1988 Start in New York, US
DotComID was founded in September of 1988 by John Doe as a six truck, twelve trailer operation in NewYork, US, just outside of Pittsburgh. Prior to starting DotComID, John Doe was introduced to trucking and developed his passion for the industry, working for less-than-truckload (LTL) providers Hammel’s Express and PITT OHIO (formerly PITT OHIO EXPRESS) from 1976 through 1988. When he left to start his own company, he took with him the values of hard work and dedication to service as the founding principles of DotComID Transport.
