    I know what it's like to be an hourly-joe working in the store, but what do the Drivers get?

    i dunno, i think they contract out to ruan over here in new york. their pay scale doesn't look too bad, and last i knew, most of ruan was teamsters. so maybe get ahold of ruan transport.

    There's a big DC in western Oregon that I see primarily Swift tractors pulling the Target trailers. I've never seen a tractor painted for Target.

    I think they do a lot like Wal Mart and have different mega carriers pulling for them out of different DC's. You go to Wal Mart DC's and some have Crete pulling dedicated out of them some have Swift and so on. I have a family member that works for Schneider up in Pennsylvania and he does a lot of Target drop and hook store deliveries. i think It just depends on where you are as to what company they have pulling. i dont think they have a private fleet like Wal Mart so i think it is 100% contract stuff with carriers.

    Swift also has the contract for the Pueblo, CO DC. They deliver to the local stores in daycabs, and run sleepers trucks to UT, WY, and a few other states
