    Is the Target dedicated account a drop and hook or do you have to unload the trailer? And what is the home time for this type of run? I live in Huntsville, AL.

    I don't know about the Target account but when I was with them,my trainer had the Dollar General account and we didn't have to unload if we didn't want too.Don't know about pay but as far I heard its was around $450-$550 a week.Not much $$$ but your home almost every 10-14 days or less.Also I don't know about now but when I was there,to get any account,you had to go on a waiting list.I have heard of drivers waiting any where from 3 months up to over a year!So there a good chance if you go with Werner,your not going to be able get a Target account right off the bat.

    Exit 310-
    I am on the target account up in WI right now full time. It is 100% drp n hk at the stores. We do get bk hauls and some of them are prld and some of them are lvld, just depends on the vendor. As far as ht goes well 4 me I only live about 45 mins from the dc and if I do get done early I can go home if I want to. But more likely than not all u would b getting off is time 4 ur 34 hr reset. Other than that it is pretty easy runs up here. we cover pretty much the eastern half of WI, and the burbs of the windy city. I will say this if u are with Werner right now and are willing to relocate to WI they are in need of a few permenant drivers. We had a few quite is the last couple of weeks. hope all of this helps

    Swift and Schneider are the two carriers out of Chambersburg for the Target dedicated account. They are both hiring for that account.

    Ruan and Dart are the two most used carriers for the Cedar Falls, IA. Target D.C. (Ruan is the "in-house" carrier and shag service)---otherwise Schneider has quite a few drop & hooks on the dry side, and Stevens and TransAm have quite a few drop & hooks on the refrigerated side.
