    Rite Aid definately seems to be expanding . Never really seen any Rite Aid trucks a couple years ago, but now they're all over Jersey. I get stuck behind them all the time on the turnpike because their trucks are governed around 64 mph, so I don't bother trying to pass them going at 65.

    Don't really see as many Walgreens as I do Rite Aid. I know CPC Logistics delivers for them in Plymouth Mtg, and KOP PA. I think their KOP terminal is union. I'm pretty sure they use rollers to make deliveries. Rite Aid seems to be the less physically demanding of the two, since they use liftgates.

    Rite Aid knew a few years ago was about to go under they really were not doing that good and have since had a ressuragance. I know in Ohio there not the big man on campus CVS is the big one. Rite Aid I saw everyone pulling there trailers, I see there own trucks pulling there trailers, I see JB Hunt pulling there trailers I saw Owner Operators pulling there trailers everyone pulling there trailers out of the Aberdeen (Mid Atlantic) DC.

    Our Rite Aid in my town went out of business a number of years ago it was there for a long, time but when did Rite Aid have troubles 2005-2006 sometime around there. I know for a while they really really looked like they weren't going to make it. A number of them went out of business in Cleveland. Rite Aid really is not super common in Cleveland that is a place I literally never go. There isn't even one around me to go too. Same here CVS is the drug of choice, many more CVS's then Rite Aids in Cleveland.

    Walgreens has a big DC around the corner from the Dayton terminal in Toledo (Perrysburg). They have private fleet trucks running out of there with lit up logos on their truck fairing. Half the time I think it's one of our trucks when I see one coming toward me. I think lighted fairing logos are pretty classy, but I'm a bit biased!

    Dayton has cool tractors, I like the wrap around glass on the back of the day cabs. The lit fairing gets a plus vote from me too.

    Dayton and Walgreens both have lighted company logos on the aerodomes on top of the cabs.
