    I hauled TV's for Best Buy before. Even the shippers have no marking on the wearhouse. They actually use another company to handle that so the only name of the company handle the wearhouse might be on the building but most time not even that just a street address is all you have to find the place. Even then I had touble finding the shipper.

    I work for the company that does those accounts, it's dedicated. Usually have 2-3 stores on one trailer. Start \ end same place get the money for extrà stops, and some stores take forever to unload. Getting detection is not an issue. Have ran them out of GA, TX, MN. I can't do GA dedicated, I'm 15-35 miles out of area. I put range cuz drivers have been accepted out of the "range"

    If you want to know who hauls for Best Buy you could always go the the stores and see what trucks are in the docks.

    Werner's on the door at some for extra merch hold. Our trucks on doors long enough to unload, unless out of hours etc

    Exactly. They contract out most of it.

    I've delivered to IKEA a few times, but how often do we see an IKEA trailer being hauled. They also use Knight and a few others.

    This whole thread is a non-sequitur.
     
    Heathar Thanks this.

    So that means they are tired of their drivers tailgating Swift drivers and getting caught up in the mayhem?
    Or maybe causing it?

    Changing the color won't help that problem.
     
    Heathar Thanks this.

    Wouldn't be getting tailgated as much if they didn't just sit in the middle lane going all slow like they wont do and then looking at you when you hammer down around them in the slow lane like f you
