    The shenanigans continue to this day...with Walmart and Costco I'm always in and out. With Target I've gotten detention every time.

    The last time at Target I was able to take a full 10 hour break so it worked out...at least they warned me ahead of time.

    Good luck at their Waterloo and Denton warehouses. Last time I delivered at the Waterloo location they moved my delivery appointment a day later without telling the company I was with at the time. Then when I did get unloaded they took well over 6-7 hours.
    Here at the Denton warehouse it’s already well past the appointment time and now looking at losing a good long weekend run thanks to target. Basically it’s one big reason I don’t go to their stores. Even Walmart is better to deal with than these clowns.

    Here’s a page out of my playbook..

    When I book a Target load (I actually really like Target loads) I plan on just dropping my trailer and leaving to get my 10 at a TS . Once they call I document it and put in for detention accordingly. Always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when they max out the detention at 5 hours giving me an extra $200 while I sleep.

    Sometimes like one in OR if it’s an early morning Sunday appointment I just hang out because they’re usually pretty quick.
    Late afternoon deliveries, I’m gone.

    Only time Ive ever been to a Target DC was to pick up a trailer that a guy dropped when he said "screw (not the actual word) this, I quit". :)

    Dont know how long the trailer was there, but it was empty when I got it, so they seem fine to me :)

    I haven't done a Target DC live unload in about two-years, but the one in Midway, GA took over eight hours. They let you bobtail out to truck stops and come back, though..

    They don't fight a detention payout either..
