• Store Replenishment: Transport palletized freight directly from local sorting hubs to Target retail store receiving docks.
• Freight Handling: Utilize hydraulic liftgates and heavy-duty manual or electric pallet jacks to carefully unload retail merchandise safely into the store's backroom.
• Safety & Compliance: Perform comprehensive pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections, maintaining perfect adherence to all DOT safety regulations.

Qualifications and Total Rewards

Candidates must be at least 21 years of age with a valid Class B Commercial Driver's License (CDL-B) equipped with an Air Brake endorsement. You must possess a clean motor vehicle record and the physical stamina to maneuver heavy palletized freight. Target provides an excellent hourly wage, predictable daytime or evening schedules ensuring daily home time, a 10% team member store discount, and premium healthcare benefits.
