Target Food Distribution Center

Facility info

Appointments required. Check in up to 1 hour early. Late arrivals (15+ min) may be rescheduled 24 hours out — enforcement inconsistent. Door assignment highly variable. Some get doors in minutes; others wait 3+ hours after check-in. Receiving window opens at 4am for early appointments. Unloading times: plan for 4–6 hours minimum. Range is chaotic — 2 hours on good days to 8+ hours regularly. Staffing shortage is chronic. Expect 5–10 hour waits for small loads (3–7 pallets). One report of 20+ hours on dock. Paperwork processed after unload. S&R contacts you via text/call when complete. Bring your own food; breaks are unpredictable. Safety vest mandatory at all times. Seal broken from inside dock. S&R keeps copy of BOL, returns original to you. Staff attitude mixed. Security friendly. Receiving office staff described as rude, disrespectful, dismissive of driver time. Some reports of office staff neglecting duties. One positive report of "exceptional" workers. Rejections common. Products refused for sell-by dates less than one year out. Some loads rejected outright. Yard parking available. Tight driveway — trucks parked on both sides make entry/exit difficult.
