If contacts... what about getting them through Wally World or Costco (or Sam's Club).

As packrat stated earlier to a similar idea (post office) it's not going to work. Unless you're on a pretty set account how will you know where you will be at a given time. Most stores I believe only hold an item for 7 days. Your best bet is double checking with your Fleet manager/dispatcher that it's ok to ship to a terminal and get you routed through. I dont see it being a problem as it will help you be a safe driver. Hopefully you plan well enough in advance so you don't run out (or have a pair of glasses) as it's no guarantee they'll be able to route you there on the exact day you need them.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Dispatcher:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.Fleet Manager:

NOTES: Costco pharmacy closed on Sundays.
FYI... IL and WI (I know for sure... likely others as well) MUST let you use their pharmacy - even if you are not a member. When they ask to see your membership card simply say "pharmacy". (They do not have to let you buy anything else, however)...
