    I am a business person, but I don't see how anyone could make money with the rates that low. But that is why I don't haul anything for Amazon

    I emailed Amazon they said you don't need 3 trucks.

    I was a company driver for a carrier for amazon, I believe you can only pull loads from the load board with 1 truck, no dedicated routes

    I did check them out briefly but you have to have on your insurance to be able to fully replace a $50000 trailer, or least that's the value that they want.

    The terminology was not trailer interchange it was replacement of $50000.

    For whatever reason my insurance company only goes to 40000 on the trailer interchange but they could make it so that non owned trailers have a $50000 payoff.

    She said the terminology has to be exactly correct with interchange and non owned trailers, but the cost of it I don't remember what it was but it wasn't worth it.

    I already have the insurance in place. I haul for Apex bulk they require 3m balloon and 50k non trailer and it runs me about $1400 a month. Im debating on trying it. Hell my equipment is paid off so can still make a decent profit off cheaper freight
