    Yep longhaul PO is $1.30 or so out of FL. Less if it’s a roundtrip. I saw some roundtrips disappear at $1 last week. I was hoping to find some last minute or overdue type locals when I signed up, but that’s not the case, at least right now

    DUDE THEY DONT CARE IF YOUR A FELON AS LONG AS YOUR INS CHECKS OUT. THEY CARE ABOUT YOU BEING ONTIME, USEING THE RELAY APP AND NOT REJECTING ANY LOADS AFTER YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THEM. THATS HOW YOU GET YOUR SCORE

    Well, I’m not giving up my Unemployment for less that $5.00 a mile, on 1000 trip, enjoying the vacation.

    Ive hauled Amazon here's my experience. 1st I tried the amazon relay hauling their trailers..1st load I booked a $2,100 trip 5 stops from Memphis to Dallas and back. Picked up the1st one memphis to memphis. By the time i dropped the trailer 25 miles away they had changed the load 4 times. Long story short they ended up cancelling all 4 remaing stops and changed the pay to $185.00 from $2,100.00!! All this after waiting for 12hrs to start that nightmare. Thats the part they dont tell carriers. They are constanly changing the load while youre doing it. Deleted their app..then I booked with Uber going to an Amazon facility. I am currently unloading right now. When I checked in I was told by the guy at the gate that Amazons new policy is that they do not sign or stamp bills?? I told the guy this is a brokered load and if you dont sign I dont get payed. He shrugged his shoulders and said you need to take it up with Amazon. Amazon knows if they dont sign carriers dont get payed. Thats dirty. These are not nice people. Also as a sidenote..the pay on their loads is terrible unless they just have to have it. I dont waste my time for $1.30/mi they can keep their chinese garbage. I wont be booking anything else that has anything to do with Amazon[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]

    Amazon is BS. They dont tell carriers you book a 4 or 5 stop trip and they are changing the load the entire time ypure DOING THE LOAD. My Memphis to Dallas load went from 5 stops overnight for $2,100..to one trailer move memphis to memphis for $185.00!! Waited 12hrs for that load and they cancelled every stop except for one 25mi trip..deleted their app. Now Im here unloading at an Amazon facility in North Carolina (booked thru Uber) and when I get to the gate they refuse to take my paperwork and inform me Amazon's new policy is they dont sign or stamp BOL'S?!
    Do these idiots have any clue how the freight business works?
    You dont sign carriers dont get payed..morons. Dont waste your time with these people its like they have no idea what theyre doing. The pay is pretty bad you can do alot better just hauling brokered freight.

    Amazon clearly does not value their carriers in any way. On the one hand I'm an Amazon prime customer and happy there are carriers and drivers willing to put up with their BS so I can get my stuff but I was burned one too many times as a driver and it won't ever happen again.
