Amazon Relay Workers Comp requirement

I stood up for Amazon because I was making good money throughout peak season now I won't piss on their trailer.

Amazon just started a new program that is gonna kill the rates even further. They're offering up to 10 trucks they make payments and maintenance cover fuel you pay drivers and insurance. They load you on a 76 hr block. You need to hire 2 drivers per truck.

There's gonna be a flood of trucks hitting the spot market once this program gets operational.

The area I run all the container guys pull Amazon also. A bunch of beat up ### trucks with nobody who speaks english thinking $1.08 per mile from Vegas to Phoenix is a good deal

 

You can't call them

 

Amazon has a load Vegas to Orlando scheduled for 2 days team, they also post that load for 2 days solo. If you are late Amazon puts it against your carrier score. They say you can dispute it but Amazon has failed to remove any negative marks caused by them.

 

I agree, same issue here, considering a ghost policy

 

Not bad at all / do you mind me asking what’s ur typical fuel discount and with whom? And did you end up using a ghost policy.

 

How did you work out the insurance ?

that’s what started this thread right ?

 

Hey thanks for the information! A ghost policy is basically a policy that excludes yourself so basically you are paying for a piece of paper that satisfies the requirements. I’m considering this option - price is around $1200 - all paid upfront!
