Amazon relay Canada

No. Amazon Relay doesn't exist here

 

I work for LTL carrier,,I get some "cubes" of Amazon, have not seen a full trailer but then I don't ask and don't hang around. I always get tailed loaded with a few skids FEDEX most nights.,interline I suppose,

 

My company runs strictly Amazon freight and yes there is a relay load board for mobile and computer. However work has slowed down a lot since peak season (October- January) only certain carriers get the good paying loads. They have "shifts" for local drivers which pays around 1200-1500 per shift which is what we do. The load board these days is dead, most loads are pre-booked 2-3 days in advance. Many new carriers have entered.

There are some good paying loads that come SOMETIMES. We ran Toronto - Moncton NB before which varied from $3000-$3600. We made bank running paper logs, super single. Although those days are finished with elogs.

 

I’ve been noticing lately a lot of third party carriers doing power only pulling Amazon trailer’s travelling along the 401 east . i guess headed to Ottawa or the east coast . No info on how it works though unfortunately

 

If you mean straight trucks, yes they do have those loads. They aren't as frequent but they are there. We run some with our straight trucks. Apparently from what I heard from my company they pay the same for straight trucks and 53"

 

Carriers are getting desperate for work and taking what they can. The rates are crap in comparison to what they used to be because of it.

Amazon provides the trailer, and it's most of the time just trailer drops. Since you're pulling an Amazon trailer the rates are usually lower too. Amazon is cutting out most third parties and getting rid of carrier trailers in favor of theirs.

 

Does anyone know if there is a phone number for Amazon Relay Canada? I need a direct phone number in order to speak with a human. This might sound crazy but I'm thinking it's a 'bot' type of program their using email. It has to be some kind of A.I. algorithm because every question ask through email is way off regarding a proper answer. The answers given aren't even relevant to the questions asked.

 

What do you need to talk about? I'm still pulling amazon loads, there isn't a number on our support section but rather they do callbacks.
