    First you need to sign up to their Relay account.

    If you have the account you must first find out the requirements for that contract. Best bet is to submit a ticket via their relay. They will let you know exactly how to do it.

    I'd be terrified or maybe amused to see those rates...

    When you find out please share....

    As rich as they are they should be able to pay a rate that makes trucks want to show up and move them. Hard to say what that rate would be not knowing what exactly is involved or how far they go. Nothing I'd want to do 5 days a week no matter how much it paid. At $300-400 per unit you'd have guys with old paid off jalopies happy to move them if they could bang out 2 or 3 of them a day. Not a fun a day though.

    Amazon is more interested in catching carriers on the way down, so they can ride them to bankruptcy. It’s their business model.

    getting desperate? Well Amazon has loads for you.

    Guys take these accounts because there's always a load to be had. They have lots of loads. Just one load after another. Some are just too lazy to hunt for good loads or good contracts. Amazon loads are just falling out of the sky like rain. No looking. Just sign up & run.

    Typical new O/O syndrome. Buy a truck & start rolling in the money. Lots of loads. Then wonder how come they go broke in 6 months.

    You got to do your research. But research alone wont get it in this business. You got to have some first hand experience & understand in reality how this industry works.
