I recently learned that a large portion of reviews on products sold on Amazon are not genuine. I bought a faulty/dangerous product recently and left a review trying to warn others.
The seller tried to bribe me to remove it. Instead I edited the review and exposed the fraud with a screenshot of the "offer". Amazon took down my review and banned me from adding another.
It was a huge eye opener for me and all the people they're killing on the roads has really been weighing on me. I couldn't help but feel partially responsible myself every time I bought something there.
By funding it I'm essentially making myself an accomplice. Long story short, I've decided to close my Amazon account today. I hope others do the same. At some point consumers need to take responsibility for their role in murder by Capitalism.Gearjammin' Penguin, JonJon78, Kyle G. and 2 others Thank this. -

Meanwhile the mailbox number, two tone Cascadia is blowing the scale, followed by the unmarked Penske box truck obviously being used commercially, followed by the Amazon Prime contractor that has tape residue in 4 different spots from all the company info it’s had on it in the last 3 days. No DOT officer wants to write a 37 page report and explain what’s wrong and what OOS means to someone who barely knows how to turn a key.
I know law enforcement can’t actually single out people all day based on bias that obviously, but if any experienced truck driver was able to roleplay DOT officer for a day, they’d have the entire weigh station full of OOS, egregious violations within the first 15 minutesIH Truck Guy, mjd4277, Gearjammin' Penguin and 12 others Thank this. -
Dot also knows the honest companies will pay the fines to stay clean. The others won’t. It is like down here with all the illegals driving rock trucks. Dot don’t mess with them because they will not get the revenue. Those guys would rather spend time in jail to pay off the fine than hand the cops money. They get out and go back to doing the same thing again the next day.

Amazon has become similar to brokers who don't care about quality service and only saving to feed the machine and themselves. The companies and brokers who care about quality 90% to 97% of the time get quality service because they pay more for it. Unfortunately its become relevant that hard times makes difficult decisions. And usually the moral aspect of it reflects on the outcome overall. "Most times You Get What You Pay For' even regarding quality service.!

On I-64, across Illinois and Indiana, I’ve been seeing nothing but these single-truck, no-name operators and junkers like scrap haulers and tandem dumps being pulled over for inspections, the last 6 months or so. The scales are a different story, because these immigrant/illegit operators all have PrePass and get to drive on by.
