    Amazon getting into the boating business!!
    Looks like they put something down on 3-4 boats!!
    Maybe the boats that were damaged will be sold at a reduced rate – some assembly required!

    Yeah, no.. Amazon regrets the incident but is not responsible. The contractors will be buying these boats.

    Maybe not. Keep in mind with the new nuclear virdict where the broker can be held responsible for what the carriers they hire do in specific instances. If this is one of those here today gone tomorrow H1B/illegal ops and they skip town....well better then even chance amazon will be buying a few boats.

    I was being sarcastic in my comment. They would make an empty statement like that to the media if asked about it. And of course Amazon is responsible for all of the mayhem, destruction and death caused by the cheap labor they 1099 out. Legally though their hands are clean. I guess we'll see how this legal precedent plays out.

    The brokers who are facilitating the Amazon loads will now face scrutiny after the scotus ruling stating brokers can be held liable shady carriers practice that they broker loads to

    Amazon logistics could be affected by the new scotus ruling as well..I bet many of those loads are brokered thru them
