Looking for Phoenix area local jobs:

Lol....

Apparently they're spreading like roaches around my area, that's the first one that I've seen. That's why I think using drones is gonna be a no go. I can't imagine the sky's littered with Amazon drones everywhere.

 

Filiberto's was running an ad for cashiers recently.

 

Basically Amazon is filling in the gap that's gonna be missing when they eliminate UPS and Fed Ex. Right now, USPS does more than half of Amazon's deliveries, roughly about 55%, where as UPS does about 25% and Fed Ex about 20%. They're using an Uber style delivery service called Amazon Flex, where it's run basically the exact same way. You download an app and use your own vehicle to work as an independent contractor to deliver for Amazon, making about $18-25 an hour.

As far as tractor trailer positions, you have to be a fleet owner with tractors ONLY, to contract dedicated linehaul work to pull Amazon trailers. So you would actually be working for a contract carrier, and not for Amazon.

Or you can also try applying for any position that's open at USPS. The information that I sent you doesn't just apply for PSE Tractor Trailer Operator, it also applies to every other position that's available as well, from letter carriers, mail handlers, clerks, etc. Each position at the Post Office has a class level. PSE TTO is a level 8 position. Expeditors are a level 7 position, and some of them make over $100k, so you can imagine what a level 8 career TTO makes.

 

Not positive, but I think they are using some subs for Flex. Recent A deliveries here (south of PHX) have been via OnTrac. Also noticed at least one national messenger company suddenly looking for a lot of drivers here and PHX. I looked into OnTrac at one point and I'm not sure how the drivers survive, even if they live in their vans. But Newegg already was using them and they are fast from SoCal, usually next day, so they would be a logical way to start for A.

If A is looking to cut costs, they would surely pay less than the vendors they have been using.

 

1. From what I was told from one of my coworkers, it has to be a nothing less than a minivan, preferably a cargo van. Here is a link to their website for more info......

2. I couldn't really get any information on this other than what I was told, so I did a little research and only found this...

3. An expeditor is in charge of shipping and receiving.

 

Amazon is definitely looking to cut costs wherever they can. They've invested so much in their logistics and building new fulfillment and sorting centers, that their stocks have dropped increasingly, but it should gradually get better once they get things going, especially with them leasing 20 cargo planes with the option to buy, which is a game changer. Their basically turning into the online Walmart now. I think they took a few lessons from the Postal Service on contracting work out.

I've already seen the impact of what Amazon's contract with the Postal Service is doing. It seems they realized that if mail is going down, the logical solution is to increase package delivery instead. Our docks are now nothing but packages. I hardly pickup mail that much nowdays, it's basically about 80% freight now, from my experience.

 

Just for the halibut I sent Flex an email mentioning PHX, the reply stated that they don't have anything there yet. Sent one for Las Vegas, same thing, but they are a little automated sounding, it's like dealing with a bot.
