Did amazon ever reply back? How do you know the maximum bid is $250? If that's the case it might not be worth it. My estimated cost for workers comp ins, which is one of the requirements is over $1000 a month.Last edited: May 3, 2017

They did get back to me after I incorporated and became a legitimate business.
I actually bid below the $250 maximum for 25 vans and am making about $40 per van daily even after I pay for a on-site dispatcher.
You have to remember that your vans run 7 days a week and Amazon guarantees to keep your employees busy. Not only that, they allow me to park the vans there, which makes my overhead considerably lower. There's plenty of money to be made.Last edited: May 4, 2017

Hey Chawn, How is the amazon business going?
I'm actually in the process of joining myself. Did you have a decent amount start up capital? and do you run any routes or fill in for dispatch?Last edited: May 30, 2017

Hi,
I am new here. I am current FedEx ISP contractor. Comparing AMZL model with FedEx ISP to decide whether it is worth bothering to invest into AMZL endeavor.
Question: Does Amazon requires delivery provider to have full DOT operating authority and hazmat/alcohol licenses ?
Also I did some math. After you account for amortization there will be barely any margin left if contractor bids $250 per route.
day
wages $160.00 ($800/week)
payrol taxes $17.60
workers comp $22.40
fuel $16.00
maintenance $8.22 ($3000/van/year)
liability insurance/fees $6.85 ($1500+$1000/year)
total expenses $231
revenue $250
cashflow $19
capital investment (van) $66 ($24000 amortized over 20 years)
amortization $3
net after amortization $16
Correct me if i calculated something wrong.
From what i see the main problem with AMZL model is that i would need at least 3 times larger fleet (number of routes) to generate cashflow comparable to FedEx ISP.
PS: I am in California so payrol, insurance and fuel costs are calculated accordingly. -
