    I hope the drivers are wearing bulletproof vests and not stopping to park. Only a matter of time until you hear a trucker get robbed for that unguarded gold mine. Nothing Amazon sells is useless or cheap so that is just asking for trouble. The trailers look pretty though. Maybe once Amazon owns all businesses all trailers will be Amazon.

    I predicted this about five years ago I contacted Amazon about pulling for them exclusively but they never replied. I would use a blank trailer not advertising hauling a million dollars worth of electronics.

    Yup plus i doubt it even pays that well since most of the owner ops I see the trucks aren't in the best shape. But the mega will do it in volume like always.

    Hauling for Amazon is not any less risky than pulling a Walmart or Target trailer. They sell a lot more than electronics, in fact they sell everything. Just like Walmart, at times even cheaper.
