    It’s pretty simple if you don’t like amazon then don’t buy crap from theire web site. And don’t haul any of theire loads. I’ve been driving for 10 years now and have never done an amazon load.

    Don’t forget all the Amazon vans I see on the road. They will own the majority of the last mile delivery of their orders very soon also. I don’t know how much of Fed Ex local delivery is amazon, but they will lose it all very soon

    This is fantastic. It really fits with Jeff Bezos's vision for $15 CDL positions. I can't wait.

    It’s sad, but happening. The way they are building their own transportation infrastructure from click to deliver is impressive actually. Every year they will only grow. I’m not a fan of how they are doing it, but they are doing it right. I’ll give em that

    Going to be interesting. One thing, the FAA turned down the request by Amazon to use drones for their deliveries, but they gave UPS the green light to use the drones to deliver.

    Well... UPS does everything in its power to be responsible when they do something. Amazon does everything in its power to cut ties with its "employees" (contractors).

    Why? You want less pay than the already low pay Amazon has?
