    I see a lot of O/O pulling Amazon Trailer’s, but I always heard on here that the pay was too low.

    So what’s the scoop?

    I have no idea since I've never pulled an Amazon trailer, nor am I set up with them. I will say this though about the guys I see hauling their trailers on the I-5, on second thought I'd better not LOL.

    Same here. I’d rather park my truck, than contribute to the raise of another cancer of corporate greed.:(
    Friend of mine was pulling their trailers. He said it was good enough before the holidays. Last I heard he was looking to get with Landstar.

    Some one posted they got $950 for a 150 loaded mile run, don’t know how many deadhead miles he ran to get it, but $950 for 150 miles doesn’t sound to bad to me, but I don’t know all the fact about this load, maybe he’ll see this post and fill in the blanks
