    Amazon is getting old quite honestly. They'll face a nuclear verdict soon, they love to point out the fact the driver was a subcontractor after every major crash shows their logo and trailers on the news. People see through the crap.

    Even if they subcontract out they’re still hiring these folks on contract and contrary to what amazon thinks, they still have culpability in all this.

    You know how the “rent a box” and “register your LLC in this state” businesses work, right? On paper it looks like that is your physical address, not just a mail box. That’s how you end up with hundreds of these garbage companies using the same address to register their authority.

    Maybe that works in other states it won’t work in Florida.
    Maybe I’m just one of the old guards from a bygone era but I still believe in states rights.

    We need, tax bills, utility bills etc for 3 months here so I don’t think there’s really any work around.

    They even made it extremely hard to get a driver license here. Last time I renewed I had to submit a bunch of documentation.

    I’m not interested in federal DOT officers but that’s what everyone expects by the looks of it.

    Not like FMCSA puts many carriers out of business..just look at some of the carrier scores we see..it’s nuts.
