Amazon Dedicated

So why'd you leave?

 

Good answer.

I can't help you on Amazon frieght trucking.
I have been past a few of their "Fulfillment Centers" and notice they have some of their own equipment....but most of the trucks I seen backed into docks were LTL carriers.

 

Are you talking about inbound to Amazon or outbound from Amazon?

 

I pick up Amazon loads practically everyday over in Robbinsville, NJ. I never really asked how operations work, but from what I've seen, Amazon doesn't have their own fleet. USPS, UPS, an Fed Ex have the own dedicated docks. Practically every big name trucking company you can think of picks up loads there. A lot of LTL companies as well. The only people I see on a regular basis is from USPS, UPS, and Fed Ex, so I would imagime apply to one of the 3.

 

Schneider is often advertising for dedicated Amazon accounts. Check out there website and see if one is available near you. They make it so you can enter your state or zip code to search. Pretty handy.

Amazon is very complicated. Postal service fed ex and UPS have all the outbounds...be careful with any companies claiming dedicated Amazon this time of year, they are probably Full truckloads going to Fed EX or UPS... There is not a lot of full truckload freight that goes in. Once the holiday volume drops off The Megacarriers are bye-bye.

Amazon dies in January and February...

Last year we did 80% of the outbounds from Amazon at the USPS primarily because UPS and Fed Ex had it so screwed up in 2013.

 

Western express is gonna be running Amazon for the holiday season.
