    No drivers failed to plan, it isn’t Amazon’s problem to provide parking and toilets.

    You provide the services, it is your responsibility to deal with the limitations on your end to provide that service.

    If you need an amenity to compete that commitment to provide a service, then maybe rethinking accepting the work is the first order of business for an owner.

    They pay according to what they feel is worth the cost of doing business and that’s it.

    Sorry if your desperate enough to haul there #### then deal with the consequences. I don’t shop or support Amazon, Wal mart can #### off. Support your local small businesses.

    As soon as Amazon does provide parking
    They will be #####ing it’s to restrictive.
    I have heard the horror stories from those Amazon distribution centers. Wait all day and load cancels etc. if you like that kind of ####ing for the cheap pay you go right ahead.

    Oh look another brain dead truck driver that thinks the government should fix all his problems. Do you really think the government should tell landowners what to do with their property?

    HHMmmmmm.....small LOCAL businesses and walmart can go ......off 2..??

    so then when all the small, LOCAL businesses fold up, go away and unemployment rises, and the cities, and towns look like downtown Beirut, where will YOU go for your food, clothing, gasoline, fast foods, etc..??

    if YOU do not support YOUR local SMALL business, then YOU are the end result of thier demise......

    you really did not think your thoughts thru fully....did you..???

    You are correct
    Meant for it to say Wal mart and Amazon can #### off. Yes small business all the way and will buy local before ordering online if possible.

    They already do, in the form of zoning laws, deed restrictions, and HOA covenants.
