    Won't have to worry about those checks bouncing or your fuel card turned off.

    Going to be interesting. Amazon is going to have to have a good compensation program to attract and keep good drivers.

    Who knows. They could have looked at Swift's pay and think they can get away with that. And they may, unfortunately, be correct. After all, look at how many postings we get here to pull cheap Amazon freight

    With today's E-logs and regs they will have to adopt something other than their heavy handed treatment of warehouse workers. If you stop to whizz you'll get a call. "Productivity down, get back in that truck" :biggrin_25523:
