    I pulled a load thru a company for Amazon, the pay was good, but too many hoops and rates are good if they are in a bind, or when holidays are approaching , good pay, but other than that too many hoops and hurdles

    I am looking into this for a friend. But he is currently with Fedex and apparently there are a ton of hoops and hurdles there as well. Amazon seems like a more reliable route in the future vs Fedex.

    Nax, how long did you wait until they sent you that email invite? I have reached out to that email in the past with no response.

    I used to get amazon loads thru company and a lot of loads used to get cancelled literally 15 minutes before pick up.

    I never reached out to them. It just popped in my inbox. I live within 20 miles of an amazon fulfilment center, so they may have researched my MC and sent the solicitation email, hoping I can jump on their loads.
     
    igor.kilimnik Thanks this.

    Really??

    Well that's strange.

    My insurance agent also thought it was interesting that they reached out. He has other carriers that had to knock on Amazon's door for a while before they were let in. I was asking him about the CRAZY $2MM policy coverage - He told me its only an additional $500/yr

    I'm starting to think its prolly my clean MC (6 months old though) and the fact that I'm a night/weekend runner (while bears are sleeping). OR proximity to Amazon DC.

    Honestly, I don't know how to connect with them - Other than respond to the invite.

    I'm also power only for now, and I;m getting tired of getting "rescue/last minute" loads
