I thought that was what the tassel carpet hanging in the windshield was for. That’s what I call a Canadian these days because fair chance there’s an Ontario plate on the trailer and they’re doing 10 under the limit.
Amazon Relay. Thoughts?

I would say you could use it as a supplemental income while using other boards to get loads. Rates are horrible and brokers and Amazon want to pay you a few bucks to move the whole f world.
Your best bet is to find reliable and trustworthy brokers or ultimately work with shippers in your area.Last edited: Jun 6, 2025

Amazon is beyond cheap, but you see plenty of guys doing it. Usually flip floppers. No offense to anyone. I did it for a bit to try between contracts. Like $1.20 or less? Go for it. Also plan on competing with everyone else waiting for a load.
The money at Amazon used to be contracts. You commit to a week usually or 2. They tell you where you are going and when. When I was doing that for a bit in FL I averaged right around $2/mi. Not great but not dirt cheap and it was easy. Very light. Mostly moving empties around or Amazon bins and then waste paper or paper towels back. Something.
Contracts though have gotten cheaper. I used to do one out of AL and it paid $1572. I hear now it’s $1100.
Amazon has too many trucks. Too many want to do it. -
Garbage loads, that non English speaking migrants pull for pennies
