    Unless I'm misunderstanding; looks like there's going to be a flood of used sprinter vans on the market.

    Issue with amazon is the bs rartes, the bottom of the barrel drivers, and the need to slash everything.

    I have done a few loads for them, trust me its not cake in the park. They would give you trailer numbers to find that dont exist and everything is your fault if things happen.

    Screw them.

    We know of a couple who recently decided to buy Trucks and work for Amazon. They’re always jumping into something new, gonna get rich, be it Amwsy, AG Williams insurance, Telemarketing from home, now Amazon. They just can’t catch a break. I’ll hear of the demise next Christmas, Lol. They thought they were going to jump into Trucking and get rich quick. Hiring Drivers, etc. Seems all their ideas depend on others doing all the work for them, while they sit back and collect. Lol, Not in the real world. Can’t say I feel sorry for them. Always scheming, trying to use others.

    Somehow, I feel that these blue van carriers will also be dismissed sooner that we think too.

    I am not convinced, if relying on hundreds funny looking MC #s dedicated to hauling this freight instead of letting it be in the hands of mega carriers and their inside brokerages is any more efficient.
