    Walmarts market cap is like 330 billion I think. Amazon is like 1.3 trillion.

    They have a LOT of money to lose!

    And I forsee them losing it. Walmart has happy drivers and real estate with parking lots all over the planet.

    Amazon has trailers and they are irritating their carriers.

    It is kinda fun to watch.

    Shhhh don’t tell anyone. As a proud Amazon shareholder I welcome most of the bottom feeders to pull our trailers as cheap as possible except the ones who can’t keep the trailers on the road or in their lane.(which seems to be many of them these days) I can see a time in the distant future where either the trailers will no longer be Amazon branded or they will start paying more to get Professional well paid drivers to pull them due to serious negative publicity from reckless driving and Amazon branded trailers. You get what you pay for and when you seek the cheapest transportation, you get exactly what you deserve and that includes some of the worst drivers available. Not all are bad so don’t take offense if any of you have pulled Amazon freight for a great rate and you are a safe, professional driver.
    I definitely wouldn’t work for Amazon, but I happily make money off of them and the cheap freight haulers. They also are often the easiest place to shop for business items.

    The way amazon haulers drive tells me all I need to know not to ever consider driving for them. They're right up there with container haulers.
