    Hey they want easy, it don’t matter that it don’t pay. They can’t be bothered to read the whole thread to see the numbers, they deserve everything they get.

    LOL. These guys come off like they're begging for that Amazon contact number.

    Never worked for amazon,contacted them a year ago and almost signed on.
    I dont have any recent phone or email for them.
    To the negative people on this thread:lot of people are making a lot of money with amazon:i know at least three guys who built fleets in less then two years pulling amazon trailers.

    Yeah because Jeff wants to share his wealth with all you truck drivers and truck owners?


    I mean he is already wealthy enough. Time to give back to the people?

    You know he could just run his own trucks cheaper but wants to make sure you guys get your come ups.

    I wasted a lot of time watching mandatory videos and taking a test getting us set up direct with Amazon. The rates across their board are awful everywhere I looked and this was during peak in 4th quarter. I would suggest leasing on with Schneider National, Crete Carriers etc on their $1.30 a mile program, your costs will be significantly less for basically the same rates. I dont know how any trucking business can thrive let alone expand entirely depending on Amazon hard to believe or take anyone serious who makes such fantastic claims.

    It's basically a backhaul loadboard. The loads are plentiful and lightweight, poor paying, and sometimes even come with Amazon type headaches. It is a myth you need 3 trucks minimum to sign on with them. They gladly accept any and all one truck operators who meet their minimum insurance requirements. Except for time consuming with video and testing nonsense it's actually very easy to contact them and get in so go knock yourselves out.
