    I pulled a few loads for Amazon they have no problem at all cancelling a load on ya then refusing to pay for wasting your time since they say it was cancelled within two hours of the appointment time. They also don't cover all pay tolls. One load covered $60 tolls but wind up being $170 in tolls and they said they only cover the $60 toll price. You also don't know the weight until you get the bills and if you are driving up mountains it will be heavy.

    Oh they can. But why would they pay what you and i want when we got 15 pages of guys begging for contact info after viewing those pathetic load rates that were posted back towards the beginning of the thread.

    Well in general yes, but they cant. If you were to see me with a amazon load, just know my second stop is the bank because I charged them enough to retire!

    A few years back they were paying very well during they holiday rush. That was before they ran out and bought a ton of trailers. Ever since then its pure garbage.

    Every truck stop in the country has these that contain the information on how you can get your cheap freight hauling journey started... The number you text is on the back... Coincidentally a bankruptcy attorney has an advertisement right next to it...
