    They say the rich get rich and the poor get poorer. I guess this is a “Prime” example of why that happens.

    Amazon loads lol..... Got my truck and got right into hot oil for asphalt/ aggregate plants here in northern Cali. This is my first season (runs from may til end of November) -- all within 150 mile radius , 2-4 loads a day 10-14 hour days, one or 2 weekend days a month. 4500-6k a week gross (last check was 11800 for 2 weeks) - easy ### work . Many other BETTER opportunities out there besides Amazon just do a LITTLE research folks.... Heck I can drop and hook to railyards home every night 5k a week, or pull transfers or bottom dumps for about the same as the hot oil right now -- and these are all local home every night off most weekend companies. Get off the Amazon train -- heck for that matter I laugh at these Landstar guys that swear it's the best thing in the industry

    That could be like the chicken and egg thing. Are they poor because they are bad at math and couldn't get better or did they become poor from being bad at math?

    HERE'S THE CONTACT INFO GUYS! Amazon

    There's several options with them; "Linehaul program or bid on straight truck runs in our Straight Truck/Box Truck program. If you don’t want to commit any capacity you can also search for loads on our Relay Load Board." (Where the rates suck and what this thread mainly focused on, lol!)

    This thread could've been a lot of shorter. I got to thank [QUOTE="Scooter Jones[/QUOTE] for the lead.
