    I have two personal friends that are o/o's hauling for amazon through a contracted carrier they're leased on to for 10%. Both are NET'ing an avg of $3300 per week after ALL expenses. They stay 3 weeks out on the road and 1 week home. This is real current information. Lite loads, 400-650 miles, drop/hook. Both are remodeling their houses and living a descent lifestyle. The money is there its just a matter of how to set yourself up to maximizing this opportunity.

    To bad I just sold my truck and got a union operator position. Guess I am missing out on never being home. I am sure my wife is mad I am home everyday also. Jody can’t come over.

    To each there own. I say F it all should try them. I love amazon so anything to keep my shipping cost free.

    So after everything A to Z is deducted from the business your buddies are are NETTING $170k a year after they give someone 10% pulling Amazon loads? LMFAO:laughing-guffaw: Think some people get gross and net confused. Or they just think the rest of us are stupid.

    The Amazon business model fails if they can’t get it shipped cheap. There is no way they can compete with brick & mortar if they can’t ship their Chinese crap cheap.

    Yep, Jeff Bezos is getting filthy rich off the backs of poor saps that are willing to haul his junk cheap.

    That's the problem with these forums, you get to many opinions and arguments from people with no experience in the subject matter. Just a waste of time trying to figure out the real situation and facts.

    So yesterday as I was washing my truck an Uber driver in a Prius pulls up and stops in front of my house. He gets out with a Amazon package the wife ordered. I ask him what they pay for him to deliver lol he wouldn't tell me.
