    I'm running mail loads here locally. I'm seeing ALOT of box trucks. Is this profitable? Is it easier to run? Do I need my own authority? Does Amazon pay well? Is it a ##### to get going and started?
    Thanks for any insight

    Maybe I'm new, but I don't see wtf is so funny? It's a simple question? Wheres the humor come in? Does it make sense to rent or.buy a box truck and run that way or not?

    Have you done any research on what it's like to run for Amazon? Even here on this forum?

    Laughter does a heart good:D:D. We can't say what is good for you. You have to make that determination for your goals. Amazon may work for you for what you are doing. It will not work for me at this time.
    There are a lot of variables to your question. You have to map out a plan to what you want to accomplish. You have to see if running a box truck business with Amazon will produce what you need to be successful. All the best as you plan your journey

    Buy 2. You can live in one and burn one for insurance money after you go broke hauling any Amazon freight.

    But seriously. No. Don’t do it. And DO NOT listen to anyone on YouTube saying otherwise.

    If you can, talk to some Amazon drivers and find out how they got started and where they bought the trucks.
    They won't spend too much time talking though, they like to keep the wheels turning.
