Amazon Relay , what's the scoop?

Buddy of mine has his own authority, runs power only. Gets calls all the time from various Amazon representatives offering substandard revenue, like 35% less than what he needs to make it. There has to be a reason that the vast majority of tractors pulling blue Amazon Prime trailers have DOT numbers in the 4 million plus range, meaning they have only had their authority for a short time.

 

I had relay up today, and apparently Monday’s are $1.20’s time. I was just looking for some busy work when I setup with them. I’ve never pulled a load for them, so relay says when I get my on time percentage to 90%, I’ll see more loads. Maybe they pay better? Maybe I’ll have to do a local and find out. I doubt it though.

 

That 90% thing sometimes gets you a good kid at the last minute but you have to be on 24/7 on that site to book it, but in reality that 90% performance boost just gives you earlier access to crappy loads.

 

No thank you.

 

I am getting a delay in shipment notice on some parts i order?

 

I see a lot of you guys ####ting on Amazon loads. From my experience it is much better and simpler to haul for them than most of the brokers out there. The amazon process is easy and smooth, done on an app, no sitting at a shipper for 2 hours hauling 45k in beverages.
I grossed 5600 last week, i worked 5 days.

 

The #### pier rats switched to Amazon that's all the info you should need before running for the hills

 

DO NOT waste your time with Amazon Relay. You have to be looking at the load board 24/7 to even get a decent load. Or you can also post a truck and see if you get anything on there. ONLY thing is that they cancel most of the booked loads you worked hard to book. Sometimes even an hour before the pickup time. Also don't even get me started on warehouse, they don't have anything in the right place causing major delays. That's a problem considering they want you at an exact time to your next stop. When you try to reach anyone for support there is no direct number for anything.

 

"Amazon Relay , what's the scoop?"

Big old scoop of horse manure from what I hear. You go first.

 

I see 30 trucks in line at distribution , some guy running Amazon freight said it takes 3-4 hrs just to get to the gate . I have seen at least 2 of there facilities and they are backed up like that .
