I feel safer around a fedex, lots of changes in a few years.

Lol i saw that moron today. But yea as i said before. Amazons hireing process is to bring in a bunch of drivers and sit them down with a block set. Then they kick out anyone smart enough to not instantly go to trying to swallow the blocks. Once you only have the morons trying to swallow blocks left. They then sit them into a test simulator and tell them to follow the GPS. The ones that play madmaxx are allowed to go to the next stage the ones that make it to the destination safely are released.
The next test is they hold up a bunch of traffic signs in various languages and the most common pictographic ones. If anyone can read ANY of the signs they are released. And whoever is left is who is hired by amazon.snowbird_89, JoeyJunk, Hammer166 and 7 others Thank this. -
Had an Amazon delivery van wait until I was almost in front of him before he pulled out and flogged the go pedal up in Groveport, Ohio yesterday. Granted I was only going 25, but I was 100 feet or less away when he hit the hammer….

You’d be hard pressed to drive more than 15 miles without seeing one of those idiots parked on the shoulder with their mirror in the lane of travel. Those are some truly odd characters hauling Amazon crap.

A few months ago I was coming back from albuquerque and I saw an amazon truck on the opposite side of the highway, completely upside down. The truck wasnt destroyed, it didnt even look damaged from what I could see but there was a wrecker attaching hooks to it. No ambulances or fire trucks either. I wonder wtf happened. The land was flat on the edge of the highway, but the truck was still on the pavement oddly.

In Fisherville, Va the Amazon "Fulfillment Center" located on route 608, Tinkling Springs Road, it is just beyond Expo Road and UPS has their building there. On the average day, at least 4 or 5 Amazon trucks, either can't read, confused, will turn on Expo Rd, some will go all the way to the end of Expo rd, but most of them will turn into UPS, jamming up the small yard trying to making a u-turn in UPS yard. The yard is usually busy with UPS package cars trying to get out and the feeder drivers trying to hook up and here comes an Amazon in, you get the picture??

I don't quite see Amazon trucks as significantly worse than everyone else for aggressive driving (and I do not let people camp out near me long enough to make comparisons the hard way) -- though a while back I did end up getting caught in the middle lane while heavy, on an upgrade, and surrounded by other unprofessionals because an Amazon pulled off the shoulder and accelerated fast enough to prevent me from re-entering the right lane.
Now that I think about it a bit, maybe they're all Amazon.Savor the Flavor and Freddy57 Thank this. -
The day cabs with Amazon on them are worse. I’ve come up on them doing 45 in the middle lane of NJ tpk bobtail in middle of night. Seems like a normal occurrence. Guys driving seem clueless.
