Hey man appreciate how clearly and understandable you explained things. I currently do loads for amazon but with a 📦 🚚. I have a class A and was interested in getting a daycab so like you said (options) when I don't like the BT loads I can also look at the power only. But You where awesome in your explaining.

[@otrdriver8446]

Tony Thanks for the information. I pull for Amazon with my own trailer. One of the biggest reasons why I got my own trailer is because certain Amazon Fulfillment Centers don't have as many loads/empty trailers out their facility, so I found myself sitting for a day sometimes up to 3 days trying to get a empty trailer or a load out of that area facility. Sometimes I had to bobtail to another facility a few miles away or up to 100 miles away to get a load or empty out of the area. As you mentioned with your own trailer you can be very flexible. Some Amazon power only loads don't pay very well, so having my own trailer I can usually pickup a CH Robinson, Coyote, uber, or regular broker load, make up the for low rate or no loads/empty coming out of that facility. Don't get me wrong I like Amazon and how they use technology to make loading and unloading more efficient. It just with the way trucking is right now, you have to be as flexible as possible to bring in good revenue on a weekly basis.

[@TruckingTopicsToday]

Right on, brother. I always say that Amazon is a good backup...but not a good thing to do as your only choice.

[@jamalwright8829]

[@josem1118]

I think this video convinced me to go to Amazon thanks for the info

[@eugenemichael6515]

It all sounds good but I have had some nightmares with Amazon. I never heard of them taking someone more than an hour early so getting there 6 hours early in the hope of them taking me would more than likely leave me steaming. I was held up at a facility for 2.5 days because their system kept crashing. All the truck stops were full as a result so I had nowhere to park so I stopped in the middle of their driveway at the check-in bldg and refused to move. They finally allowed me to drop my trailer in the yard and they moved it to a door when they were ready. On top of all that they lost my paperwork and it took several hours to locate it when I went back to pick up my trailer. The trailer was trashed as well. I hope you can understand why I would be very leery about working with them. Their rates are not all that good. Glad to hear at least someone has had good experiences with them.

Just curious what’s the avg pay for power only Amazon relays?

[@alvinmarsh9878]

Man it’s not great at all on average Amazon Relay power only pays $1.40 - $2.02 per mile it’s 😢 sad 😞 majority of their loads are gonna be multi stops. For instance 1,749 miles would pay power only $3,544.95 going one way to Arizona minus fuel costs which could rage going that far $1,051.20. Which would leave you with $2,493.70 after 4-5 days of driving now you’re stuck in Arizona and might have to deadhead somewhere else to find a load

What do you do when lights not working or flat tire on amazon trailer when doing power only? Do they have a mechanics around? Or do you ask for another trailer? When cargo not secure can you just have one of workers secure it?

[@TruckingTopicsToday]

If you are still at the facility, Amazon will call out a repair truck to come to the yard and correct the issue. It’s usually a quick process. Amazon is not good at securing their loads. Generally, you just roll with it because we are not allowed in the trailers.

[@kalyda211]

I am not sure what area you are based out of but I can share what is like to start in California (particularly SoCal) area. It is easy to sign up to be with Amazon as long as you meet their requirements. Here's the website showing everything they need- relay.amazon.com/get-started However, the hard part is finding good loads. I believe at the moment Amazon is encouraging many carriers/drivers to join their network. With lots of trucks/carriers now joining, there is an intense competition for loads. Sure, there are decent paying loads and every now and then you can snag a great load (gotten lucky a few times and got a $10+/mile loads), but with the number of trucks you are competing against nowadays a good paying load may be a thing of the past.With the blink of an eye, the load you want may appear and then disappear. There is also pressure to maintain your performance rate in order to ensure you have access to the "good loads." There is definitely money to be made with Amazon but you just have to make sure you know what you're doing. And by no means am I discouraging you to sign up with Amazon, it's very possible your experience with Amazon may be significantly better if you're outside of California where there might be less competition as there is here. Hope this helps, good luck!

[@TruckingTopicsToday]

I was in this position a few times. If it was a good load and I wanted it, even though the timing did not make sense, I accepted the load. After I was on my way with the load, I would call dispatch and let them know that there was not enough time on the load and ask for a different delivery time. The reason I did not want to call them before I picked the load was because they may have changed the rate or some other detail about the load...even perhaps canceling the load. This way, since I was already under the load, they would have to adjust the delivery time and I still get my good rate that I accepted. Make sense?
