How Does Amazon Relay Work?Īmazon organizes its load in various methods, most of which are allocated directly to its principal collaborators through tender management. But due to the fluctuation of customer demand or unpredictability, which aren’t compatible with the fixed loads that are already set, Amazon does not directly give a specific amount of routes.Įach of the loads is listed on Amazon Relay, which is an Amazon Relay portal and is accessible to all collaborators who are signed up. There are over 175 Amazon-owned warehouses across the USA. Every order you place through are shipped via Amazon relay. So to deliver a product to your doorstep within a matter of hours, Amazon needs to keep the item within a single-day drive distance throughout the US. (and they have lots of stuff in California, and in and out of the surrounding states).Insurance requirements for amazon relay What is Amazon Relay? amazon relay contractsĪmazon Relay is a website that contains information about items that must be shipped to Amazon warehouses. Dispatchers spend a lot of time looking for loads that will be delivered to the driver of their Amazon relay. Going to Phoenix can pay me well at times, but it becomes very sketchy once there due to not being able to go into California. I am seeing quite of bit of stuff bouncing between Phoenix and Vegas, which I like. And I am sure if you have been paying attention, Amazon is rumored to be getting into this market for freight outside of of their own freight.
Most of the stuff goes to a DC, but not all of it. No idea what the commodity or weight is before you book a load, at least from what I can tell.
Plenty overnight stuff if you are into those types of loads. In my initial browsing of the load board, some of the rates are decent, some are dirt cheap. There is no pay for this as far as I am aware of, so choose loads carefully if you are using your own trailer. That drop could be 2 hours, 4 hours, one day, or multiple days. Some loads are live load (trailer required) and a drop at the end. Word of caution for anybody considering doing this with your own trailer.
Of course, I would get the interchange insurance if I was to start pulling their trailers, but I was surprised at how they just glossed right over that.
They were supposed to add your access to the load board within 24 hours, ended up taking 4 days ( just got access today).Īlso, I did not submit trailer interchange insurance with is required for pulling their trailers, but they gave me access to their trailers anyway. For as techy as they people are, they required you to type your DOT number in a chat box where the mandatory class was as proof you attended.
