Tony can I let another trucking company use my load board for Amazon. If I have them set as administrator and drivers on my Amazon load board. And as long as they give me a certificate of insurance naming my trucking company as certificate holder with Amazon ins. Requirements?
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.
Nothing has changed They still call you if you stop, and people still are not doing inspections on the trailers. And have been to the TA three times this week
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.
Go to Relay.Amazon.com to see what the requirements are. If you have more specific questions, you can contact me directly at tony@truckingTopicsToday.com.
How should I load my trailer. I'm new and we pick up reefer products. Some time we have 18 pallets. So what should be the proper way to load my trailer. Reply if you have any information on that. Thank you
@@TruckingTopicsToday I've been doing my research on trucking business for the past two years I have a business model I want to try tell me if you think it can work buy my truck lease it on to a carrier run Amazon power only from Vegas to California and hire One driver
I'm not going to be driving me and my future wife we are thinking about maybe buying a semi and put our truck on for Menards or a company that we would have good money we need some advice
You can email me at tony@truckingtopicstoday.com for some advice. If you think you need more than 10-15 minutes, please go to TonyTime.co to schedule time on my calendar. Be safe…
If it happens at an Amazon facility, they will call a repair truck to correct the issue. I have had this happen twice. The process is very quick, and in my case I was rolling within 45 minutes both times. If it happens on the road, your first choice is TA as they have a contract with them. They may have contracts with others (I’m sure they do), but I definitely know about TA. Notify dispatch of your situation, and they will direct you. Of course any issues with the trailer are not your obligation, unless you caused damage.
Thanks for the response quickly I'm doing my first load from Vegas to salt lake tomorrow what about the blinkers and stuff A service truck will come out for that too?
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
They will still want you to have Trailer Replacement coverage because you are a semi operation, and will have the ability to haul Amazon trailers. Even if you don’t plan on hauling their trailers, they will still require you to have Trailer Replacement up to $50,000.
Amazon takes care of all repairs. If you notice an issue before you leave the facility, they will call a service truck. If out on the road, you will more than likely take the trailer to a TA and have the repairs done using their national account for payment.
@@TruckingTopicsToday Thank you for the information, I've been thinking about getting my own. And doing the power only I've been doing power only for about 8 years been driving for about 30. Who covers the cargo insurance when you do power only is that on the driver or does Amazon cover that as well? Thank you for your videos very informational much appreciated
Great advice man. Been trucking for 25 yrs doing heavy haul and I'm looking for something more dedicated. I never wanted to get back into dry van but I see they need guys out of Jacksonville and though I live in Port Saint Lucie, I still find this Amazon work interesting. I liked and subscribed and hope to see more videos from you brother. Thanks and take care!
Did you ever go and do the Amazon stuff brother? I Am wanting to become an O/O and see that Amazon is dedicated lanes, I live near Jacksonville as well
@@weepweep2225 Na man. I found a rgn heavy haul job for now. Just waiting for my truck to be done with an overhaul, then I'm jumping back in my stepdeck as o/o again.
@@weepweep2225 take my advice... the road sucks! otr is the worse thing you can do. It will keep you away from too many precious family times and next thing you know, you're an old dummy like me that missed out on life. Find something local. Not regional, not otr... just local with solid benefits. You'll retire better with a happier life. I've done it all and have had drivers working for me and the whole 9 yards. Avoid Landstar at all costs and just find a local gig.
Is it worth pulling for Amazon instead of looking for direct lanes? Haven’t gotten my truck just yet. Will be in a few months. Just trying to see which way to go. Thanks
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.
Could you break down fuel surcharge in your next video? Are you able to include a fuel surcharge to what Amazon pays? It's it included in the relay price? Thank you
Amazon does pay FSC, and it is included in the rate noted on the Relay board. I do not know how they determine FSC, but if you hover over the load rate, a pop up shows how much of the rate is FSC. Thank you for the question.
I see that Amazon requires o/o to have workers comp while applying to pull. I can see having it to pull for them but, to apply? What if you decide not to pull for them? Then you bought it and didn't need it. Thanks.
Hey I enjoyed your video very informative thank you very much can you please do it update because I know a lot is changed also can you enlighten us on convoy and CS Robinson and dartboard maybe do a video on those or something I’m looking more into OTR long distance loads thank you
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?
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.
You mentioned renting trailers but what about renting a tractor to use from places like Ryder? I’m just looking into this and not sure if I’d want to put up such a big investment for my own tractor.
How does Amazon expect a solo driver load to leave moreno valley CA at 21:00 and be in Thornton CO.the next day by 19:15 about 1007 miles, and the driver has to take a 10 hour break?
Amazon does this a lot. If it was a good load, I always accepted the load, picked it up...and then called the ROC to report the issue and get a new delivery time.
We just signed up with Amazon and I am confused about the required trailers and provided trailer. We don't currently have a trailer so when we look under trailer type and we have two options Provided and Required does the provided trailer mean that Amazon will provide the trailer or does it mean we are saying that we provided the trailer???? Thanks for all of your videos they are very helpful
In my opinion the 53 will also be the best option.. more room, more options, more money. Look for reefer trailer that doesn't have the unit hanging from the ceiling unit.. Just my opinion..
Hi Tony thank you for what you doing l want to ask you something l want to ask you should l go a head and get my mc # insurance and everything l need to work with amazon and how much they pay per mile please let me know thank you

Hi Eddie. So hard to answer this question. My safe answer is that Amazon should be one of several tools in your pocket that you can call on. I made a great living pulling mostly Amazon and Convoy, power only.

Right on, brother. I always say that Amazon is a good backup...but not a good thing to do as your only choice.
About how much can you make month pulling your own trailer?
That explains why I see a lot of their trucks blown over by the wind in Wyoming. lol
What does provided means on rely loadboard? Does it mean i should have my own trailer?
That means the trailer is provided for you. No need for you to have your own trailer for that load.

Really
Bro, is that real? Why take that cheap rate 1.20 if you can find on loadboard for 2.20. Is there any trick or catch? thanks
How do you drop your own trailer or who do you notify that you are going to drop your trailer at Amazon?

Can you use hotshot truck ?
Question please: how does this insurance work if I use Amazon’s trailer?
Who does what ?
You will need to have non-owned trailer coverage on your policy in the amount of $50,000.
Just curious what’s the avg pay for power only Amazon relays?

Great information, but can you share the information on the SBA program
Mister tony hello, can you help me set with Amazon Relay?
Yes. Please send me your DOT# and a copy of your COI to Tony@truckingtopicstoday.com
When they said trailer provided
It means Amazon provides trailer
Or bring your own
Amazon provided.
What kind of insurance do they require if your using your own trailer???
They will still want you to have Trailer Replacement coverage because you are a semi operation, and will have the ability to haul Amazon trailers. Even if you don’t plan on hauling their trailers, they will still require you to have Trailer Replacement up to $50,000.

What is the difference in pay
Between using your own trailer or not?
Not much. In fact, the only benefit to me was flexibility in case there were no acceptable power only loads.

@@TruckingTopicsToday ok. Thank you.
Does Amazon say how much each run pay?
Every load has a rate associated and noted with it.
You mentioned renting trailers but what about renting a tractor to use from places like Ryder? I’m just looking into this and not sure if I’d want to put up such a big investment for my own tractor.
Using a rental is allowed. You just have to work out the insurance issue between your carrier and Ryder. Several owners use this option.
What's supposed to mean power only loads?
You provide the truck, Amazon provides the trailer.
Do we need to have pur own authority to contract with Amazon?
Good morning, How did your insurance premium change when going from power only to adding your personal trailer?

Could you please tell us how much a power only load pays? And how much you take home weekly? An average
That varies from region to region, and very hard to answer.
How are their freight rates I've seen some articles that said they are garbage
It just depends on the demand you know. Last few months have been good but this is also a very high demand.
It really depends on where you are. In Southern California, the rates seem to be pretty decent.
Hi. Will it be hard getting my drivers home every day or every other day with AMAZON
Hello !! Does amazon has special requirement for the trailers like above some year, some brand or how does that work ? Apreciated your answer:)

Take loads with ‘provided’ trailer. That means that Amazon provides the trailer to you.
