Ready to work with Amazon Transportation Services?
Working with Amazon Transportation Services will give you several different opportunities to grow your business. You can run “power only” round trips using Amazon’s trailers in our Linehaul program or bid on straight truck runs in our Straight Truck/Box Truck program. If you don’t want to commit any capacity you can also search for loads on our Relay Load Board. The choice is yours based on your performance and our need.
To better understand our operations, carriers in most cases begin working off our load board.
