The surge in demand during the holiday season drives significant freight movement across Amazon’s logistics network, benefiting carriers of all sizes.

Carriers can haul various equipment configurations like power-only loads and dry van freight, with refrigerated and box truck loads supporting specific needs. Yard hostler and shuttle opportunities are also available, allowing carriers to align their capacity with the most suitable opportunities for their operations.

Amazon Relay provides complete load information upfront, including total payout, rate per mile, deadhead miles, exact pickup and drop-off addresses, and appointment windows.

Detailed load information enables sophisticated route planning, minimizing empty miles and maximizing productivity.

With increased freight volume and detailed load information, carriers can build their business during the busy season, strengthening their financial position and operational capabilities.
