If you’re a truck owner or operator, you might have wondered, “How much does Amazon Relay pay box truck owners?” Amazon Relay is a freight transportation management system that fleet managers, carriers, and truckers can use to increase their business in collaboration with the eCommerce giant Amazon. This article will delve into the details of Amazon Relay, its benefits, requirements, and potential earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Relay is a program designed by Amazon to meet its growing transport demands. The eCommerce giant experienced a profit surge during the Covid-19 pandemic, which increased the need for transport capacity. Amazon Relay allows trucking companies and freight brokers to tap into Amazon’s growth, expand their businesses, and increase their revenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Relay is a platform that simplifies the truck delivery process by eliminating phone calls and paperwork. Everything truck owners and drivers need is available on the Relay app. The app helps carriers have full work weeks by offering short-term contracts per load, increasing and planning their revenue on an ad hoc basis, posting the availability of an idle truck so Relay can book loads, and reviewing what loads are available so they can instantly book work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Relay has high service expectations. All carriers must ensure that they meet the highest performance and safety levels. The complete performance expectations can be accessed via the Amazon Relay Carrier Terms of Service when your application is accepted, and you are onboarded. In short, you need to comply with all Amazon Relay\u2019s insurance, Department of Transportation (DOT), and safety requirements, consistently accept loads, complete load booking, pick up, and delivery via the Amazon Relay technology, and complete each load by delivering it on-time so Amazon can fulfill their customer promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carriers use Amazon Relay to manage the loads from Amazon. This allows carriers to earn more revenue, manage their loads, pick up a load when they have an empty truck or extra space, and eliminate downtime. Carriers sign up to the Amazon Relay portal, view the Load Board onto which Amazon sellers post available loads, and then search for a load that fits their truck, current route, and other criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must meet some requirements to haul a load for Amazon Relay. These include having a valid Motor Carrier (MC) number, an active DOT or USDot number<\/a>, an FMCSA Safety Rating, and good Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASIC) scores. You must also meet specific insurance requirements, including minimum cargo coverage of $100,000, minimum Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, minimum auto liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and minimum employer liability of $100,000 per occurrence or incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon Relay works with various types of trucks and equipment. These include trailers such as Reefer, 53\u2019 Dry Van, and 28\u2019 Trailer, and tractors like Sleeper Cab, Day cab, and 26\u2019 box truck<\/a> or a straight truck with minimum internal dimensions (L x W x H) of 26\u2019 x 8\u2019 x 8\u2019 and a truck-under lift gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon Relay offers short-term trucking contracts that fill the gap between long-term contracts and spot work. These contracts can be taken now, weeks, or months into the future. Every contract has an entire week of work. Your payout is guaranteed as long as you don\u2019t cancel or reject the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmazon Relay and Equipment Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
