How do you make money on Amazon Relay?

[Truckman1000]

Hi, We recentrly registered with Amazon Relay. I was surpised of how low Amazon pay for some loads. Not only it is mostly night work but also the pay rate is rubish. Am I missing something?

I go through Platinum Freight Services, they give £500 a day even if loads are cancelled. most of the time I'm travelling really light or empty even with DD'ers. so 5 day tour £2500. pretty good and better than what containers give you.

So Amazon Relay is ok if youre heading for a backload. If yo have a look there will be some short notice loads as in the next hour or tonight etc they are paid better. for example Coventry loading tonight tip Peterborough 0800 in the morning £321. Most people pulling Amazon trailers do it through the likes of Slam Transport who pay a shift rate.. i dont know what that is, probably £450 region

By the way how many trucks amazon consider to take on board? Any minimum number of trucks?

I’m sure I’ve seen some OD’s/1-3 truck sort of firms on there recently but that may have been the Christmas rush that allowed them to get a foot in the door.

We've got one lorry and got on there OK.

St Helens to Milton Keynes. £169

We did have a good laugh at that one.

If the jobs getting you down, log into amazon relay job board and it’ll cheer you up that some other mug is actually doing these loads. How the [zb] do they get stuff moved for these prices is beyond me. Prices tend to range from £1.11 to £1.54 per mile
