    Amazon relay sucks. I have Amazon relay and they went down on load prices after December. I haven’t done any loads for them seen. They paying less than $2/mile. We have to pay for extra insurance for them but can’t give us good paying loads. Don’t recommend them!!

    Quick question: Amazon relay now has a Dot number requirement that says it must be active for 180 days. Do they use the (MCS-150 Form Date) on the safer website to determine this? Because mine is dated about 11 months ago. I'm trying to see if i reactivate it would i still have to wait the 180 days

    Tony...clarifying question from your video, I get that "Interstate Carrier" should be checked for question #22 (Company Operations) on the MCS-150; however, you mention Amazon requires "Property" and "For Hire" also. Does that mean "Private Property" and "Authorized for Hire" must both be checked on question #23 (Operation Classification) on the MCS-150? I'm questioning, because the definition of "Private Property" is "a company that transports goods it produces..." Please clarify...thanks.

    I have a question, do you know why does Amazon is getting drivers that I’ve included as ineligible? Apparently all information is correct, but when a get a load and try to assign a driver, the driver shows as “ineligible driver”.

    • @TruckingTopicsToday
      @TruckingTopicsToday  Рік тому

      I’m just taking a guess here, but if your driver has run Relay loads in the past, their could be an issue with their metrics with pickups and deliveries. Other than that, I do not know what it could be.

    Amazon suspended me cause of my BASIC SAFETY SCORE. what do you think I can do to lower this score?

    • @TruckingTopicsToday
      @TruckingTopicsToday  Рік тому

      Amazon looks at the following BASICS:
      Unsafe Driving below 60%
      HOS Compliance below 60%
      Vehicle Maintenance below 75%
      Luckily, these are disqualifications with Relay that CAN be corrected for future consideration. The two ways to get better BASIC scores is to let them drop off organically over the next 2 years, or get more good inspections with no issues to get your percentages better.

    • @rknight4285

    Amazon performance rating is ridiculous compare to the rates they offer. also their route planning lacks intelligence and knowledge of traffic congestion, weather, terrain, and truck speed. They cramp so maney stops in their contracts without leaving time for the FMCSA required breaks and HOS rules. it is not worth the high insurance they require.

My MC number shows two service dates 2020 and activated again in July 2023. DOT number shows active since 2020.

      Amazon says that they do compensate for the empty miles back to your starting location. That is perhaps left up to debate. One idea I teach my people is to get a subscription to the DAT Board for more opportunities to find a load back. You can try the DAT board out FREE for 30 days at TryDAT.net
