How many trucks do I need to work for Amazon? There are no fleet size requirements to haul for Relay as long as you have the right types of trucks for our freight – come one, come 100. Book long-haul trips to get every semi on overnights, or sleep in and run local jobs with your single box truck.
Amazon requires the following insurance coverages for Relay trucking companies: Commercial general liability insurance: $1 million per occurrence; $2 million aggregate. Auto liability insurance: $1 million per occurrence (including trailer replacement coverage of $50,000) Cargo coverage: $100,000.
You'll also need to have commercial vehicle insurance (also referred to as 'Hire and Reward' insurance) that covers you while using your vehicle to deliver with Amazon Flex.
Amazon requires sellers to carry commercial general liability insurance, which typically covers product liability, bodily injury, and property damage claims. This means if a product sold by a seller causes harm or damage, the insurance can help cover legal fees and damages awarded.
Amazon generally reviews completed applications within three weeks. If you're approved, you can start taking Relay's online training courses and begin booking. Your company may also get access to more work as your company's performance score and tenure grows.
Once we receive your company's completed application, the application will be approved or rejected within 1-3 weeks. Delays, if any, will be due to validation of insurance information. Amazon urges you to have all data ready prior to applying and reach out to your insurance provider in the event of any delays.
Amazon Relay carriers need a valid MC number and a DOT number with interstate authority that has been active for minimum of 180 days. You can still apply even if your DOT authority hasn't been active for 180 days — we'll keep you updated on key program news while you wait to join our network.
