Amazon's trucking contracts offer dedicated carriers work that runs for a single week up to six months. So if there's a one-way lane or roundtrip route your company loves, you may be able to book it regularly as a contract. Or you can use contracts to fill drivers' schedules during a slow season to keep revenue stable.
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.
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.
