What is Amazon Relay?
Amazon Relay is a self-service web portal and mobile app designed for carriers and fleet owners of all sizes to find and book available work. Amazon Relay offers a wide selection of spot work and short-term contracts for different fleet equipment types. Carriers can access thousands of loads at any time, with quick and reliable payment options. Carriers set the pace, and Amazon Relay keeps them moving.
Access loads 24/7 with the Relay Load Board
With the Relay Load Board, carriers can view and book spot work for dry vans, reefers, box trucks, and port and rail drayage, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – all without having to pick up the phone. For carriers without a trailer, Amazon offers a wide variety of power-only loads so they can save time and money by hauling Amazon trailers.
Amazon also offers Post a Truck, where carriers can share available capacity for up to two weeks in advance. Carriers set their requirements, including origin, destination and rate, and Amazon will automatically match them with loads that meet their criteria.
Secure consistent work with short-term contracts
Relay’s short-term contracts offer week-long blocks where carriers can lock in rates weeks in advance. With short-term contracts, carriers have access to power-only, one or two-day routes with a solo driver or team routes. Carriers also do not have to book additional work to get drivers back home, as short-term contracts provide roundtrips.
Bid preferred rates with Auctions
Carriers use Auctions to bid their preferred rates on trailer-required and power only contracts with transparency into the current lowest bid and auction close timing. Contracts are available to carriers that meet certain asset count requirements and have attended a short virtual training.
Unlock special discounts with Relay Rewards
Once onboarded, carriers can unlock early access to loads, as well as quicker payment options based on performance. Relay Rewards also offers special promotions on value added services on critical operating expenses including fuel, tires, maintenance, insurance, and more.
