A road built for sharing

A road built for sharing: Amazon Freight and CSCMP webinar December 10

You’ve likely seen one of Amazon’s 60,000+ dry van trailers on the interstate and wondered if the holidays gifts you ordered are on it. But did you know your business can use those trailers to ship its freight? With Amazon Freight, you can. Introduced in 2019, Amazon Freight is Amazon’s external transportation offering for shippers, enabling them to unlock cutting-edge network capabilities.

You can get the full details and what we can deliver for your business next week. We’ll be sharing the Amazon Freight story with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) on a new webinar, A road built for sharing: How Amazon Freight brings the power of Amazon to shippers. It takes place on Tuesday December 10th at noon central time. Register here.

You’ll hear from Matt Bosch, Amazon Freight’s Head of Enterprise Business Development, about Amazon’s journey to externalize its network, assets, and tech and put them in the hands of shippers across the U.S. That includes those 60,000+ trailers but also our 20,000+ domestic intermodal containers. He’ll be joined by CSCMP’s president and CEO, Mark Baxa.

Bosch will also shed light on some of the technical capabilities of Amazon that make its network flow safely and efficiently. You’ll learn about how Amazon uses AI to optimize its transportation processes, why smart trailers make routes smoother, and what lies along the road ahead.

Register here to reserve your spot. We hope to see you there.

One of the fastest ways to gain an edge in business is to learn from others instead of starting from scratch. That’s why we asked shippers to tell us more about their operations. In the process, we discovered the qualities that set successful shippers apart from the rest.
What separates successful freight shippers from the rest? Is it something in their DNA? Do they have the most leadership support? Maybe they make significant investments in technology? Our research found that it is something else entirely: their mindset.
From my time in startups to the past nine years at Amazon, there’s been one constant truth: Getting transportation tech right is a complex puzzle with a lot of moving parts. It’s a monumental task to take an innovation from concept to roadworthy.
