We’ve spent the first half of 2026 doing what we do best: shipping freight reliably and expanding what’s possible for our customers. This quarter brought a major service launch and a standout award from one of our longest-standing customers. Let’s get into it.
Amazon Freight LTL is now open to all shippers
Shippers across the country already trust Amazon Freight to move full truckloads with the reliability and visibility their operations demand. Now, that same standard extends to less-than-truckload (LTL) freight.
Amazon Freight’s LTL service is officially open for all businesses to any type of destination, bringing the network, technology, and reliability of Amazon’s supply chain to palletized shipments. Whether you’re shipping to your own warehouses, distribution centers, retail locations, or Amazon fulfillment centers, you can tap into the same logistics network that thousands of shippers already use for FTL.
Built on a fleet of 80,000+ trailers, a unified drop trailer pool shared across FTL and LTL, and real-time tracking with pallet-specific milestone events, Amazon Freight LTL is designed to bring predictability to a service that has long been anything but predictable.

Amazon Freight named Newell Brands’ Best Overall Carrier
When Newell Brands announced its 2025 Carrier Awards, Amazon Freight earned the top honor: Best Overall Carrier. It’s a recognition that caps a standout run with the consumer goods company behind brands like Sharpie, Rubbermaid, and Yankee Candle.
The journey for Amazon Freight with Newell Brands tells the story: New Carrier of the Year in 2022. Best Asset Carrier in 2023 and 2024. And now, Best Overall in 2025. Each year, Newell evaluates carriers across all modes on the value they deliver to the business. Being named the best among them all is a testament to the teams behind the scenes who show up for our customers every day.
“Being named best overall carrier means a great deal to us,” says Jim Ruiz, Director of Sales at Amazon Freight. “What stands out is the trust Newell has placed in Amazon Freight year after year, and that trust is earned by teams across operations, customer service, product, tech, and commercial and partner teams who show up for this customer daily.”
