Tender rejection rates are hovering around 14%. Diesel prices continue their fluctuations. And contracted capacity is becoming harder to count on. Shippers navigating today’s tightening truckload environment are turning to spot pricing and Amazon Freight is here to help.
Amazon Freight’s spot offering is built for exactly these kinds of conditions: a network of 80,000+ trailers, transparent pricing, and integrations that let shippers move from rate request to confirmed shipment without missing a beat.
“Shippers today are making decisions based on a constantly changing set of inputs,” says Ari Silkey, General Manager of Amazon Freight. “When times are uncertain and you need reliability, flexibility, and scale, that’s where Amazon Freight excels.”
Spot when you need it most
When contracted capacity falls through and a load needs to move, speed and reliability matter above all else. Amazon Freight’s spot solution gives shippers access to dependable capacity on demand, backed by our expansive network of those 80,000+ trailers.
Simplified onboarding and transparent pricing mean you can get started quickly and secure the capacity you need without long-term commitments standing in the way. Our onboarding strips away complexity to get you shipping faster. Additionally, the pricing is dynamic, giving you rates based on the most current freight industry conditions. If you’re looking to book loads individually, you can access these prices in our portal.
Seamless integration
One of the quieter frustrations in freight is the operational lift of adding a new provider. New logins, workflows, and training are a drag on time.
Amazon Freight lessens that friction. Our integration lets shippers get rates and book within their existing TMS system or via an API/EDI integration directly. From rate request to confirmed shipment, the process is fast and straightforward, fitting naturally into the workflows your team already relies on every day.
“Our spot offering is a direct response to what we’re hearing from shippers across the country,” says Silkey. “They want capacity they can count on, pricing they can trust, and a process that doesn’t slow them down.”
Intelligent spot pricing
Our spot pricing is powered by machine learning models trained on real-time signals and data. Shippers receive a complete, itemized quote with full pricing transparency before booking. Every quote reflects your specific lane, timing, and shipment needs, so you always know exactly what you’re paying before you commit.
Amazon Freight delivers the reliability and transparency you’d expect from a provider built on one of the world’s most sophisticated logistics networks. Whether you’re managing overflow volume, navigating a surge, or looking for dependable backup to your contracted capacity, we’re here to move with you.
