Anyone involved in transportation knows all too well that disruptions are a part of life. When they happen, the top priority is to find the safest, fastest way to keep freight moving. At Amazon, the Relay Operations Center serves as the main point of contact for drivers experiencing delays.

Dry van trailers have always been called “the most important box in shipping,” but at Amazon they’re more than a crate on wheels. Amazon has sensors and other tech in its trailers to make the network run safer and more efficiently – and that means a more reliable service.

The new frontier for freight-tech is, unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence. At Amazon Freight, we’re leveraging the latest tech to make our network safer and more efficient.

One place Amazon is deploying tech is in its truck yards. These are where trailers come and go, and they are filled with constant movements.
