The start to 2025 in freight has had its dose of uncertainty, but at Amazon Freight we’re staying steady and continuing to tap our customers into the speed and reliability of the Amazon network. Here’s everything we’ve been up to and what we have planned for the spring.

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.

At Amazon Freight, we believe in the power of people to drive innovation and excellence in customer service. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Tamika Durham, a Program Manager for Service Excellence. Her role is crucial in shaping our customer-centric approach.

As we approach the end of 2025, it’s clear that this year has been a defining period for the shipping industry. The challenges that emerged have not only tested operational resilience but also accelerated innovation and strategic thinking.

Whatever you’re trying to transport, it’s always good to have options. But those options can get confusing to understand how they fit with your transportation needs. To help, we’ll bring clarity to some of Amazon’s top transportation offerings.

Breaking into the shipping world frequently means learning on the fly. That is exactly what happened to Adam Bartell when he joined Intelligent Blends as the operations manager six years ago. He has been learning ever since, so we asked him to tell us more about his experience.

Three years ago, Hanna joined JW Fulfillment as a project manager, and she has been learning ever since. We sat down with her to hear what she’s discovered along the way and what other 3PLs and shippers can learn.

If you work in logistics at a company that sells water bottles, there’s no humor when your operations experience a “bottleneck.” Such backups send kinks throughout the supply chain. That’s what Joel McAllister of HydroJug faced on a weekly basis before they started using Amazon Freight.
