As the General Manager of Amazon Freight, Ari Silkey oversees the Amazon Freight business that leverages the Amazon network and technology to enable external businesses to tap into them. We sat down with him to get his thoughts on his vision for the organization.

After a year of ups and downs, it at least looks like the economy is ending on a high note. Early indications show that online holiday shopping beat expectations. At Amazon Freight, we’re focusing on our customers and their freight needs.

You’ve likely seen one of Amazon’s 60K+ 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? Join our webinar to learn more.

Innovation is at the core of what we do at Amazon Freight, giving shippers access to the technology and assets that make the Amazon network flow. Our efforts were recognized by FreightWaves when they named Amazon Freight as the #3 freight tech company for 2025.

As a small business, have you grappled with shipping disruptions? If so, you’re not alone. We understand this challenge because we’re shippers ourselves and know the uncertainty of the supply chain.

The peak holiday season is likely in your sights and that means your shipping volumes are starting to climb. At Amazon Freight, we’re gearing up for the season and helping prepare our customers for the busy time. Here’s what else we’ve been up to.

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.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and that probably means your orders are picking up. When that happens, the chance for mistakes increases. With that in mind, here are the top tips to help keep your shipments moving smoothly for your customers.

For successful shippers, the little things are big things. Our research shows that Differentiators—those that optimize shipping to gain a strategic advantage—see shipping as something much more than just moving freight.

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.

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.

When you work in the world of logistics, some days are filled with chaos and uncertainty. Hanna Xu is familiar with those type of days as a project manager for JW Fulfillment. With Amazon Freight, she’s found a provider that is a sense of calm in the storm.

When people want their coffee, they usually want it now. That’s the challenge Intelligent Blends faces each week. That means their freight provider has to be on point, says Adam Bartell, their manager of operations.

Bryan Cuevas, CEO of C Group Logistics, knows the feeling of watching a trailer leave his yard. “You need confidence it’s going to get where it needs to be.”

Before turning to Amazon Freight, Calgary-based Specialty Laminates had a major barrier, and that was freight.

“Where is my trailer?” That’s the question no shipper likes to ask, but Savie Yuan found himself posing it more often than he liked.
