Shipper tips
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.

Booking loads and moving freight can be a complex process, but getting answers shouldn’t be. We’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we get about shipping to help you make smart and informed business decisions.
Routing decisions are an important part of freight movements, affecting everything from the cost of delivering a load to when it will arrive. It might seem like the shortest distance between two points is the best option, but that isn’t always the case.

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.
