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.

Shipper tips
We are heading into the peak holiday season. To help you get through it, we’ve compiled some of the top Amazon Freight shipping experts to give their guidance.
Finding the right broker can make shipping easier, but choosing the wrong one can lead to serious consequences, including higher costs, longer delivery times, and unreliable service.
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.
Freight logistics goes beyond moving goods from A to B. When your bottom line is built on successful deliveries, middle-mile efficiency and communication are essential to business operations. This is why many shippers want more than a transactional relationship with their freight provider.
For most businesses today, technology is no longer a
want. It’s a
need that drives results. This new freight-tech frontier is poised to improve the supply chain ecosystem and help shippers transport goods more efficiently, securely, and predictably.
