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.
For us at Amazon Freight, transportation technology doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t deliver for customers. FreightWaves recognized that dedication this week when it named Amazon Freight to number six on their FreightTech 25 list.
At Amazon Freight, we’re getting ready for the peak holiday season and helping our customers plan ahead. Here’s what else we’ve been up to these past few months.

We’re more than halfway through 2025 and it’s been a year of uncertainty. What is for certain? The next few weeks will have a lot of shipping demand with Amazon Prime Day set for July 8-11.

Shipper tips
One of the first decisions shippers face when booking a load is whether to schedule a less-than-truckload—LTL—shipment or a full-truckload, known as FTL. Both play an important role in the movement of goods, but there are distinct differences between the two.
When you have freight that is too big for small parcels but won’t fill a 53-foot trailer, less-than-truckload shipping can be the best option to move your goods. But what is LTL exactly?
Small business shippers are calling for clear and transparent pricing from their freight providers. It’s no surprise: for these shippers, unexpected freight costs can add up and hamper plans. But what does “transparency” mean to them?
Middle mile freight providers don’t reach the end customer but they still play an important role in delivering experiences that boost confidence in your brand. Therefore, selecting the right freight provider is more than a logistics decision.
Most goods moved via truck in the U.S. travel in dry vans, making them the most popular freight shipping equipment – and for good reason.
New Year’s resolutions aren’t just for promising to hit the gym. Businesses can use the start of a new year to set improvement goals, too. Now is the perfect time to reflect on the past and see where you’d like to improve.
Customer stories

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.
