- Now , they are in the process of buying a French shipping company ( parcels ) http://www.retailwire.com/news-article/18785/is-amazon-preparing-to-dump-fedex-and-ups

- Amazon says that it is growing faster than any delivery company ( FedEx , UPS , XPOL , etc..) so it has to come up with its own solutions http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304788404579521522792859890

-XPO Last Mile has Amazon for one of its larger customers http://www.xpo.com/services/last-mile

WASHINGTON — Amazon has received a license from the Federal Maritime Commission to operate as a non-vessel operating common carrier of cargo from China to the United States, the latest sign of how the e-commerce giant is taking a more active role in transporting its own freight.

My wife delivers mail and the post office couldn't keep up with all the Amazon packages. She is a rural carrier and gets paid by the route, so she took a beating on her eight hour evaluation!

We get pups full, pures from xnw, I don't know about sub-service? Amazon has a distribution center in Windsor that is pretty big for us, I think before xpo. You would have to have someone ask the fac guy. He used to run the inbound.

When I first started driving ( Schneider National ) , I met a Wal-Mart driver and talked with him about his job. ( I joked and asked how does he keep his shirt sooooo white and clean? )

He told me he had a schedule were he worked a week ( over-the-road ) and was off a week and STILL got paid for the off week! I never did look into it but if true , that's the best.
