A "Nightmare Come True": Amazon Launches Freight Brokerage, Slashes Prices By 30%

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...-launches-freight-brokerage-slashes-prices-30

In what is being called a "nightmare come true" for freight brokers and carriers, Amazon did what it traditionally does every time it enters a new market, and took its own digital freight brokerage platform live while undercutting prevailing market prices by 26% to 33% in the latest deflationary race to the pricing bottom in order to grab market share, according to FreightWaves.

The company is trying to not allow trucking capacity to constrain its growth and, for now, it is coming in at price points that are far below market prices. This indicates that Amazon is not trying to realize enormous gross margins at first. The company's new portal is intended for those who want Amazon‘s rates for full truckload dry van freight in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Based on these rates, the company is essentially a "free, marginless brokerage".
Who is going to haul this cheap freight?

That’s what they are doing. Testing the waters to see
On a small scale, how desperate OO’s and truckload outfits are to keep empty miles down in those states. They are eliminating the brokers cut, and then some. Hopefully most can walk away from this plentiful cheap freight. Amazon is betting they won’t though. That’s another reason amazon will never own their own equipment, nor try to hire drivers

Did you see the other get rich quick scam Bezo’s is now offering employees? 3 months pay, and $10 grand in start up costs to current employees who want to be independent contractors. Lease your van from them.
Pay all your upkeep on the vehicle.
Pay all your own insurance. Health, and vehicle.
Peddle 200 pkgs a day.
Maybe work less than 14 hours a day.
Sounds like a great deal, if your Bezo’s.

Dave just signed a lease for 2 vans, maybe he's splitting his favorite team?

That episode in Mississippi is happening all over the country. The states need to crack down on these DMV’s as to what is going on.
