So when the current evil empire and emperor, uncle Fred sell out, that means Amazon will be the new evil empire, with Bezos as emperor? For my money no empire will be as evil as FDX. They were horrific way before 2010 boys. Think 2004, 2005, can't express how much I would like to meet some of those telephone tough guys on the street right now.That's for when fedex sells out to them. Sorry smoke I couldn't help myself!

95% (give or take) contractors pulling out of Chitcago. Used to see 50/50 up 75 in OH. One would think that’d be one of the best paying jobs. Accountability if nothing else.

Its not a Chiraqistan exclusive, They've been parking them all over the country for what looks like prep to convert to a company employee model instead of a contractor one.
But Amazon does NOT have the labor or the operating capital not to mention the expertise to operate a logistics operation 5 times their existing size.
If anything they will abandon their fulfillment business. And let a well heeled operator run it profitably.

It’s driver appreciation week. We appreciate all the extra board drivers sitting at home, it’ll save us money on food for the folks that actually get to work. #fedexheros
Saw this guy headed south on US 31. I passed him around Peru, and he stopped at the Loves in Tipton. First time I've seen one in the wild. The lettering on the bottom of the door said "Seattle Choice Transport," and had their DOT #.

So it looks like Amazon is indeed leasing these tractors.

What's that box on the back of it?
Either natural gas truck or economy sleeper lol
Is that box 96" or is it 102"? Asking for a Scranton area friend.
