All the drivers are employees of contractors. From what I understand Amazon sets up small business people in their own delivery business that delivers exclusively for Amazon and then those business people hire their own drivers and are responsible for all their pay and benefits. Not sure how the trucks are done. Maybe the small business people lease them from Amazon? Sounds like a great plan for Amazon with little responsibility for them and a lot of burden on the small business owners all beholden to only one customer. Once I read about how it all works, there is no way I would step into that crap Edit: Apparently you do lease the trucks and according to Amazon you have to have $30k in liquid assets to apply and start delivering for them. https://logistics.amazon.com/marketing/faqApparently the drivers work so hard that the guys pull off the side of the road to pee and the gals carry a bucket and some wet wipes in the truck. https://www.forbes.com/sites/britta...delivery-driver-for-amazon/#25165c99219a

Why do the democrats want to bust this company up? No money coming in from lobbyist since Amazon doesn't have any competition I'm guessing.

Apparently the drivers work so hard that the guys pull off the side of the road to pee and the gals carry a bucket and some wet wipes in the truck.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've peed on the side of the road.

The information they sent me, if I remember correctly, said that they tried to establish territories that would generate somewhere around $4 million a year gross with a net of $300k/year. That would be a full time headache and decided it wasn’t worth it.

What part of Baldwin County did you see them?  Looks like Winter wherever it is. Looks like Somalia.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.
