Just for shits and giggles I signed up for relay. Now I'm out west so maybe in the east it's different BUT You cannot sustain a business on $1.40 to $1.65 a mile freight Totally not worth my time More on reddit.com

Same problem here tried several calls the call backs, emails and support tickets still no answers on how to fix this 🤬😢 More on reddit.com

First off, if you're going to be driving Amazon loads on the reg, I HIGHLY recommend you join one of the many Facebook pages dedicated to Amazon Relay drivers. Don't get me wrong, if you're not the one owning the truck/company, most of what they talk about in those places won't affect you, but there is still a lot of helpful info in there for you. Next, during a 13 block for Amazon, you could to the entire time with no "break". FMCSA regs don't require you to have any period of not working during your day, they just require you to be not driving for a minimum of 30 minutes after your first 8 hours. Amazon takes advantage of this sometimes, and schedules you to do a bunch of small trips where one or two of them they expect you to be in their yard for about 45 minutes because of waiting time at the guard shack or just moving slowly to get to your drop/pick. At the same time, you might go 2-3 hours during your block waiting for a trailer. If your trailer isn't ready when you show up to the facility, they will send you to a bobtail waiting lot, and your app will update when it's time to grab your trailer. I've had days where more than 7 hours of my 13 is spent waiting in these lots. So it really depends on the day, shift, and overall conditions. Last week, I had five 13 hour blocks. On two of them, I went from MSP to DSM and back. 480 miles round trip. I drove straight through to DSM, dropped my empty trailer, and waited ~two hours for my loaded, and then headed back to MSP. For the other three, I just did a bunch of in market moves. For example, Tuesday: MSP1>DMS2>MSP9>DMS6>MSP1>SMN1>MSP1. 191 miles in total. For pretty much that entire day, I didn't get any "break". I was either dealing with the guard shack, dropping my trailer, waiting for others who were dropping their trailer, connecting to a new trailer, or just driving between facilities. With that said, I also got done about 5 hours earlier than expected. So it all depends. If you're on a route for Amazon and need a break before continuing to drive due to HOS, just report a delay in the app and select HOS break for the reason. More on reddit.com

I work at ROC. Sometimes a load will be created with the times made for team drivers but it’ll be sent to the load board as a single driver VRID. If you book a load like this request a call back and have them update the ETA as an Amazon Scheduling error. Even then you may need to file a performance dispute, which takes forever.
