Amazon Freight
Amazon's truckload brokerage — booking the same carrier network that moves Amazon's own trailers, for anyone's FTL and LTL loads, priced by algorithm and bookable in minutes.
Amazon Freight sells external shippers access to the middle-mile network: full truckload (and expanding LTL) capacity across Amazon's contracted carrier base, quoted instantly, booked self-service. It is a lane-level competitor to digital brokers (Convoy's ghost, Uber Freight) with Amazon's density as the price engine.
For sellers it fits the domestic legs FBA workflows do not cover: warehouse-to-warehouse moves, 3PL-to-AWD transfers, retail distribution alongside your marketplace business. Rates shine on lanes Amazon runs dense; quote it against your broker on every recurring lane and let the numbers pick.
The numbers
- Scope: FTL (and LTL) brokerage on Amazon's carrier network, open to external shippers, instant quoting.
- Fits: domestic warehouse moves, 3PL↔AWD transfers, retail distribution lanes; strongest where Amazon's density runs.
