Amazon Takes on LTL – Can They Really Deliver?
In this ShipTalkers episode, MyCarrier’s Bobby Russell and rateHERO’s Curtis Garrett explore the possibility of Amazon entering the LTL industry - and what that could mean for the freight world.
With FedEx recently decoupling its parcel and LTL operations, speculation is growing about whether Amazon could acquire an LTL carrier to gain more control over its supply chain. The discussion focuses on FedEx as a potential target due to its size and dominance, but also highlights the major challenges Amazon would face, including network capacity, business restructuring, and regulatory hurdles.
If Amazon does step into the LTL space, it could trigger massive industry-wide changes, from increased competition to market consolidation. The conversation raises critical questions: Can Amazon make this move? Would regulators allow it? And what would it mean for carriers and shippers alike?
