@trucker63068 Not to mention they would also have to buy trucks for all those company drivers.

@BeaglTech I believe their load board makes them the broker. I’m not a lawyer, just an educated observer.

There’s been a bunch of posts about this advertisement from Amazon. Not sure it’s real, however in my opinion after the SCOTUS ruling this is the direction most large corporations will go. This will take supply out of the market and those trucks will go into the load board freight. When this happens, the rates will come down from having more capacity. Some more unintended consequences.

@trucker63068 They do have a brokerage authority, this is true. But, putting assets on the true creates more liability than brokerage (at least until an actual court case where a broker pays a nuclear verdict, has not happened yet). But they will hire from the same pool of drivers

This is still my favorite Turdwell post. He had a massive disdain for any founder that wasn’t establishment. He even called their tech innovation event “El Dorado” because the JOC under his leadership viewed tech innovation and founders as frauds. Peter was part of an old and established system that wanted to maintain power and control and was threatened by anyone and everyone that challenged the Box club.

@trucker63068 By taking on more liability? When Amazon tenders to a carrier or broker, they transfer the risk. When they become a carrier they take on risk. But, I probably don't know anything, have only purchased more than a billion in freight for a Top 5 retailer.

@BeaglTech Not sure if you understand business and or logistics. When one of the richest companies start building out a trucking network, it stands to reason they will eventually expand. Given the SCOTUS ruling it’s more likely Amazon will protect itself from liability.

@S_U_Network Yes

Did your high school have any athletes that played for the NFL, NBA or MLB?

@trucker63068 I am telling you that your logic doesn't logic

@BeaglTech Bro not sure why you are determined to argue. Nobody has the crystal ball here. Just stating a potential downside, that is very possible.

@KHerriage Its the % of cash flow that goes to servicing debt not the nominal rate that matters.

For those convinced that rising interest rates will crash equities, some perspective; During the 1995-2000 dot com melt-up the average on the 10-year was 6.1%, with spikes over 7%. Today; 4.6%.

@EdifyBurns The dragon killed a lot of people who went to battle. It was the strongest who slayed the dragon.

The hero who defeats the dragon is not the strongest, but the one who goes to battle. You can be the unlikely hero, For there are surely dragons, In the story of your life. Let's not be so silly that we forget our fairy tales. As Chesterton wrote, "Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." Dragons come in many guises. It might be a competitor, or a market dynamic, or a vice. Dragons are dangerous and they seem unconquerable. But we have St. George, and Bard, and Farmer Giles of Ham, and Sigurd, and Apollo. Dragons will only be beaten if they are fought. Whatever dragon lurking in your life. I hope you defeat him.

@Babywwir 20

7 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

@uscfan981 Old heads

Who wins?

@tomfgoodwin Apple understands this

One thing I don't get about the current impossible maths of the AI boom, is that nobody is forcing Companies do to it. From Amazon to Microsoft, to Meta to Oracle ( perhaps not Google), there's absolutely no threat to being a little slow to invest. Disruption rarely is

@supertrucker Bots are everywhere

Babe wake up a new freight copypasta has dropped.

@trucker63068 You realize that the industry adds about 25-30k new drivers a year while 60k+ permanently retire? They aren't going to magically create drivers because they are Amazon.

@BeaglTech After they build out their trucking infrastructure they will take supply from their load board. Resulting in an over capacity in the spot market. The only good thing is that this will take time.

@trucker63068 Only if they hire all brand new drivers, which you can't do unless a bunch of people decide they want to get a CDL, not the case.

In the ad they’re offering driver training, so this would be a mix of new and existing drivers. What I was referring to, if they start taking supply off their in-house board. It would result in those operators coming into the spot market flooding capacity and lowering rates. This will take time to build out so, there’s no disruption short term.

Realistically, what’s stopping someone from taking out a huge loan at like 90 years old and spending it all before they die
