In 2012, Amazon began building its own logistics network. We bought our own trailers. We hired drivers to pull them. We designed the technology we needed to plan out routes and communicate with drivers. And, we built it all to the incredibly high standards of a single customer: ourself. As our network grew, we saw an opportunity to serve even more customers. In 2019, we opened our lanes, trucks, and capacity to shippers of all sizes. We call this network Amazon Freight.
