I interviewed with the Amazon group tasked with solving the delivery capacity problem.
There really is a problem.
Amazon’s trajectory simply can’t be accommodated by existing couriers (USPS included).

There is far enough capacity . Problem is they are to disorganized.
They spend hundreds of thousands just on useless bin relocation then storage because they are not needed where they have been relocated too.
They spend 100s 1000s in detention and trailer rental because there system is so screwed up.
They are hemorrhaging money trying to move their own freight.

Another story to educate you. There is enough “ Capacity”
Just not enough companies that want to get run into the ground and bankrupted by Amazons strong-arm business practices .
If you see any Prime trailers on the road none are powered by any of the top 200 carriers .

And when have you personally spoken with Amazon engineers & managers tasked with understanding & solving the capacity issue?
You haven’t?
Spare me your self confident ignorance.

[sausageseller]

You obviously have no understanding of what “capacity” means in the transportation industry.

Your self confident ignorance is so noted.

A slug is also a unit of force.

In my house it's a unit of booze.
