Amazon logistics representatives will be on site Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 22 and 23) at the Rush Truck Center outside Nashville, looking to recruit small regional Class 8 carriers interested in working with Amazon.

The so-called Amazon Fleet Recruiting Days will take place Feb. 22 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Presentations occur every 30 minutes. Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Rush says carriers interested in participating should contact Sandra Wood at [email protected] or by calling 615-220-7621. Rush Truck Center in Nashville is located at 900 Expo Drive, Smyrna, Tennessee.

There’s less retail freight moving right now, which has affected shipments between the two distribution hubs of Memphis and Columbus, Ohio. Unlike a lot of lane pairs, these two tend to move up and down in tandem, and last week they were down. If you’ve got the extra time and are looking to get some extra miles, split either leg into two with a load to Bloomington, Ill. The run from Memphis did better — at $2.03/mile on average, $2.40 from there to Columbus — than the high-volume run straight to Columbus. The trip adds more than 200 miles, not counting deadhead, but you can also boost your average rate for all loaded miles from $1.57 to $1.89/mile. This “trihaul” works in the other direction in a similar way, too.
