Uber and Prime just in time

[skyraider]

Looks like the shipping and packaging world is about to get a makeover. Amazon is huge world wide. Uber is instant expediting if they want to be. Lots of opportunity for all. Amazon truckstops anyone??

Uber tried and failed with its Rush delivery program, which shut down last summer. However, Amazon seems to understand the courier business a lot better than the taxi guys. Sounds like it might be a good way to pick up some extra pocket money for college kids or old retired farts sitting around clipping coupons.

I'm a little afraid of this. I've made better than $25 an hour doing courier and its a hell of a way to make a living.

Seems to be chipping away at rates. Would you rather drive a single skid across town and do nothing but open your door, or run around like a madman for 10 hours trying to hit 180 addresses?

Hope they leave us alone, and stick to home deliveries and FTL...
