[QUOTE="theamazondude, post: 5407119, member: 101439"] yeah in the sortation center I do remember they hired private independent box truck contractors to take most of the pallets of boxes which are small and oversized. The rest they send to delivery stations for the smaller vans to deliver. But the big over size boxes private companies with box truck delivery men deliver the packages. They recently added a XL oversize warehouse specially for big boxes where most of the work is done using forklift which they banned in most other warehouses. So they are taking on the competition like home depot and lowes. amazon only uses UPS to ship out small packages and UPS charges a fee if the wrong packages are sent to the wrong destination because than UPS has to correct the issue and send it to the right location. I remember the deliver drivers of these independent contractors had to rush at 11-1pm to load there trucks so that they could deliver there items. They claimed they were paid $30 per hour yet a amazon delivery driver is paid $20 per hour. [/QUOTE]
