🚛 Amazon Relay Loadboard is Changing – Here’s What It Means for You!
Amazon Relay Loadboard Just Changed – Here’s What It Means for Your Business
For years, if you wanted to secure dedicated lanes and shuttle runs on Amazon Relay, you had to go through the RFP (Request for Proposal) portal. It wasn’t the easiest system to navigate, and many carriers didn’t even know it existed. But for those who did, it was a way to lock in long-term lanes at fixed rates.
However, over the last few weeks, something big has been happening. If you’ve tried accessing the RFP portal (here’s the link), you might have noticed that it has been on and off—sometimes working, sometimes not. That’s because Amazon is phasing it out. Instead, they’re moving everything to the Auctions tab on the Amazon Relay Loadboard.
What’s Changing and Why It Matters
This shift brings both good and bad news.
âś… The Good News:
- Auctions are easier to access. Many carriers weren’t familiar with the RFP process, but the Auctions tab is open to everyone on the Amazon Relay Loadboard.
- You can bid on loads directly—no more waiting for contract approvals.
⚠️ The Bad News:
- More competition. Since bidding is now open to more carriers, you’ll see more aggressive pricing as companies try to undercut each other.
- The lowest winning bid is visible to everyone, which means rates will likely drop, making it harder to secure profitable loads.
This transition will reshape how carriers operate on Amazon Relay. The question is: How do you stay ahead in this new bidding war?
