I don't know how it is in the US but I always get the feeling the Amazon driver uses his own van or car to deliver the parcels. Wouldn't even think about having something like this installed in my own car.
I don't agree with such a system but if you use Amazon's van/car there is less opportunity to be against it.
- intricatedetail 6y agoIn the UK that would tip the driver over IR35 and they could have a case for employment tribunal, but in about 2 weeks changes to that are coming, and it will be legal for Amazon to do it while not being liable for employment laws.
- Closi 6y agoIn the UK at least there is a mix of the following: * Independent couriers (via a delivery app similar to Uber). * Small business owners that will have a fleet of c10 vans / drivers that contract for Amazon (via a specific Amazon programme to start up your own small van-delivery business for delivering Amazon parcels). * Amazon directly-employed van drivers. I think independent couriers are charged a cost per parcel delivered anyway, so it doesn't make sense to monitor those any more than you need to. This potentially could then apply to points 2 & 3 above depending on how far Amazon wants to go with it.
- navbaker 6y agoI actually didn’t give that any thought until your comment, but now that I think about it, I haven’t seen a single Amazon package being delivered to our section of neighborhood (east coast US) in a privately owned vehicle for maybe a year or more. It used to be fairly common, but I believe I’ve seen only grey-blue Amazon vans for quite some time now.
