Trucking is a massive industry. Most trucks you see on the road aren't mom-and-pop operations. If we want to just limit the conversation to giant retail operations, Amazon pays roughly 25% less than Walmart.
- randomdata 3y agoAmazon has a completely different business model to Walmart. If a truck doesn't arrive and the shelves are left bare, you're never going to know. They'll just ship the product off to you later when they can finally get the truck there. They can easily take the amateur hour risk. Costco, which is likely the closest analog to Walmart in terms of scale and logistical requirement, pays the same.
