Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is set to launch a new Uber-like app that will help connect truck drivers with shippers, reports have claimed.
Expected to launch in summer 2017, the project is designed to completely disrupt the $800 billion trucking industry by completely eliminating the need for costly third-party brokers that connect small trucking businesses with shipping companies. Freight brokers typically charge a commission of around 15 percent in service fees.
That savings could have the potential to make a huge impact on the bottom lines of smaller trucking companies and independent contractors.
Could Amazon Ask Small Trucking Businesses to Deliver Packages Soon?
