You’ll use Amazon’s dedicated Relay app to manage assignments, access delivery information, and communicate with Amazon support when needed. While the job is largely independent, you’ll coordinate with logistics teams and other drivers at hubs or delivery points.

Excellent time management, adaptability, and strong customer service skills set top performers apart. These competencies are vital for ensuring timely deliveries, compliance with safety standards, and a seamless experience for both Amazon and its partners.
