Amazon Expanding

Amazon has confirmed that it now has a fleet of 5000 x 53ft domestic containers for the US market and is also now offering space on its intermodal services to third-party shippers. The company has openly pledged to compete with existing intermodal service providers on the basis of ‘cost, speed, capacity and performance.’ Although only offering a small fleet, the company is selling services based on its fulfilment centres located near US rail terminals.
