We chose to not have onroad practical training because it was a bottleneck that would keep new drivers off the road, noted a memo written by a senior manager in the logistics division just after the peak season wrapped up. In just a few years, Amazon has built a delivery system that has disrupted a decades-old business dominated by FedEx and United Parcel Service. But in its relentless drive to get bigger while keeping costs low, Amazons logistics operation has repeatedly emphasized speed and cost over safety, a new investigation by ProPublica and BuzzFeed News has found. Time after time, internal documents and interviews with company insiders show, Amazon officials have ignored or overlooked signs that the company was overloading its fast-growing delivery network while eschewing the expansive sort of training and oversight provided by a legacy carrier like UPS.

Id want to see accident rates compared to FedEx/UPS/DHL drivers because if Amazon didnt so anything illegal or grossly out of the norm then not much here other than an accident <cite>CruelBuffalo posted [p:932012095] in Amazon exe...
