How Many Packages Does Amazon Deliver?

Amazon is the biggest player in e-commerce. The company shipped an estimated 7.7 billion packages globally in 2021, as reported by the University of Washington. To handle that kind of volume, a company needs an extensive, coordinated network of manufacturers, warehouses, and vehicles, known as a supply chain. Amazon began delivering packages itself, as opposed to relying on third-party carriers, in 2014. Since that time, its logistics arm has grown to ship 22% of all packages in the U.S.

What Factors Contribute to Amazon Accidents?

Amazon offers customers speedy two-day delivery, and the American people have come to expect it. To meet the demand for fast delivery, operators of Amazon delivery trucks and vans are under intense pressure. They may speed or engage in other unsafe driving behavior due to time pressure or fatigue. Common causes of collisions involving Amazon trucks and vans include:

• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Fatigued driving
• Drug or alcohol-impaired driving
• Insufficient driver training
• Unevenly loaded cargo
• Unsafe merging

What Are Amazon’s Policies on Auto Accidents and Insurance?

Amazon has an automobile insurance program for delivery service providers, but it is fine for providers to obtain coverage elsewhere. The company works with a large network of third-party shipping and delivery service companies to make deliveries, and each vehicle must be covered by an auto policy. Amazon requires all third-party partners to carry auto insurance and denies liability for accidents caused by delivery partners whose drivers are not technically employed by the company. Amazon also offers its Flex program, which allows drivers to make deliveries using their personal vehicle. Amazon insures its Flex drivers for liability of up to $1 million for bodily injury and property damage.
