The story seems to confirm speculation that Amazon sees establishing its own global logistics division as a key enabler of long-term growth. Amazon declined to comment directly on the Business Insider story, but did point to a recent video posted online by Dave Clark, the company\u2019s senior vice president of operations, which showcases Kenworth and Freightliner tractor-trailers pulling up to a modern jet cargo plane. (The Business Insider story incorrectly identifies one of the tractors as a Volvo.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The story reports that the Amazon fleet is comprised of Kenworth and Volvo day cab tractors. A spy photo, used in the story and taken by Brad Phipps, shows a lot of Amazon-branded Kenworth day cabs apparently waiting to be assigned to Amazon freight depots. Kenworth declined to comment on the Business Insider story, while Volvo simply confirmed that Amazon \u201cis a customer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For now, there is still no official comment from Amazon concerning its intentions to enter the regional- or long-haul trucking markets \u2013 nor any indication as to the size or scope of any logistics operations it is planning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, the evidence at hand paints a picture of a retail giant actively working to place some, or even a high percentage of its global parcel shipments under its own control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">FLEET MANAGEMENT AUDIT<\/h3>\n<p>Fleet management is the use of a set of vehicles in order to provide services to a third-party, or to perform a task for our organization, in the most efficient and productive manner with a determined level of service and cost.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet management activities are shown in the following graph 1:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1106 size-full\" title=\"fleet management activities\" src=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en.jpg\" alt=\"fleet management activities\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Graph 1: fleet management activities<\/p>\n<p>The proposal audit analyses and assesses all fleet management activities shown in the graph 1, and its main goals are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the overall status of the fleet management activities<\/li>\n<li>Provide the analysis, the assessment, the advice, the suggestions and the actions to take in order to cut costs and increase the efficiency and efficacy of the fleet management\u00a0 activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the information obtained, we\u2019ll elaborate a report that holds the overall status of the fleet management as well as the suggestions, recommendations and the measures to take in order to cut costs and optimize the fleet management activities.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE PROPOSED FLEET MANAGEMENT AUDIT:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Fleet-Management-Audit-AFMC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Fleet Management Audit AFMC<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Contact:<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Miguel Fern\u00e1ndez G\u00f3mez<\/p>\n<p>34 678254874<\/p>\n<p>info@advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1680\" src=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/JMF-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"JMF\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/JMF-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/JMF-350x350.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>I\u00b4m\u00a0a Fleet Management expert, and the manager of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Advanced Fleet Management Consulting<\/a><\/strong>, that provides Fleet Management Consultancy Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report: Amazon Purchasing Class 8 Day Cab Tractors A report in Business Insider seems to confirm speculation that Amazon is currently building up its long- and regional-haul capabilities in preparation for launching a proprietary logistics division in the near future.
