Research notes
Amazon Relay accepts 16- and 26-foot box trucks with a functional tuck-under liftgate. Its current FAQ requires a DOT number with interstate authority active for at least 180 days, a valid MC number, qualifying carrier status, insurance and safety metrics. Carriers may apply earlier while waiting to meet the tenure requirement; that is not approval to haul. Confirm load availability, equipment fit and the full current onboarding requirements directly with Amazon.
