Amazon Expands LTL Freight to Any Destination

Amazon is continuing to grow its footprint in the freight market — and this latest move puts it in more direct competition with traditional LTL carriers.
What Changed
Amazon Supply Chain Services announced on June 10 that its LTL freight service is now open to any destination — not just Amazon's own facilities. Shippers can now use Amazon's network to move freight to third-party warehouses, distribution centers, and retail partners nationwide.
• Previously, Amazon LTL was limited to deliveries within its own network; the expansion mirrors what Amazon already offered for full truckload (FTL)
• The service is now available to businesses of all sizes, for any volume, to any destination in the U.S.
• This follows last month's move to open Amazon's broader supply chain network — including 80,000+ trailers, 24,000+ intermodal containers, and 100+ aircraft — to all shippers, not just Amazon customers
Why It Matters
Amazon moved millions of pallets within its U.S. network last year. Opening that capacity to outside shippers — across LTL and now to third-party destinations — signals a serious push to compete directly in the freight market. For shippers, it's another option on the table. For the industry, it's a signal that Amazon isn't slowing down its logistics expansion.
