Summary · why it matters

Amazon said more than 1,000 carriers gathered in Las Vegas from Sept. 9-11 for RelayCon 2026, double last year's attendance of over 600 transportation professionals and up from more than 500 Relay carriers at the 2024 edition. Amazon expects to move more than 4 million loads through the holidays, with weekly volume reaching 300,000 by December, about 11% more freight than last year. The company said Relay Assistant now resolves common over-the-road issues on the spot, including trailer availability, site closures and basic trip information, and that performance disputes are being resolved 20% faster, with Post A Truck order repeats coming by the end of this year. Amazon expanded its Deals & Discounts program, removing enrollment barriers on the Comdata fuel card program where carriers average about 10% savings, with discounts up to 66 cents a gallon at Petro and 40 cents at Love's, maintenance savings targeted at 15% with Red Classic added as a vendor, and a three-year Ryder leasing option with a 10% discount joining the existing 40% rental discount plus a $10,000 discount on used trucks. Safety rewards expanded with free dash cams for eligible carriers and 2 to 5 cents extra per collision-free mile, up to $14,000 a year, while Amazon Supply Chain Services opened the Relay network to shippers of all sizes and industries, extended contract offers beyond the previous six-month maximum, and grew intermodal, reefer, hostler and less-than-truckload options.
