A lawsuit has been filed against Amazon, alleging the company allowed Road Warriors Logistics to transport freight for Amazon prior to meeting Amazon's own requirement for 180 days of active operating authority. The plaintiffs claim Amazon failed to follow the carrier selection policy it had set for itself. The collision occurred on October 25, 2024, in New Mexico, where a truck driven by Harmanpreet Singh lost control, crossed the median, and collided with another commercial truck.
Singh was cited for careless driving, and Amazon's Relay technology is also part of the lawsuit, with allegations of extensive control over transportation and intervention when shipments were delayed.
