There are clear incentives for both Amazon and the small business partners. By leveraging small businesses, Amazon can enhance the reliability of its deliveries while also reducing costs associated with last-mile logistics. Beryl Tomay, Amazon’s Vice President, highlights that partnering businesses can grow their operations and supplement their income through this program. According to Axios, Amazon is estimated to pay around $2.50 per package, resulting in an average earning of $27,000 per year for small business partners. Amazon aims to collaborate with 2,500 small business drivers by the end of 2023.
