Laguerre: Starting truck driver pay at carriers like UPS is around $18/hour

Evans: Amazon shifted leverage from merchandising selection to logistics fulfillment
“What it used to be was that he would decide what was on the website and then he would pay UPS and USPS to deliver it. And now he doesn't decide what's on the website, but he delivers it and he charges you for delivering. So he's kind of moved downstream.”
