With Amazon steadily growing and potentially growing a great deal more quickly, a lot of 100 - 300 truck carriers are hauling it's freight.

Walmart is warning carriers that they might not be used by Walmart if they haul Amazon Freight. It's a precaution says Walmart execs to avoid Walmart's data being stored on Amazon's servers.

Walmart has added to the explanation that those carriers could switch to using Microsoft Cloud servers as an option. It could help them avoid being dropped.

hurts their monopoly NEW
by: Anonymous

Walmart will do anything and everything to control their monopoly. Amazon is a huge threat to brick and mortar stores and they'll do anything to undermine Amazon progress. Their quality and pricing has gone way downhill and they see the writing on the wall of what internet shopping is doing to their business. My advice is to not haul for them at all. Lots of truckers refuse to go to their distribution centers because they think nothing of wasting your whole day.
