Amazon growing its own delivery capability at astounding rate
December 16, 2019

While Amazon’s delivery fleet is only one fifth the size of UPS and Fedex, it has grown at an impressive rate by focusing of densely-populated urban and suburban areas, whereas its competitors must make a greater percentage of much less efficient rural trips.
