Great. Now we'll never get our packages on time

Amazon.com Inc. has a solution for a potentially crippling shortage of delivery drivers: Recruit pot smokers. 

The company is advising its delivery partners — the mom-and-pops that operate the ubiquitous blue Amazon vans — to prominently advertise that they don’t screen applicants for marijuana use, according to correspondence reviewed by Bloomberg and interviews with four business owners.

  1. Awesome idea from Bezos. Since he also has not been able to get any kind of rocket into ORBIT we can expect him to make a similar announcement for Blue Origin.
    His rockets will get higher and higher and higher, but likely still not in ORBIT.

  10. They are driving delivery trucks. They may cross state lines. How long before the DOT steps in requiring a "special" CDL for delivery drivers?

    1. I always thought if you are driving for pay , be it Class "A", "B", "C" you were required to pass the D.O.T. drug screening random tests. Even if inter or intrastate.
