BestAmazonBookerAmazon Relay load weight: Empty and pickup weight on the board
Why pickup weight matters on Amazon Relay
On a busy board, payout and miles can look similar while the freight under them is not. A near-empty trailer is a different decision from a heavy loaded haul: time, equipment, and what you can take next all change.
Without a clear weight cue in the list, you often learn that only after expanding the card. BestAmazonBooker surfaces pickup weight on the card when Relay provides it — without asking for Relay passwords and without affiliation with Amazon or Amazon Relay.
Where the weight chip appears
The weight chip sits under the trailer / equipment column on the load card. That keeps it separate from loading-type cues (Drop / Live) and from the Bobtail badge, which lives under Drop/Live when Relay types the opportunity as bobtail.
Both can show at once — for example a Bobtail badge plus an Empty weight chip — when Relay sends both signals.
What “Empty” means
When Relay reports pickup weight in grams (or a gram-like unit) and that converts to less than about 0.1 lb, BestAmazonBooker labels the chip Empty instead of showing a near-zero pound figure.
Empty is a weight signal for tiny reported pickup mass. It is not a separate Relay “empty trailer” product flag, and it is not the same as bobtail. Use it as a fast hint that the opportunity may be light or repositioning-adjacent freight — then confirm details in Relay before you Accept.
How other weights display
- Pounds — shown as lb (rounded for scanability on the card)
- Kilograms — shown as kg when Relay reports kg
- Grams above the Empty threshold — converted to lb for a readable chip
- No weight from Relay — no chip; the extension does not invent weight
How to use weight in your scan
A clearer workflow:
- Filter and highlight the loads you care about
- Glance at weight under trailer — and bobtail under Drop/Live when present
- Open only the cards that still fit your plan
- Confirm in Relay; follow Amazon Relay's terms and your carrier policies
Pair this with Post a truck when capacity is open, or keep hunting when you need a specific loaded opportunity now.
FAQ
Where does weight show?
Under the trailer / equipment column on the load card when Relay provides pickup weight.
What does Empty mean?
Reported pickup weight under about 0.1 lb (often tiny grams from Relay). A light / near-empty hint — confirm in Relay.
Is Empty the same as bobtail?
No. Bobtail is a load type badge under Drop/Live. Empty is a weight label under trailer. They can appear together.
Do I need Pro?
No for weight and Empty chips. Those are Free board helpers. Pro adds workflows like Post a truck from a load.
