Amazon says new technology in delivery vans will help sort packages on the fly and save time

What they don't say is that the drivers, who are independent contractors, will have to buy the necessary equipment and pay to have it installed. Or not. But Amazon will them cane these drivers to be faster and "more productive" based on the assumption they have this equipment. In many cases the vans are driven by employees of a contractor who owns 100 or more vans and routes. If the owner doesn't want to fork out the cost of equipping their 100 vans (give or take) Amazon doesn't care. They are still going to expect all drivers to "step it up" on the assumption they have the equipment.
