*Amazon announced during a press conference on Wednesday a new program that helps third-party businesses deliver packages for the company.
Dubbed “Delivery Service Partners,” the program allows companies to run their own parcel delivery fleet with up to 40 vehicles and 100 employees and is geared specifically for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), per Business Insider.
If you have $10,000 and want to be your own boss, you can apply to start your own small business, delivering Amazon Prime packages in Amazon (AMZN) branded vans and uniforms.

Amazon will pay businesses to deliver orders that are placed on the company’s e-commerce marketplace.
Partners will be able to lease Amazon-branded delivery trucks and buy discounted fuel and insurance through the company.
The partner is vetted by Amazon, and once accepted, the entrepreneur will be in charge of recruiting and hiring drivers.
The company says the program is set up so successful delivery partners can make up to $300,000 in annual profit.
Olaoluwa Abimbola has been running his delivery service business in the Denver area as part of the beta test for the last five months. He says he’s “loving” his new business and has already hired more than 40 employees who work “fairly regular hours” and “are encouraged to take breaks.”
Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners already has 7,000 of its own trucks and 40 airplanes which, along with external delivery partners, shipped more than 5 billion Prime items last year.
