To help keep the goods moving and the wheels turning, the company is turning to self-driving, zero-emission yard trucks at customer sites as part of a new pilot with AI startup Outrider.
Under a new five-year commercial agreement, YMX will operate the autonomous Outrider System on its fleet of all-electric Orange EV yard dogs in large enterprise customer yards starting this year.
The updated, self-driving Class 8 heavy trucks promise to deliver safer, more productive supply chain operations to both the 3PL and its customers.
“Outrider’s self-driving yard trucks are a strategic addition to our Autonomous Yard Operating System, expanding how we use technology to execute yard operations and create value for our customers,” explains Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics.
The YMX and Outrider partnership gives enterprise shippers a simple path to deploy and scale physical AI across their yard operations.”
