Gatik’s driverless trucks are now running real deliveries at scale Subscribe to our free newsletter today to keep up to date with the latest transportation and logistics news. Autonomous trucking is no longer just something companies are testing. It is now being used in day-to-day logistics. Gatik’s rollout of fully driverless trucks across Texas, Arkansas and Arizona shows this shift clearly. These trucks are not part of small pilots or controlled trials. They are making regular deliveries on public roads as part of active supply chains. This is a big moment for the industry. For years, companies focused on proving that autonomous trucks could work. Now the focus has changed. The question is no longer “can it work?” but “can it run a business?” Gatik’s answer appears to be yes. The company has already secured more than $600 million in contracted revenue tied to these operations. That means autonomous trucking is no longer just a technical milestone. It is becoming a commercial one. To understand why this matters, it helps to look at where these trucks are being used. Why the middle mile is the starting point for driverless trucks Most of Gatik’s operations focus on what is known as the middle mile. This is the movement of goods between warehouses, distribution centers and retail stores. This part of the supply chain is well suited to automation. Routes are shorter, more predictable and repeated often. That makes it easier for autonomous systems to operate safely and consistently. The numbers help show what this looks like in practice. Since mid-2025, Gatik has completed 60,000 fully driverless orders without incident. The company has logged more than 2,000 hours of driverless operation and driven over 10,000 miles on public roads. Some of these routes stretch up to 400 miles and connect busy logistics
