The biggest operational change from autonomous trucks may happen beyond the truck itself.
Waabi COO Lior Ron points to fleet network planning as an area that will take considerable rework.
Ron asked fleets to consider what happens when driver hours-of-service limitations no longer constrain how long an autonomous asset can operate.
He said that could change how fleets plan longer lanes, assign teams, and calculate equipment utilization.
Fleets may need to reconsider how freight, assets, and capacity move through the entire network when driver time no longer sets the same operating boundary.
