Missouri Neighbor to Begin Testing <b>Driverless Trucks</b>
Missouri Neighbor to Begin Testing Driverless Trucks I am a fan of technology, but this is the type of development that frankly terrifies me. One of Missouri's neighbors has officially announced they will soon begin a test of autonomous freight. That translates into driverless trucks and, yes, there are reasons to be concerned. I first saw this shared by CDL Life this week. It's a press release from the Tennessee Department of Transportation about what they'll soon be testing. Tennessee wants to create a "Smart Freight Corridor" on I-40 between Memphis and Blue Oval City. They have chosen Cavnue, LLC in west Tennessee to help them test and develop freight trucks with no drivers. “Tennessee continues to lead the nation in building an innovative and efficient transportation network,” said Governor Bill Lee. “This pilot strengthens one of our most important freight corridors and supports continued economic development in West Tennessee. By embracing new technology, we’re ensuring our infrastructure keeps pace with the needs of Tennesseans and the industries that drive our economy." Are driverless trucks safe? I am not familiar with the company that Tennessee is working with, so I can't speak to their abilities. I'll assume they're more than capable of safely testing autonomous freight for Tennessee. However, there are many who are worried about safety and there's an interesting discussion of this on Reddit. We Chased Driverless Trucks In Texas. What We Saw Will Scare You. by u/AlotOfReading in SelfDrivingCars Those who are in favor of driverless freight argue that some human drivers have to drive long hours leading to fatigue which would not be a problem for an automated vehicle. It's a complicated issue for sure, but you should at least be aware that if you travel through west Tennessee as many in Missouri do, you might
Above the Fold: Supply Chain Logistics News (April 3, 2026)
Did you fall victim to an April Fools’ joke this year? Maybe it’s a sign of the times, but I didn’t see many jokes online, especially ones related to supply chain. Even I, who has written several April Fools’ posts over the years, skipped it this time. I did have a physical therapy appointment on April 1 (I’m still working on getting my fractured ankle back to 100%), and they had three April Fools’ riddles written on a whiteboard: - What did April Fools say when it received a gift? - Why was the frog late to work on April Fools’ Day? - Why shouldn’t you tell duck jokes on April Fools’ Day? I went 0-for-3 trying to guess the answers — but I’ve never been great at riddles. Curious what they are? I’ll share them at the end. In the meantime, here’s the supply chain and logistics news that caught my attention this week: - UK gathers more than 40 countries to press Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz (AP) - Hormuz disruption deepens global economic strain across trade, prices and finance (UN) - Fuel Surcharges Hit Small Businesses as ‘Tariffs 2.0’ (WSJ – sub. req’d) - Amazon to apply 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on fulfillment (SupplyChainDive) - Trump administration sets up to 100% tariffs on some imported drugs, with many companies exempt (CNBC) - Fact Sheet: President Donald J.

BeyondTrucks Deploys AI Agents to Customize Freight Rates - TT
[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] BeyondTrucks Deploys AI Agents to Customize Freight Rates Company Says Plain Language Approach Improves Customization Staff Reporter Key Takeaways: - BeyondTrucks launched RateAgents, AI tools that help carriers calculate freight rates using plain language instead of manual rate tables. - The first RateAgent focuses on fuel surcharges, with more agents planned for broader rate applications. - CEO Hans Galland said the approach reduces cost and customization challenges found in traditional transportation management systems. BeyondTrucks is rolling out freight rate calculation programs that can be customized using simple language, the dispatch management company announced March 31. BeyondTrucks RateAgents is a series of artificial intelligence agents that helps carriers determine freight rates without the complexities of a manual process with rate tables. The first agent released is specific to fuel surcharges but will be part of a broader portfolio aimed at simplifying freight rates, especially for large and complex carriers. “As a technology company, we are seeing the best success in AI applications when we define the business problem that carriers have more clearly,” BeyondTrucks CEO Hans Galland told Transport Topics. “There’s no standards in how carriers get paid by shippers, by customers, and you have very little standards on how drivers get paid.” Galland added that mathematical formulas that carriers traditionally deployed tended to mean using pen and paper or a graphing program to manually calculate rates for billing or for driver settlement purposes. He also pointed out transportation management systems but noted they are either too standard or too expensive to customize. “Because they’re so unique, it’s very hard to get the right rate functions in a transportation management system,” Galland said. “In the market today, only the big 40-year-old TMS providers had rate table libraries or code libraries

Liebherr sees stable growth in the 2025 business year | Global Mining Review
Its broad diversification and decentralised structure allowed Liebherr to offset falling sales in individual product segments. In the product segments of maritime cranes, aerospace and transportation systems, gear technology and automation systems, refrigerators and freezers, components and hotels, Liebherr achieved a total revenue of €5427 million. This represents a significant year-on-year increase of 14.7 %. By contrast, a downward trend was seen in the construction machine and mining sector, which includes the product segments of earthmoving, material handling technology, deep foundation machines, mining, mobile and crawler cranes, tower cranes and concrete technology. Although the deep foundation and tower crane product segments saw gains, the revenue for the sector as a whole fell by 5.5 % to €9345 million. The group’s revenue growth varied by region. Declines were registered in Asia and Oceania and in North America. In Europe, it was a tale of two halves: while business in non-EU countries slumped, Liebherr was able to increase its revenue in the European Union, buoyed in particular by positive growth in Germany. Liebherr also registered growth in Central and South America and in the Africa/Near and Middle East sales region, with South Africa and the United Arab Emirates in particular driving growth. The group achieved a net income of €272 million in 2025. Although the operating result was down compared with the previous year, the finance result was above the previous year’s figure. In the 2025 business year, the number of employees also grew further: at the end of the year, Liebherr had a total of 55 963 employees worldwide, 1235 more than in the previous year. Milestones in autonomy In the 2025 business year, the Group invested €708 million in its research and development activities. In the field of autonomy, Liebherr reached numerous milestones. At Bauma 2025, the group unveiled an
Your <b>autonomous</b> fleet has a revenue problem it can't code away
The autonomous vehicle industry has spent the last decade racing to solve one problem: replacing the human behind the wheel. Billions of dollars have gone into sensors, simulations, and AI models that can navigate city streets and interstate highways. That investment is paying off. Waymo is operating commercial robotaxi services in multiple U.S. cities. Aurora is running autonomous trucks between Dallas and Houston. Tesla, Zoox, and others are scaling fast. But here is what nobody is talking about at the industry conferences: the vehicle that can drive itself still can’t charge itself, inspect itself, clean itself, reposition itself between depots, or get itself onto a flatbed when something goes wrong. And those tasks, the physical ones that happen before and after every autonomous mile, are where fleet economics actually break. The revenue equation that governs every fleet Whether you run 50 vehicles or 50,000, the economics are the same: Revenue = Uptime x Utilization x Yield Utilization is about matching supply to demand. Yield is about pricing. Those two get plenty of attention. But the first variable, uptime, is the one that gates everything. If a robotaxi sits in a depot with a dead battery, utilization and yield are both zero. If a truck misses its pre-trip inspection window, that lane goes empty. Uptime is the physical work. It is the operator who plugs in the charger at 2 a.m., the contractor who runs a DOT-compliant inspection before a truck’s first autonomous run of the day, the recovery team that dispatches a flatbed when a steeringless Zoox vehicle throws a fault code on the side of the road. At Draiver, we call this the upstream gate. No amount of AI sophistication downstream can compensate for a vehicle that is not physically ready to operate. Autonomy doesn’t eliminate jobs. It creates
Japan Pushes Contactless Delivery Policy; Aims for 50% Usage by 2030
To address labor shortages and rising delivery demand, the Japanese government has approved the “Logistics Policy Outline,” accelerating the adoption of contactless delivery methods such as “placement delivery” and targeting a usage rate of 50% by fiscal 2030. TOKYO, JAPAN (MERXWIRE) – The Japanese government formally approved the Logistics Policy Outline, setting a goal to double the share of non-face-to-face package deliveries to 50% by fiscal 2030. The policy is part of a broader effort to tackle structural challenges in the logistics industry. The Cabinet resolution specifies the promotion of contactless delivery modes, including placement delivery, combining regulatory measures with technological innovations to enhance overall delivery efficiency and reduce pressure on human resources. As e-commerce continues to grow rapidly, Japan’s package delivery volume has surged, but the logistics sector faces chronic driver shortages and increasing delivery burdens. Government estimates indicate that without intervention, Japan’s transport capacity could face a 25% shortfall by fiscal 2030, equivalent to roughly 720 million tons. Placement delivery allows delivery personnel to leave packages at designated locations, such as home entrances, parcel lockers, parking lots, or bicycle baskets, without requiring the recipient’s signature. This approach reduces repeated delivery attempts and waiting times, and is increasingly viewed as a key solution for Japan’s logistics challenges. The Kanto Smart Living Cooperative noted that promoting non-face-to-face delivery can help improve overall logistics efficiency and ease labor shortages. They also recommend strengthening support measures, such as improving package security, increasing public trust in placement delivery, and encouraging communities to install smart parcel lockers, ensuring the policy’s long-term effectiveness. A Tokyo delivery worker said that repeated attempts due to absent recipients were common, sometimes requiring “two or three trips to the same address in one day.” Since placement delivery has been gradually adopted, he added, “delivery efficiency has improved noticeably, and
"New Force in the <b>Truck</b> Industry" Incubated by Baidu Apollo: Achieving L4 Level with Over ...
With over 200 TOPS computing power to achieve L4 level, the "new force in the truck industry" incubated by Baidu Apollo really has something special. It's hard to say where will be the first place for Robotaxi to be put into use, but it's clear where the first place for Robotruck will be - Inner Mongolia, China: We have analyzed in detail the L4 truck formation running in Ordos. Going north from Ordos, in Bayannur City, which borders Mongolia, the unmanned operation of bulk cargo transportation is also being rapidly realized. The player behind this is no stranger, an autonomous driving truck company incubated by Baidu: DeepWay. And DeepWay's technical solution to achieve L4 is like the "Leapmotor" version of L4 trucks - It also uses L4 formation, but each truck has a computing power of 256 TOPS and the autonomous driving kit costs 30,000 yuan. Combined with its leading production and delivery of new energy heavy trucks, DeepWay is speeding towards the goal of being the "first stock in L4 truck freight". Bayannur in Inner Mongolia also has L4 Inner Mongolia becoming the first place for the commercial operation of Robotruck is closely related to its unique natural conditions: the province has a well - developed network of highways and first - class roads, with excellent conditions for long - distance trunk transportation. Moreover, Inner Mongolia itself is currently the top province in China in the production of bulk commodities such as coal, rare earth, and livestock. The number of heavy trucks in the province accounts for 1/5 of the national total, more than 300,000. The scenarios and demands are perfectly suitable for the implementation of L4 truck trunk logistics. Also, Inner Mongolia borders Mongolia, another country rich in mineral resources. The Ganqimaodu Port in Bayannur is the main
