I would be a happy man,if even 1 company could find a way to load and unload my truck swiftly and efficiently. I'm not holding my breath until anything changes either.


Even if with automated trucks, you could still have manually loading.

You think most of these companies are going to spend big money on automated systems?


Um, yes. Absolutely. Installing the system means they don't have to pay a driver and can run the rucks for nearly 24 hours a day.

They won't even spend money to keep their forklifts operational....but they are going to spend hundreds of thousands on an automated loader? and then upkeep and repair?


They'll spend it on automated driving. The loader will come thereafter.

Which trucking company do you think will be the first to buy those very expensive self driving trucks?

The shippers generally don't own trucks,they broker that out to trucking companies. Didn't you realize that?
