They're Coming!
Topic 18490 | Page 1
New article on self driving trucks; very interesting as I would see it as a benefit during the long open road stretches. We currently have the self driving Uber SUV's here in Tempe, AZ. I see them quite a lot and they are pretty impressive; they stay back and away from bicyclists etc especially here near the University where it very congested.
I know it's probably a long way off but the Technology is coming.
We had a Budweiser truck make its maiden voyage here in Colorado about a month ago. Made it in stellar fashion. Lots of regular drivers weren't very excited about it. Something Cujo'ish about a 18 wheeler humming down the freeway un-attended, even if there was a fella in the cab.

No no no. You guys have the right author, but both stories are wrong. You're thinking of Maximum Overdrive.
"Driverless trucks"? Ha! Soon freight so be going airmail in heavy duty airships.
This is the front end!

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.New Reply:
