Trucks idling in lines to check in at distribution centers due to inefficient yard operations have no place in the “yard of the future,” Andrew Smith, CEO and founder of Outrider, told FreightWaves.
In this future yard, electric trucks autonomously and efficiently reshuffle and move trailers from one place to another.
A customer 3,000 miles away from the distribution center can enter information on a website to direct an autonomous truck to move trailer No. 8 in parking spot No. 32 to trailer bay No. 5.
