Let’s have anyone that wants to give their thoughts on this go for it in the comments. It is interesting. I have questions as many will, but I will share 2 of them now. Note, the company I work for has 3 trucks with the auto braking and adaptive cruise control feature. 1. When driving with cruise control on, the truck is fine when I’m in any of the 3 normal lanes with cars around me in either lane, however, when someone is in the exiting lane and gets to the curve and I am in the separate right lane, these trucks (all 3 of them) slam on the brakes hard and nobody can explain why. How are they addressing this? 2. There’s a sensor on the front bumper of these trucks that senses the vehicle in front of you for the adaptive cruise. When I drive in an active snow storm, this sensor becomes covered with gunk and snow, it disables the cruise control and I have to take over manually. What are they doing to address driving in bad weather with these? Knowing AI is coming, I’m fine with it and have implemented a lot of it inside the warehouse, but have a ton of questions about it being implemented on the road. Also, when these roll out, will they be manned or unmanned? The video shows manned, but is that just for testing? Let’s hear your opinions and questions.

Navigating markets through Strong Partnerships... In supply chain and sales, much like my time at Tennessee, there are inevitable ups and downs. The key is to remain committed and adaptable, always striving to learn and grow from each experience. Building and nurturing relationships is at the core of successful sales. The connections we make and the trust we build are what drive long-term success. Whenever I face challenges in my sales career, I think back to those years in Knoxville. They remind me that every setback is an opportunity to learn and every achievement is a result of hard work and dedication. The journey might have its peaks and valleys, but it’s always worth it. I look forward to showing you the value that Ryan Transportation can bring to your team and supply chain. How about them Vols!! #logistics #Trucking #supplychain #vols #3PL #Partnership #technology #strategy

Not normal - LTL freight carriers report retail tonnage outperformed industrial tonnage in Q3. That's extra noteworthy, because some of the nation's largest retailers are consolidating shipments and moving their goods via truckload carriers. Perhaps the early ocean-shipping peak season trickled down to the trucking firms early, as well. That makes sense. https://lnkd.in/gmaUc-ug #trucking #freight #ltl #truckload #shipping #peakseason
