DHL Supply Chain is embracing autonomous trucking to boost freight capacity and streamline supply chain operations, marking a significant step in the logistics industry’s digital transformation. The company has chosen Texas as the launchpad for this initiative.
“Texas is a key state for trucking—it moves more freight than any other in the U.S. and holds strategic importance,” noted Gillespie. With an extensive warehouse network and a robust customer base in the region, DHL is well-positioned to integrate autonomous solutions into its operations.
Other logistics leaders are also targeting Texas for autonomous vehicle (AV) deployment. Ryder System and Kodiak Robots have announced plans to introduce driverless trucks in the state, underscoring Texas’s pivotal role in the evolution of autonomous freight.
