5 Common Truck Tire Problems and How to Fix Them

by

Ignoring changes in your ride quality doesn’t just shorten the lifespan of your tread; it actively compromises your safety on the highway and can lead to sudden, catastrophic blowouts.

Understanding the common truck tire problems and how to fix them is essential for any owner who relies on their rig to operate flawlessly under pressure.

By spotting the warning signs early, you can fix the underlying issues before they turn into an expensive roadside emergency. [Read more…] about 5 Common Truck Tire Problems and How to Fix Them

Why Semi-Truck Accident Claims Bring Unique Legal Hurdles

by

The Bronx sits at the center of some of New York City’s busiest transportation routes, with major highways carrying a constant flow of commercial traffic through densely populated neighborhoods every day.

Delivery trucks, freight carriers, and long-haul semi-trucks move through the borough at all hours, sharing crowded roads with commuters, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians.

When a collision involving a large commercial truck occurs, the aftermath is often far more serious than a standard car accident, leaving victims with severe injuries, mounting medical costs, and uncertainty about how to move forward.

Bot Auto completes driverless commercial truck delivery between Houston and Dallas

by

Autonomous trucking company Bot Auto says it has completed what it describes as the first fully humanless commercial over-the-road truckload delivery in the United States, moving freight between Houston and Dallas without a driver, in-cab observer, or remote operator controlling the vehicle.

The Houston-based company said the autonomous truck completed a 230-mile overnight route from Riggy’s Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins, south of Dallas, delivering a commercial shipment booked through logistics provider Ryan Transportation.

According to Bot Auto, the run was conducted without a safety driver onboard and without “low-latency remote human feedback”, which the company says differentiates the operation from earlier autonomous trucking demonstrations and pilot programs.

Inside Torc Robotics: How autonomous trucking is moving toward commercial reality

by

Autonomous trucking has long been viewed as one of the most commercially promising – and technically demanding – applications of artificial intelligence and robotics.

Unlike passenger robotaxis, long-haul freight routes offer more structured operating environments and clearer economic incentives, making them a key battleground in the race toward large-scale autonomy.

Among the companies working to bring self-driving trucks into commercial operation, Torc Robotics has emerged as one of the sector’s strongest players. [Read more…] about Inside Torc Robotics: How autonomous trucking is moving toward commercial reality

Interview with Volvo Autonomous Solutions: Driverless trucks are upon us

by

As the global logistics industry grapples with persistent driver shortages, rising operating costs, and increasing pressure to improve efficiency, autonomous trucking is beginning to move beyond promise and into early-stage commercial reality.

For much of the past decade, the technology has been described as “almost ready” – a phrase that has invited both optimism and skepticism.

Today, that characterization is starting to shift. Autonomous trucks are now hauling real freight on public roads, albeit within limited routes and often still under human supervision, marking a transitional phase between pilot programs and true large-scale deployment.
