J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Kodiak Robotics, and Bridgestone Americas have expanded their collaborative efforts to include additional weekly deliveries on their South Carolina to Texas route. Through J.B. Hunt's 360box program, the companies have identified opportunities to reduce empty miles by securing freight for the return trip from Dallas to Atlanta.
This collaboration integrates autonomous technology into daily operations and addresses transportation challenges. A human driver operates the final 50 miles of the route. The partnership has successfully completed over 50,000 accident-free long-haul miles and maintained a 100% on-time record for pickups and deliveries.
