Autonomous trucking isn’t just a headline anymore - it’s here. In Texas, driverless freight runs are now real-world operations, not test drives. Aurora Innovation recently launched fully autonomous hauls on the Dallas–Houston corridor, expanding to 24/7 runs and preparing for new routes like El Paso and Phoenix.

As more AV carriers roll out, brokers and 3PLs need to prepare. And that’s exactly where WaveTMS comes in.

Why It Matters for Brokers & 3PLs

Driverless trucks promise faster transit, predictable schedules, and lower costs - but they also bring new operational needs. For example:

• Lane Visibility: You need to know which lanes are AV-friendly.

• 24/7 Scheduling: Autonomous trucks don’t take breaks, so yard times must be optimized.

• Hub Handoffs: Many AV routes use transfer hubs for human-to-robot load switches.

• Service Standards: You’ll need clear ways to monitor on-time performance and SLAs.

That’s where WaveTMS ties it all together.

How WaveTMS Simplifies AV Operations

WaveTMS was built for this kind of shift. As AV lanes grow, WaveTMS helps you:

• Tag AV-friendly lanes so your team knows exactly where to tender loads.

• Automate scheduling to match 24/7 operations without extra manual work.

• Track hub handoffs so nothing falls through the cracks between carriers.

• Enforce service standards with real-time alerts and performance reports.

Instead of adding complexity, WaveTMS gives you one platform for both human-driven and autonomous loads - so you stay in control as the industry evolves.

The Future Is Already Here

Autonomous trucking is expanding fast, and brokers using WaveTMS are already ahead of the curve. With the right TMS, you can integrate AV carriers without reworking your entire operation or juggling multiple systems.
