Hirschbach is showing their hand

I'm sure by now everyone has heard the news, Hirschbach buying 500 trucks from Aurora that will be fully replacing drivers and supposedly autonomous.

Famous investor and 100 year old mega billionaire Warren Buffett, who owns Mclane, has already been driving his fully autonomous trucks with no person in the cab down in Texas.

So I as a truck driver am forced to take a step back and re evaluate.

So many questions.

But you already know once they start there's no going back.

What's a young man to do in a time like this with situations such as these?

Wait for the first fatality accident. It will come. Not something I would like to see, but it’s reality.

Several companies have been experimenting with using autonomous vehicles. Most have a driver in them. There are a few that are running a lead truck, with human inside monitoring the situation, and up to 4 trucks following with no person in them.

Thing is if it was going so well, every company on the planet would be lined up with cash waving. Yet they are not.

Yep, have to agree. Wait until that first fatal accident. It's bound to happen, but Mr. Bright Idea don't think it will happen to him.

A driverless truck can’t be any worse than these people that can’t speak or read or understand English.
