Hello hello! My name is Jacob Rayburn, I work with Encore Protection, a large commercial roadside assistance company in the trucking industry. We are currently creating an industry article on the “Future of the Trucking Industry.” The article can be reviewed here: Commercial Roadside Assistance Company | Encore Protection
We are reaching out to gain relevant industry insights and knowledge to help power up the page.
If you're interested or believe someone in your company would be, we need just a couple of sentences (3 or 4 ideally), but whatever you think is necessary to fully answer the questions is very helpful.
1. How do you see technology influencing your industry over the next 5, 10, 20 years? Do you believe roadside assistance will still be necessary?
2. Do you think autonomous or driver-less freight trucks will become a significant source of trucking? If so, what aspects of the trucking industry do you think would be most affected by this?
Any insights or feedback would be extremely helpful! Assisting with this project gives an added advantage of increased visibility for your brand and driving additional traffic to your website and social media accounts.
For specific questions or inquiries, please feel free to reach out to me at jrayburn@eversparkinteractive.com.
Thank you!

All of the emission related crap on trucks. DEF, diesel particulate filters, egr [exhaust gas recirculation] is the main reason for breakdowns and the need for roadside assistance. After tire failures that's the 2nd biggest reason for roadside calls id imagine so yes

Business is reducing costs and increasing sales , everything else is BS. The weak point in trucking is the driver. Freedom creates capitalism. Capitalism creates money. Money fixes problems. When the autonomous trucks stop moving a person will have to go out there to get it to move again. Theres your business.

You look to be a AAA type buisness, right?
To answer your question, the future of trucking will definitely be autonomous. What I foresee is autonomous trucks moving the freight from staging hub to staging hub and local drivers delivering the load locally. The staging hubs could be a combination of a full load and cross dock type facility. -
AZ Pete Thanks this.
