Midwest Truck Driving School has specialized in CDL Training since 1998 and has since trained over 20,000 Students!
Aurora runs the biggest driverless truck operation in the country. They started hauling commercial freight without a driver in Texas in May 2025. By January 2026 they had passed 250,000 driverless miles. They expect more than 200 driverless trucks running by the end of this year.
The American Trucking Associations counted about 3.58 million employed truck drivers in 2024.
200 trucks vs 3.58 million drivers.
Weather is still a big obstacle. Aurora said bad weather limited its Texas driverless operations around 40 percent of the time in 2025.
That's in Texas. Now picture US-2 in February..
So when the next headline comes across your feed, ask three things:
1. Was there a person in the seat?
2. Was it a fixed route between two terminals?
3. Who took it the last mile?
The technology is real and it is growing. It also covers a sliver of the freight moving in this country, in the warmest part of it, on routes somebody mapped ahead of time.
Do your own homework on this. That includes anything we tell you. We have a stake in your answer and you should weigh that.
