So here ill give you an example

there is no danger

Trucking is ripe for it. I do this job. My dad owns his truck. 40%+ could be done cheaper right now with minimal infrastructure investment.

I understand

im talking about his message

hes only focusing on trucking

for a reason

but its much broader than that

why could the not fly a plan with passengers in it now?

they fly drones everyday all day

and land them

90% of postals fleet, and all their contractors, Amazon, xpo, hb hunt, and Walmart fleets are ripe for it.

My dad got in on the ground floor of a startup to combat amazon funded by louis borders, to be deployed in San Fransisco and Dallas as a test

walmart no

they have to deal with people like me

i get in the way of the walmart trucks

walmart is one of my customers

it could work

Walmart is super ripe. Some sensors at the distro and at the stores with a Tesla summon style module and boom.

but the company that 3rd party ships to my warehouse from my suppler would not work with a robot, a human would have to be in the truck to make the delivery

The majority of Walmarts are 1/4 mile from a highway ramp. Deliver at 2am and it's easy.

its possible

and they are developing 100% robotic warehousing solutions interfacing with amazon level product availability, also food and grocery, delivered without 1 person touching anything aside from the driver of the delivery vehicle, in 1 hour

walmart trucks do not come at 2am

they come at 2pm

I'm talking about intercompany transfers and line hauls. The freight that beat trains.

walmart receives from private venders, like myself from 4 am to 10am

then they go on break and then their trucks come sometime between 1 and 4 pm

@nadrud yea, now. Reschedule your truck guys, or offload the truck in the morning when they show up.

they would have to reschedule hours

receivers, the people who are responsible to take in all products going into those stores work during certain times... its the most difficult part of what i do

so that is eliminating a huge amount of low skilled manual labor jobs, in favor for a relatively small amount of very high paying engineering and programming roles, to which are only available to a certain subsection of people that are mentally capable of doing this type of work

You guys are massively underestimating the cost of insuring a human health wise, and work comp, and sick time vacation, not mention the fact that a robot doesn't have to obey hours of service.

they cannot have the product sitting in the back room bc much of it is frozen or perishable and needs to be put on the shelf when they have the majority of their employees in the store that is why after 12 they normally arrive

@nadrud refers can run all night on a tank of fuel, bro.

your not considering the actual logistics of when the product arrives at its final destination

Dock space is a larger limitation

nadrud literally they have solutions for all of that, half of the van is robotically conveyor movable to reorganize stuff that needs to be kept cold in a refridgerated subarea of the truck

you work at a store?

their system is fucking insanne

no
