Overview

• The integration lets carriers tender and accept autonomous loads, dispatch routes, track shipments in real time, and handle invoicing directly within McLeod’s TMS.
• Aurora says the design hides technical complexity so operating an autonomous tractor feels similar to managing a human-driven asset.
• Beta testing has started, with general availability planned for 2026, and Aurora will showcase the features at McLeod’s user conference on September 21–23.
• McLeod’s large customer base provides a distribution channel that Aurora expects will speed adoption, including among mid-sized fleets.
• The software addresses AV-specific operations such as terminal-to-terminal movements, first- and last-mile coordination, and cost comparisons against traditional trucking.
