Overview

• The companies announced a strategic partnership to build what they call the industry’s first Transportation Management System tailored for autonomous Class 8 trucks.
• An API-based link lets McLeod users tender and accept autonomous loads, manage dispatch, see real-time status, and handle billing within the TMS.
• Testing of the integration has begun, McLeod targets customer availability in 2026, and Aurora will provide updates at McLeod’s Sept. 21–23 user conference.
• McLeod serves more than 1,200 customers, positioning the integration as a scalable path for fleets to access autonomous capacity.
• Aurora says the design mirrors standard fleet workflows and deliberately abstracts vehicle-level complexity so operating driverless tractors feels familiar to carriers.
