Is this the future of the company? Will I lose my driving job in 10-15 years to a drone or self driving truck?

No, Yes, and Maybe


Here we go with all the old farts saying drivers can never be replaced!

They only deliver smalls. You will still have your job. Worst case they will stop hiring as much drivers.

Drivers will sit in the jump seat while a computer drives.

Would be nice if they stopped hiring drivers, made the robots do more work than humans so we have lighter loads. Lol Once all drivers retire, then it's all robots

Yes, if I was you I'd quit now and cut your losses

I swear people in corporate really have no clue what it takes to do this job

I never understood the disconnect between corporate and drivers

We're testing a pellet gun mod to help "motivate" those drivers dragging ass. Coming Q3 2017

Don't need no pellet gun , you only need realistic dispatches

And treat people like humans instead of numbers

I'm pretty sure if we could put a man on the moon almost 40 years ago with a space shuttle that was about as advanced as a modern day calculated. And how we have people looking to colonize mars in ten years. I'm sure engineers can figure out how to get a package on someone's porch....

I'm an old fart. I've always said EVERYONE can be replaced.

Its usually the young runners and gunners who think they can't be replaced.

Glad to hear it! most on this forum get out their pitch forks at the mention of drones taking jobs from teamsters

What we need is to replace management.

Also apparently Hillary Clinton cannot be replaced

You're out of your mind if you think we are going to get man to mars in 10 years
