SELF-DRIVING Trucks Are HERE: Venti CEO Reveals US Fleet Operations

Venti’s CEO Heidi Wyle shares how their autonomous truck fleets are already running 24/7 in US intermodal yards. These self-driving solutions are recreating supply chain logistics, exceeding human productivity in controlled environments. Is this the future of freight movement?

Venti Technologies is not waiting for over-the-road autonomy to arrive. The MIT-founded software company told FreightWaves that approximately 60 large container trucks are running fully autonomous, 24/7 operations in intermodal yards across California and Texas — right now — with a clean safety record and productivity that exceeds human benchmarks.

The milestone matters to carriers, shippers, and rail operators because it represents one of the first documented, full-scale autonomous yard deployments in the United States, occurring in live production environments rather than controlled pilots. Venti founder and CEO Heidi Wyle said the company has existing agreements with several Class I railroads and is in discussions with the remainder of the industry.

“We are running, every day, 24/7, in full production operations, exceeding human productivity,” Wyle said. She added that significant rail-yard volume across the railroad sector is on track to materialize “in 2 years” as the technology scales.
