  "account": "Waabi and Warrior Logistics have partnered to transport routine customer freight using Waabi's autonomous trucks between Dallas and Houston. Warrior, an asset-based carrier based in Texas, added Waabi's trucks to its network to haul recurring shipments. Since its commercial launch earlier this year, the autonomous trucks have maintained 100% on-time pickup and delivery, with zero safety incidents. The companies have not disclosed the number of Waabi trucks Warrior uses or how many loads they have hauled. Warrior, founded in 2015, operates over 200 trucks itself. The partnership allows Warrior to add capacity and improve utilization for its fleet, as customer demand grows. Scott McFarlane, Warrior's CEO, explained that customers seek more consistent capacity on key routes. The mix of autonomous trucks and professional drivers offers a solution, allowing Warrior to take on more freight while keeping drivers on preferred routes. Waabi's COO, Lior Ron, emphasized the trust in the Warrior leadership team, the innovative technology, and the co-development approach that has shaped Waabi's safety performance. Over the next year, the companies will select and develop additional lanes for Waabi's autonomous trucks across Warrior's network. This comes after Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions began hauling freight for Warp, their first customer operation together. Waabi's Dallas-Houston route has seen an 80%+ increase in commercial load volume this year, with its first revenue loads moving in September 2023. Waabi's trucks are currently not driverless, but Ron expects full driverless operation next year with Volvo as the first OEM platform.",
