The routes for that UPS unit typically run between an airport and a UPS facility. TuSimple said it shares the data from its operations with UPS, which also owns a stake in the self-driving truck technology company. According to the American Transportation Research Institute, fuel makes up 24% of the cost per mile for heavy-duty trucks, the largest item after driver wages and benefits, which make up 42% of costs.
