It will happen if it works as efficiently as humans and can replace thousands of employees. But can it?
Trying to eliminate some of the hand labor and potential injuries that goes with handling that stolen motor freight. Now how that contractor gets it up those stairs and up through those snow and ice covered yards....... well that's his problem.Not hard to see that step vans will be replaced with CDL straight trucks hydraulic tail gates and two guys in every truck. Every year a contractor will be given what amounts to a block grant to operate on. If it's not enough to to go around and cover all of his bills......well, that's his problem.
Why is it so easy to see this being launched by over zealous upper management before all the bugs are worked out?
Once upon a time if you were in the right markets and demographics it was a worthwhile endeavor . Now it's beginning to look that as time goes by they will be fewer and father between as XGround's tactic's and approach toward contractors becomes ever more belligerent and heavy handed .

Hard to have a bunch of full time when the sort times are so far apart. I don't know much about the present hub but the pool of potential employees in Memphis is pretty weak from what my family tells me. They had to stop requiring high school degrees and began allowing people with certain felonies to get hired.
The answer can be found by taking a look at what happened in Tempe the other day.
You wouldn’t understand.
