Werner Enterprises to Provide Roadside Assistance on TuSimple’s Autonomous Network

Werner Enterprises will provide roadside assistance services and maintenance along TuSimple’s autonomous freight network in order to support commercialization in Texas.

TuSimple’s over 11,200-mile autonomous freight network, which extends between Arizona and Florida, allows freight to be moved via SAE Level 4 autonomous trucks. The network will be expanding to include major logistic routes in its next phase of development.

Werner Enterprises' nationwide network of 24/7 support will play a fundamental role in providing nationwide support to all TuSimple vehicles in operation alongside the network, TuSimple officials said in a press release.

Carriers will have their choice of service and support providers, including their preferred dealership, aftermarket service provider, or a Werner Enterprises authorized service center.

“The integration is further evidence of TuSimple's mission to ensure that every carrier operating on the TuSimple [autonomous freight network] has the best options for its fleet to receive immediate assistance for vehicles in the event that they require expedited service,” TuSimple officials said.
