Two panels will be held during CCJ’s Spring Symposium to discuss autonomous technology in trucking, as well as E-commerce and the changing freight landscape.Attendees of this year’s CCJ Spring Symposium will have the opportunity to hear two panel discussions that cover how equipment technology can improve safety, and new opportunities available through e-commerce and the “Uberization” of freight.
The first panel, which will be held Tuesday, May 23 at 3:30 p.m., will give fleet owners and managers the chance to hear more about autonomy and how it will impact the trucking industry in the next five years. Moderated by Richard Bishop, principal of Bishop Consulting, the panel will discuss the reality of autonomy and the advantages of leveraging the technology sooner rather than later.
