Gatik, a provider of Autonomous Transportation as a Service (ATaaS), claims it has booked $600 million in contracted revenue and daily deliveries for Fortune 50 retailers with no human driver or safety observer behind the wheel, making the autonomous tech startup the first company in North America to deploy fully driverless trucks in commercial operations at scale.

Since launching freight-only operations mid-last year and specializing in regional logistics, Gatik said it has completed 60,000 fully driverless orders without incident. A Gatik spokesperson told CCJ Tuesday that $400 million of the $600 million in contracted revenue came in the second half of 2025.

Operating in the Dallas–Fort Worth region of Texas, the Phoenix metro area in Arizona, and Northwest Arkansas, the company’s fleet of 26- and 30-foot autonomous box trucks operates nearly 24 hours a day on both highways and surface streets, moving ambient, refrigerated, and frozen goods.

"Autonomous trucking is no longer a promise. It’s a business," said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik, noting the company is preparing to expand its driverless operations to new U.S. markets. "With more than $600 million in contracted revenue, Gatik has proved that autonomous trucking is not only possible but commercially viable. Today, we are operating across multiple logistics networks and markets, serving the largest retailers in the country."

Gatik’s autonomous trucks are commercially deployed in multiple markets, including Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, Nebraska, and Ontario, Canada. To date, the company has logged more than 2,000 hours of driverless operation across multiple logistics networks, completing over 10,000 driverless miles on public roads on routes up to 400 miles connecting dense networks of distribution centers, warehouses, and retail stores.

Gatik integrates its SAE Level 4 autonomous driving system with Isuzu’s medium-duty platforms, and the companies continue to prepare for a mass-production, autonomous-ready vehicle program to support scalable autonomous logistics.
