Waabi signs Warrior Logistics for Dallas-Houston freight. The asset-based carrier is running recurring food, beverage and consumer goods loads on Waabi Driver-powered trucks. · Wednesday, October 14, 2026 Waabi and Warrior Logistics announced a commercial partnership Wednesday to move routine customer freight on Waabi Driver-powered autonomous trucks between Dallas and Houston. Warrior, an asset-based carrier headquartered in Coppell, Texas, has added a fleet of Waabi's trucks to its network to haul recurring shipments for food and beverage, consumer goods and other customers. The companies began commercial operations earlier this year. Routes completed by the autonomous trucks since then have produced 100% on-time pickup and delivery and zero safety incidents, according to Waabi. Neither company disclosed how many Waabi trucks Warrior runs or how many loads they have hauled. The carrier, founded in 2015, runs more than 200 trucks of its own, according to the companies' release. It is using the Waabi trucks to add capacity and raise utilization across that broader fleet as customer demand grows. "Our customers want more capacity on our core lanes, and they want it to be consistent," said Scott McFarlane, CEO of Warrior Logistics. "Our partnership with Waabi gives us the flexibility to deliver that. Waabi Driver-powered trucks complement our professional drivers, build density on our power lanes, and add capacity on the routes that are less desirable for our drivers." McFarlane described a network where autonomous trucks and professional drivers run side by side. That mix lets Warrior take on more freight and keep its drivers on the lanes they want to run, he said. Why Warrior signed on. Warrior began the partnership for three reasons, McFarlane said: a leadership team it trusts, technology he called truly innovative and a co-development approach that let the carrier see firsthand how safely the Waabi Driver performs. "The results on our own freight speak for themselves," he said. "Warrior has helped shape our technology over the course of our partnership and the impact we're seeing across their operations shows how we can help carriers take on more freight, serve more customers and grow their business," said Lior Ron, COO of Waabi. Over the coming year, the two companies will jointly pick and develop the next lanes for the autonomous trucks across Warrior's network. Waabi's Dallas-Houston business. The Warrior deal comes nine days after Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions began hauling freight for Warp, their first customer operation together. Volvo VNL Autonomous trucks running the Waabi Driver move Warp freight directly to third-party facilities on the same corridor, with an observer in the driver's seat. Commercial load volume on Waabi's Dallas-Houston route has grown more than 80% this year, the company said. It did not give a baseline. Its first revenue loads on Interstate 45 between Dallas and Houston moved in September 2023, the week it announced a 10-year deal with Uber Freight. In July, Waabi said its software, trained only on a Peterbilt 579, drove a Volvo VNL Autonomous truck with no new data or fine-tuning. Waabi's trucks are not yet driverless. Ron told FreightWaves in January the company will remove the driver only once the truck and its fully redundant platform are ready from the manufacturer. This month, he said Waabi is "fully on track for driverless next year, with Volvo as the first OEM platform." Upcoming FreightWaves Events Compliance Brokerage Compliance Symposium The day before F3.

Volvo and Waabi kick off customer operations in Texas, starting with Warp(TM). Integration of the Volvo VNL Autonomous powered by the Waabi Driver into Warp's network unlocks autonomy for LTL freight segment. Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) and Waabi today announced the start of autonomous operation for Warp in Texas, the first customer operation in the Volvo-Waabi partnership. The Volvo VNL Autonomous powered by the Waabi Driver is now transporting freight directly to third-party facilities along the Dallas-Houston corridor. These operations will enable Warp, an open-source freight network that provides less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) freight services for carriers and shippers, to transport its customers' goods autonomously along the corridor. The start of customer operations between V.A.S. and Waabi marks a milestone in the two companies' partnership. Integrating V.A.S.' autonomous transport ecosystem Autona / freight into Warp's freight network creates opportunities to optimize freight flows and support more efficient movement of goods as demand grows. Autona / freight brings together the Volvo VNL Autonomous, Waabi's autonomous driving technology, fleet and transport management, terminals and customer endpoints, operations, and uptime support to deliver a complete transport solution designed to scale. The Volvo VNL Autonomous is built from the ground up for autonomy with redundancies for six safety-critical systems and specifically designed to integrate autonomous driving systems from partners such as Waabi. Currently autonomous hauls are run with an observer in the driver's seat. "Together with Warp and Waabi, we are bringing autonomous freight into customer operations in one of logistics' most demanding segments. This shows how quickly our ecosystem can adapt to new customers and more complex operations. What we learn on the Dallas-Houston corridor will help us strengthen our partnership and continuously improve the ecosystem as we scale," said Nils Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions. "Waabi and Volvo Autonomous Solutions are building toward a future where autonomous trucks integrate seamlessly into the networks that move freight every day," said Lior Ron, COO of Waabi. "Our work with Warp is the first milestone on that path, demonstrating that the Volvo VNL Autonomous, powered by the Waabi Driver, can take on the full range of real-world freight, from operating within less-than-truckload networks to moving goods directly to third-party facilities, meeting customers where they are. We're incredibly excited about what's ahead as we continue building that future together with Volvo." With customer operations underway, V.A.S. and Waabi will use real-world experience from the Dallas-Houston lane to prepare for additional routes and support the broader scaling of autonomous freight in the coming years. Unlocking autonomy for one of freight's most operationally complex segments LTL shipping requires dynamic networks to consolidate, haul, and distribute goods from multiple customers on tightly coordinated schedules. By moving freight directly between facilities, without handoffs, the Volvo VNL Autonomous powered by the Waabi Driver gives LTL providers like Warp a more predictable way to keep their networks on schedule. "Working with Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Waabi demonstrates what Warp's network was built for: bringing advanced technology into the everyday movement of freight," said Daniel Sokolovsky, CEO of Warp. "The value of autonomy grows when you can coordinate the freight around it. Warp brings together shipments from multiple customers and aligns routes, capacity, and timing, so advances on a single lane can benefit the broader network."
