With a 134-year legacy, McLane is deeply woven into the American distribution industry,\u201d said Ossa Fisher, president at Aurora. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to enter the next chapter with McLane and transform the American food supply chain with autonomous trucks. Our collective momentum in logistics is palpable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Proven Safety and Reliability<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe companies began their supervised autonomy pilot in 2023. Since then, the Aurora Driver logged over 280,000 autonomous miles in Texas and delivered 1,400 loads for McLane, helping it serve restaurant customers across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\nBased on Aurora&#8217;s record of safely delivering goods for McLane with 100% on-time performance, McLane approved the transition to driverless operations between Dallas and Houston. Aurora plans to expand to new routes between McLane distribution centers across the U.S. Sun Belt by the end of the year, with plans to serve additional McLane business in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been thoroughly impressed with Aurora\u2019s technology, exceptional safety performance and commitment to operational excellence,\u201d said Susan Adzick, president of McLane Restaurant. \u201cAutonomous technology helps us drive greater efficiency across the supply chain, while our drivers remain focused on the critical last mile\u2014and continuing to serve as the face of our company to customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Strengthening the Supply Chain with Autonomy<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the pilot, Aurora met the demands of McLane\u2019s rigorous schedule, expanding to two round-trips daily between Dallas and Houston, seven days a week. The workflow utilizes a hybrid model: the Aurora Driver manages the long-haul \u2018middle mile,\u2019 while McLane drivers handle local deliveries to customer locations. This hybrid model with autonomous and human drivers will continue as the companies deepen their work together.<\/p>\n<p>\nAutonomous trucks moving refrigerated hauls 24\/7 offer scalable, reliable capacity that can flex with demand\u2014bringing greater efficiency to operations and helping address ongoing labor constraints. By supporting more consistent transit schedules and dependable middle-mile coverage, the Aurora Driver helps keep freight moving smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Aurora<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Faurora.tech%2F&amp;esheet=54526924&amp;newsitemid=20260506997128&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Aurora&amp;index=2&amp;md5=6262d874d7ea61372c4c4be18aa83f4a\">Aurora<\/a> (Nasdaq: AUR) is delivering the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly to make transportation safer, increasingly accessible, and more reliable and efficient than ever before.
