Autonomous Trucking Is Here: Why Rail Cannot Be the Industry That Waited
To Our Customers, I have spent my career in this industry, and one thing has never changed: the carrier that keeps improving is the one that earns your freight. Our biggest competitor, the trucking industry, is not standing still. Driverless trucks are steadily advancing, and they are already moving real freight while testing continues. Union Pacific cannot stand still either. Our customers want faster delivery, more efficient freight, connected supply chains and clear visibility for every shipment. That is why our merger with Norfolk Southern is so important, and why this is the right time for rail to become more efficient and more competitive.

Silence Is Not Opposition
To Our Customers, There is no better way to take the pulse of the transportation industry than by meeting directly with you, the customers we serve. The perspectives we gain in those conversations go far beyond what we can learn from regulatory filings, surveys or trade press headlines. That is the exact reason I have spent more than 70% of my time on the road this year, meeting with more than 55 customers directly and mostly at their headquarters, not ours. Add in 20 conferences, association meetings and Union Pacific-hosted customer events, and that gives me an opportunity to do a lot of listening. My pace isn't slowing, because those conversations are the most reliable information we have about what this merger means for your business.
