Autonomous Yard Trucks

Outrider automates truck yard operations with autonomous electric yard trucks that move trailers between docks and staging areas at distribution centers without human drivers.

About

Outrider is an autonomous yard truck company founded in 2017 in Golden, Colorado that has raised $100M to automate the trailer movement operations in the yards of distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. The company's autonomous electric yard trucks navigate facility yards using lidar, cameras, and GPS to hitch to and move trailers between dock doors, staging areas, and parking spots without a human driver. Yard operations are a significant labor bottleneck and safety concern at large distribution centers where driving conditions are challenging and accidents are common. Outrider's system integrates with warehouse management systems and dock scheduling software to optimize trailer movements in real time. The company has deployed commercial systems at Fortune 500 distribution centers and built partnerships with major trailer manufacturers. Outrider focuses exclusively on the controlled private yard environment rather than public roads, allowing faster commercial deployment than highway autonomy programs. The company differentiates from Phantom Auto and other yard automation approaches through its full-stack autonomous system that requires no remote human operators for routine moves.
