USX - Embark Trucks and U.S. Xpress partner to prepare nationwide terminal network

Embark Trucks (NASDAQ:EMBK) announced that U.S. Xpress (NYSE:USX) has joined the Embark Partner Development Program and plans to add its terminals to the Embark Coverage Map. Embark pioneered the transfer point model in 2019 when the company unveiled its first sites in Los Angeles and Phoenix. Through this partnership, both companies will identify priority terminals based on traffic patterns, customer needs, and technical requirements. The companies will start with two terminals in Sunbelt states, creating a clear path to opening a high-volume lane for autonomous hauling. The two companies plan to co-develop an onsite operations playbook that captures standard processes for when autonomous trucks enter U.S. Xpress properties.
