Aurora, the leader in self-driving trucks, and McLeod Software, a premier provider of transportation management solutions (TMS), announced a strategic partnership to develop the industry’s first TMS integration designed specifically for autonomous trucks. This collaboration will provide carriers with a seamless way to integrate Aurora’s autonomous technology into their existing operations, laying the groundwork for widespread adoption of self-driving freight.
Driving the Future of Freight with Seamless Integration
Self-driving trucks promise to move goods more safely, efficiently, and continuously, helping carriers boost asset utilization and increase revenue. But for autonomous technology to scale, it must integrate smoothly with the platforms carriers already use to manage scheduling, dispatch, billing, and visibility.
That’s where McLeod Software comes in. As the preferred TMS provider for more than 1,200 customers, McLeod’s robust platform is already trusted across the industry. By directly connecting Aurora’s autonomous driving technology via API integration, McLeod customers will soon be able to tender loads, track autonomous shipments in real time, and manage operations without additional complexity.

Enabling Faster Customer Adoption
The new integration will empower joint customers to use their McLeod TMS for critical functions—**from load tendering and acceptance to dispatch and visibility—**making it easier than ever to onboard and scale autonomous trucking within their businesses. At the same time, Aurora gains access to McLeod’s extensive customer base, helping accelerate industry adoption of driverless freight solutions.
“Our partnership with McLeod marks a key next step in delivering a premium, customer-centric product and service,” said Ossa Fisher, President at Aurora. “By meeting customers where they are within their existing TMS, we’re making it easy for them to tap into the safety and efficiency benefits of autonomous trucks.”
“Integrating Aurora’s autonomous capabilities into our TMS platform provides our customers with a pathway to adopt Autonomous Tractors within their operations,” said Tom McLeod, Founder and CEO of McLeod Software. “This collaboration underscores our dedication to providing cutting-edge technology for our customers, empowering them to optimize their operations and embrace innovation with confidence.”
