6% more Customer-Owned Driverless Vehicles QoQ

Kodiak AI Autonomous Vehicles Product November 5, 2026

6% more Customer-Owned Driverless Vehicles QoQ. 44% more Hours of Paid Driverless Operations QoQ. 45% more Loads Delivered QoQ.

Q3 has felt like the moment before liftoff around here. Our highway launch is almost here. Readiness is at 99%, and we named IKEA Supply as our first long-haul partner. And we’ve certainly earned our right to launch, with over 58,000 paid driverless hours, nearly 30,000 loads delivered, and freight tonnage delivered more than doubling. We also signed a first-of-its-kind binding agreement with DTL. They’re buying 75 trucks equipped with the Kodiak Driver. Big news across the board.

Why this matters for talent

Kodiak AI reported operational growth of 6 percent more customer owned driverless vehicles, 44 percent more hours of paid driverless operation, and 45 percent more loads delivered, all quarter over quarter. Kodiak lists 66 open roles on the board. Consistent operational growth of this kind at an autonomous trucking company typically supports continued hiring in fleet operations, safety engineering, and field deployment roles.
