The Year AI Got Real for Trucking: Top 10 Trends, Misses, and What Comes Next

December 16, 2025

---

2025 marked a turning point for AI across the trucking industry. What had been theoretical for years finally became part of everyday conversations in operations, safety, maintenance, and customer service. Fleets experimented with new tools, vendors pushed innovation faster than ever, and the industry as a whole started sorting out where AI could create real value versus where expectations still needed time to catch up. In this live fireside session, Mark Hill CEO and Jason Douglass, VP of Community Engagement at PCS Software break down 2025's Top AI Trends in Trucking: the breakthroughs, the misses, and the shifts every fleet leader should be paying attention to heading into 2026. They'll pull from real conversations with carriers, real-world adoption patterns across the industry, and the pressure points every ops team is feeling right now: tighter margins, rising expectations, and the grind of daily exceptions. Join the session to learn what mattered most this year for AI in trucking and what savvy fleets should prepare for next.
