OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026

of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The robots can help. They can’t replace the room you read.
28% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Mostly safe. AI helps around the edges, but the job stays human.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Check all load-related documentation for completeness and accuracy
- Maintain logs of working hours or of vehicle service or repair status, following applicable state and federal regulations
- Read bills of lading to determine assignment details
- Report vehicle defects, accidents, traffic violations, or damage to the vehicles
- Operate equipment, such as truck cab computers, CB radios, phones, or global positioning systems (GPS) equipment to exchange necessary information with bases, supervisors, or other drivers
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Check vehicles to ensure that mechanical, safety, and emergency equipment is in good working order
- Crank trailer landing gear up or down to safely secure vehicles
- Obtain receipts or signatures for delivered goods and collect payment for services when required
- Perform basic vehicle maintenance tasks, such as adding oil, fuel, or radiator fluid, performing minor repairs, or washing trucks
- Couple or uncouple trailers by changing trailer jack positions, connecting or disconnecting air or electrical lines, or manipulating fifth-wheel locks
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
