About

Outrider builds an autonomous yard operations system for logistics hubs and distribution yards. The system combines electric autonomous yard trucks, yard management software, and site infrastructure to move trailers between loading docks and parking spots without a human driver. Its proprietary robotics hitch and unhitch trailers, connect and disconnect trailer brake lines, interact with loading docks, and track trailer inventory and location. Founded in 2017, the company is based in Colorado with a dedicated 200,000-square-foot test yard in Brighton, and has raised more than $250 million in equity capital.

Outrider automates the full yard task, not just driving — including the manual, hazardous steps human yard jockeys perform, such as robotically connecting and disconnecting trailer brake lines and interacting with loading docks — and does it with electric trucks, so customers get efficiency, safety and diesel replacement from one system.
