ArcBest Purchases Two Tesla Semi Trucks
ArcBest announced the purchase of two Class 8 Tesla Semi trucks by its less-than-truckload carrier ABF Freight, building on insights gained from a pilot completed in 2025. The long-range, all-electric units mark the next step in the company's measured approach to evaluating emerging technologies that advance fleet innovation and sustainability while ensuring consistent operational performance. The new equipment will primarily support linehaul operations within California, with planned extension into Reno, Nevada, and potentially other locations. Compared with the 2025 pilot, which focused mainly on the Reno-Sacramento corridor, this deployment significantly expands lane coverage to evaluate performance across a broader segment of the ABF network.
