Truckers Spooked by ‘Midnight Autonomous Convoys’

Strange reports are surfacing across the country: driverless trucks traveling in eerie convoys, but only after midnight.

Witnesses describe the autonomous rigs glowing faintly, their headlights pulsing like eyes. “One hissed at me when I passed,” claimed veteran driver Carl Jensen. “I swear it growled through the CB.”

Manufacturers insist there’s nothing supernatural, calling it “routine overnight testing.” But skeptics aren’t convinced. Rumors spread quickly that these rigs are powered by ghost dispatchers who never log off.

Some truckers say the convoys stick to back roads, appearing only on full moons. Others claim their ELDs mysteriously log miles while parked, proof – they argue – of phantom co-drivers.

Fleet managers remain divided. “If the trucks want to work graveyard shifts, let them,” shrugged one. “Cheaper than paying overtime.”

But for many on the road, the sightings are unsettling. “I’m not scared of robots,” said one driver. “I’m scared they’ll start underbidding me.”

Whether high-tech glitch or highway ghost story, the midnight convoys have become this season’s most chilling mystery. As one CB caller put it: “Forget Dracula. I’m more afraid of a Peterbilt that drives itself.”
