Shared-Terminal Security Startup Uses AI To Shame Late Trucks

A new gate security system has begun scolding trucks that arrive late – via AI. Terminals are deploying facial recognition, GPS logs, and tone sensors to detect tardiness, bad days, and even driver mood. If a truck is more than fifteen minutes late, the gate camera flashes a message: “Better luck tomorrow.”

Drivers say it’s humiliating. One pulled in at 9:47 a.m. for a 9:30 appointment and was met with a polite drone recording: “You are tardy. Gate is disappointed.” He backed off, made himself a sandwich, and returned at 10:03 a.m. with a bona fide apology in hand.

Terminals argue it improves efficiency, reduces congestion, and cuts idle times. Some hope shippers will accept “AI apology tokens” from late trucks as part of contracts.

Dispatchers are resigned: their late-arrival mitigation strategies now include leaving their houses at twilight, purchasing sunlamps, and bribing neighbors to logic out traffic signals.

In trucker social spheres, people compare their shame scores. One driver posted bragging rights: “I scored 4.2 out of 10 for punctuality today – my best ever.”

Meanwhile, some drivers heckle the AI camera: “When it starts flowers and candles for On-Time Trucks, I’ll believe in redemption.”
