"Reserving Tesla trucks marks an important step in our efforts to implement industry-
changing technology," said John Roberts, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt, in a statement. "We believe electric trucks will be most beneficial on local and dray routes, and we look forward to utilizing this new, sustainable technology."
A grocery store chain is also getting in on the action. Meijer announced that it placed an order for four Tesla Semi trailers, plunking down $5,000 deposits for each, Bloomberg reports, citing a conversation with Meijer's fleet manager at the Semi unveiling event. Four trucks may not seem like much, given that Meijer has some 220 trucks in six different Midwest states, but it's a start. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-already-received-semi-orders-from-j-b-hunt-meijer/
