We will probably never see this in our lifetime with the big carriers. I have been doing contract work 3 nights per week for 1 of them for the past year. They are getting ready to do a big roll out in 2020 with an upgrade to the way they track trucks/drivers/deliveries.
The current system they use is so antiquated when I first saw it I couldn't believe it. Nothing is centralized, to check on a shipment or location of driver/truck you have to have about 8 screens open and cross reference between them. Some of it is still in DOS.
The new system they are putting into place addresses some of these issues, however, by the time it rolls out it will still be 10 years outdated.
Companies like this hate embracing new technologies. Cost and retraining of people. They expect this new software roll out in 2020 to cost well over a billion dollars.
