Is Gatik a good place to work?

Researched October 2026 · 17 sources

Mostly. Gatik is a well-funded self-driving truck firm offering local routes, home daily, and weekly pay, but many drivers are agency staff, recent reviews report cut hours and thin training, and its trucks now run without a driver. Steady hours are not assured: Indeed reviewers report weeks of about 30 hours where postings promised 40 to 45, many drivers are agency staff rather than Gatik employees, and Gatik took the safety driver off its commercial routes in 2025. It pays $25–$30/hr in most of its live listings (median $25/hr).

Who is behind it

Gatik AI Inc. is a private self-driving truck company in Mountain View, California, founded in 2017 by Gautam Narang (CEO), Arjun Narang and Apeksha Kumavat. Its Isuzu box trucks haul short freight routes for PepsiCo, Walmart, Kroger, Tyson Foods and Loblaw. Isuzu invested $30 million in 2024; a $200 million round in August 2026, led by Qatar Investment Authority and Koch, took its total to about $500 million. It has about 350 staff.

Getting paid

Drivers are hourly, full time, on local routes, home daily, paid weekly; each posting states its rate. Most postings require being open to agency partners (one is marked contracted); HireArt has staffed its operators on its own benefits. Indeed's salary page (it can count job ads) averages $26.86/hr for Gatik truck drivers (92 reports).

What people praise

  • A driver on Indeed (September 2026, 5 stars) called it one of the best driving jobs they had held: no long haul or nights in the cab, point-to-point runs, home every day, standard shifts and good pay.
  • Another Indeed reviewer (September 2026, 5 stars) described a supportive team, approachable managers, solid pay and hands-on work with new technology, a good way into the autonomous vehicle industry.
  • On Glassdoor, where most reviewers are office and engineering staff, Gatik scores 4.1/5 and about three in four reviewers would recommend it (figures as shown in search results).

What people complain about

  • An Indeed reviewer (May 2026, 3 stars) said hours were being cut to about 30 a week where the posting promised 40 to 45, and that truck maintenance was not being done.
  • A driver (Indeed, September 2026, 1 star) described 13 to 14 hour shifts starting at 3:20 AM, three or four days a week with the days never known ahead, and weak training from the in-house trainer.
  • An operator (Indeed, August 2026, 1 star) cited no structured training for new hires, favoritism and heavy turnover; a July 2026 reviewer said rules change without notice and staff take the blame.
  • Blind rates Gatik 1.0/5 from 6 reviews by office and engineering staff (October 2024 to September 2025), citing micromanaging founders, slow decisions and rampant turnover.

What has gone wrong

  • January 2026. Gatik took the safety driver off its commercial routes in mid-2025. By January 2026 trucks ran with no driver or safety observer in Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix and Northwest Arkansas (10 on public roads, with hundreds planned by year end); its Ontario freight for Loblaw still ran with a safety driver.
  • August 2026. Gatik filed 3 crash reports with NHTSA between April 2025 and September 2026, all with its self-driving system engaged (Lowell, Arkansas; Peoria and Glendale, Arizona): mirror contact with a passing truck and with a sign, and a tree branch striking the cargo box. No one was hurt.
Who it suits

Best for: Drivers with a CDL (DZ in Ontario), 3+ years of experience including a year in 26 to 30 ft box trucks and a clean record who want local routes, home daily, and a hands-on start with self-driving trucks. Not for: Anyone who needs a steady 40-hour week or fixed days, wants Gatik itself as the employer rather than an agency, cannot work rotating or very early shifts, or wants a driving job that lasts as the trucks go driverless.
