1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an autonomous truck, comprising:
obtaining a data structure comprising data defining a plurality of test trips, wherein a respective test trip of the plurality of test trips is associated with a trip parameter;
determining that the autonomous truck has completed a first delivery service;
determining that the autonomous truck is available to undertake a test trip prior to a second delivery service;
selecting from among the plurality of test trips, the respective test trip based at least in part on data of the autonomous truck corresponding to the trip parameter; and
controlling the autonomous truck in accordance with the respective test trip.
