Systems and methods are provided for aligning a laser scanning device for measurement of a volume of a container. A method includes: causing an autonomous vehicle coupled to the laser scanning device to move to a location at a known distance from a reference circumference; generating data indicative of locations of points along a portion of the reference circumference; determining, based on the data, an alignment angle by which the autonomous vehicle is to steer such that an axis of the laser scanning device that intersects the container passes through a center axis of the container; causing the autonomous vehicle to steer by the alignment angle, such that the laser scanning device is thereby aligned normal to a tangent plane of a wall of the container; and measuring a plurality of horizontal offsets of the wall relative to the reference circumference for use in determining the volume.
