MINNEAPOLIS, November 8, 2010 – PeopleNet, a leading provider of innovative and integrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems for effective fleet management, today announced its partnership with Trinium Technologies, provider of a leading enterprise management system for both domestic intermodal and international container operations. Commenting on the partnership, PeopleNet Integration Services Manager Kerri Tabor explained, “This is a partnership truly driven by market demand for systems that will enable business expansion into additional sectors of the transportation industry. In fact, several intermodal trucking and truckload companies have been using both PeopleNet and Trinium systems, indicating a growing trend and the need for our support.”

The partnership includes integration between Trinium-TMS (Transportation Management System) for intermodal trucking and truckload operations with PeopleNet’s mobile communications system and Automated Workflow.
