For several years, Tri-National, Inc., has been providing a wide range of truckload and shipping services to clients in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Dedicated to serving its community, Tri-National, Inc., supports several charitable and community organizations, including Kids Without Cancer (KWC). KWC has been funding research to eradicate childhood cancer around the world since 1981. To accomplish its mission, it relies on the support of generous donors and volunteers. Donors are welcome to send various amounts to KWC online or via telephone or mail. Contributions can be either discrete or recurring and made in honor or memory of a cherished individual. KWC notifies those in whose honor a gift is made and sends donors a receipt for tax deduction purposes. Beyond being receptive to donations, KWC welcomes two types of volunteers, one of which donates his or her time to help with fundraising or events. The second type brings to bear a specific skill or set of skills that the organization needs, including an ability to write, develop web pages, or manage social media. Regardless of the type, volunteers reap the benefits of meeting new people, exploring new careers, building self-esteem, and developing their resume.

Tri-National Inc. trucking company, headquartered in Earth City, Missouri, features senior-level management with more than 100 years of experience. Like many of its counterparts in the trucking industry, Tri-National Inc. is constantly evaluating and adopting new technologies. Since smart trucks continue to utilize more telematics, truck platooning will become feasible and safe within a short time. Vehicles equipped with cutting-edge navigation support systems can follow each other much more closely than was previously possible. This tight formation is called a platoon, and the real-time communication between the trucks makes instantaneous braking possible. Platooning will allow substantial cost savings because when trucks drive close together at a constant speed, fuel savings are considerable, as is the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The platoon also will improve traffic flow and reduce transit slowdowns by reducing driver variability. Fuel savings have been as high as 10 percent for the rear truck in a platoon, and the first vehicle saves as much as 4.5 percent. Thus, platooning could result in cost savings of $1,750 per vehicle annually. |
