PeopleNet has added two partners -- Doran Manufacturing and BatRF by Stemco -- that integrate with its Tire Pressure Monitoring Service.


PeopleNet began offering tire pressure monitoring in 2010 through its initial partnership with Advantage PressurePro.

In addition to expanding the company's integrated tire pressure monitoring offerings, the company has a new Tire Pressure Reporting feature that provides the cab with the current tire pressure status of both the tractor and trailer, as well as real-time tire-pressure alarms for the driver that are also transmitted to the PeopleNet Fleet Manager.

Chief Operating Officer Brian McLaughlin explained, "Our new Tire Pressure Reporting feature helps fleets proactively combat one of the most common causes of downtime and maintenance headaches. When tire pressure exceeds programmed thresholds, the PeopleNet Fleet Manager sends real-time alarms to drivers and if warranted, emails to fleet managers. It's all about early warning to eliminate future, more severe and costly situations like a blown tire."

The new feature provides historical reporting. It works on all PeopleNet display platforms including PeopleNet Driver Terminal, PeopleNet Blu and PeopleNet Tablet.
