PeopleNet Integration for Real-Time Fleet & Load Visibility

TruckMaster’s PeopleNet integration connects your TMS to real-time vehicle data—GPS positions, telematics, and driver activity—so you can see where your assets are and how loads are progressing without leaving TruckMaster.

PeopleNet captures data from in-cab devices, ELDs, and telematics systems installed in your trucks. TruckMaster uses that data to keep loads, trips, and driver activity aligned so dispatch, safety, and customer service share the same live view of your fleet.

✅ Who it’s for: Fleets that use PeopleNet for telematics and ELD and want that information surfaced directly in TruckMaster TMS.

📡 What PeopleNet Does

PeopleNet is a fleet management and ELD platform that provides real-time GPS tracking, telematics insights, driver activity, and compliance data for your vehicles and drivers.

Collects GPS locations from devices installed in your vehicles.
Monitors speed, idling, utilization, and route history.
Provides ELD-compliant HOS and duty status information.
Feeds operational data into dashboards, reports, and integrations.

🔐 How the Integration Works

The TruckMaster + PeopleNet integration securely pulls PeopleNet data into your TMS so you can associate vehicles and drivers with active loads and trips.

Load, trip, and stop details are sent from TruckMaster to the driver through PeopleNet in-cab devices.
Drivers receive dispatch instructions and trip updates on their mounted PeopleNet tablets.
Vehicles and drivers in PeopleNet are linked to corresponding records in TruckMaster.
PeopleNet sends GPS locations and status events back to TruckMaster for active trips.
Locations and events appear on loads, trips, and dispatch screens in TruckMaster.
Optional: HOS and activity data can support planning and compliance workflows.

Automated customer updates: Real-time tracking and milestone events captured through PeopleNet can automatically update customers via email notifications or the TruckMaster customer portal, reducing manual status calls and improving visibility.

Your fleet continues to run on PeopleNet hardware and apps; TruckMaster simply uses that live data to keep operations in sync.

🧠 Use Cases & Why It Matters

Fleets already on PeopleNet: Bring existing telematics and GPS data into TruckMaster without changing hardware.
Dispatch & operations teams: See live truck positions while assigning, planning, and monitoring loads.
Customer service teams: Answer “Where’s my load?” questions with current locations and movement history.
Safety & compliance teams: Use PeopleNet data alongside TMS records to support investigations and audits.

As shippers and regulators demand more transparency, the TruckMaster + PeopleNet integration helps you use the data you already collect to run a safer, more efficient, and more responsive fleet—without forcing drivers or dispatch to learn new tools.

❓ TruckMaster ↔ PeopleNet Fleet & Telematics — Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need a PeopleNet subscription for this integration?

Yes. The integration is designed for fleets that already use PeopleNet hardware and services. TruckMaster connects to your PeopleNet environment to read live vehicle and driver data.

What data does TruckMaster use from PeopleNet?

At a high level, TruckMaster uses GPS locations and related telematics data from PeopleNet to show where vehicles are and how they’re progressing against assigned loads. Additional details (such as HOS or activity) may be available depending on your configuration.

Does the integration change how drivers use PeopleNet?

No. Drivers keep using PeopleNet hardware and apps as they do today. The integration works between the systems in the background and does not require drivers to learn new tools.

Can we control which vehicles or data are visible in TruckMaster?

Yes. You can work with TruckMaster support to define which PeopleNet assets, drivers, and data points are used by TruckMaster, based on your operational and privacy requirements.

Does this integration replace our existing dispatch workflows?

No. Your dispatch and planning workflows stay in TruckMaster. The integration simply overlays PeopleNet’s real-time data on top of those workflows to make them more informed.
