Engineering the future of intelligent trailer security and active theft prevention.
An owner-operator does not have a corporate safety net. An injury stops their income, and equipment trouble hits their own investment, not just your fleet's balance sheet. EM6000 Auto gives contractor relations teams a real answer to owner-operator retention: protect the two things an independent contractor cannot afford to lose.
No obligation. See it running on your own trailer before you commit.
keep them earning, not sidelined by injury
their equipment, covered like it's yours
30-second cycles, not manual cranking
give them a real reason to stay leased
An owner-operator is not just another seat to keep filled. They are a small business owner deciding, contract by contract, whether your fleet is worth staying leased to.
EM6000 Auto is built around the same two things an owner-operator is protecting every day: their body and their equipment.

Owner-operators weigh a lease decision against real exposure. Here is what each equipment setup does and does not cover.
| Protection | Manual Cranking Only | Basic GPS Only | EM6000 Auto |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reduces repetitive-strain injury risk | No | No | Yes |
| Prevents unauthorized trailer hookups | No | No | Yes |
| Documents who accessed the equipment | No | Often | Yes |
| Location and geofence visibility | No | Yes | Yes |
| Protects income during physical recovery | No | No | Yes - indirectly, by preventing the injury |
| Feature | Functional Benefit | Retention Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Powered landing-gear operation | Removes the crank motion tied to shoulder and back injury | Protects the income-earning career the contractor depends on |
| Physical trailer lockdown | Blocks unauthorized hookups on leased equipment | Protects the asset the contractor is financially responsible for |
| Smart access control | Logs exactly who accessed the trailer and when | Gives contractors confidence in equipment they don't own outright |
| Real-time GPS & geofence alerts | Flags unexpected movement immediately | Reduces disputes over where equipment was and when |
| Retrofit deployment | Rolls out onto existing trailers already in the fleet | Lets liaisons offer the upgrade without disrupting active leases |
EM6000 Auto comes from Trinetra Guard, the trailer security line from ELD Mandate, an established fleet compliance and telematics provider already working with carriers across the US and Canada.
It means giving independent contractors a business reason to keep leasing onto your fleet instead of a competitor. Owner-operators choose fleets the way any contractor chooses a client: based on what protects their income and their equipment, not just the rate per mile.
Most owner-operators do not have employer-paid disability coverage behind them, so a shoulder or back injury from manual cranking does not just hurt; it stops their income until they can drive again. Removing the repetitive motion that causes those injuries protects the only paycheck they have.
Yes. The physical lockdown feature restricts unauthorized hookups on the trailer, which matters directly to a contractor who is financially responsible for the equipment under their lease agreement, not just to the fleet's balance sheet.
No. EM6000 Auto installs on the trailer itself, and fleets typically roll it out as part of their existing equipment, not as a separate purchase or install the contractor has to manage on their own.
Yes. It is designed to retrofit onto standard van, reefer, and flatbed trailer landing gear already in use across US and Canadian fleets, without disrupting the existing setup.
Don't let manual cranking and cargo theft push away your best independent contractors. Outfit your trailers with Trinetra Guard’s EM6000 Auto to strengthen your owner-operator retention strategy across the USA and Canada.
