When interviewed for feedback from the more than 70 nominations by our Operations teams across the country, each one of these Service Providers stood out within their core service offering among their peers,” said Bradley Palmer, Director of Carrier Development and Pricing at Trinity Logistics. “Distinctly, this is the first year Trinity Logistics has presented its “Trinity Titan” awards. After listening to stories from our teams about these small fleets, our Leadership was compelled to honor these partners that demonstrated grit throughout a challenging year.”

Each Distinguished Provider will be presented with a crystal award to commemorate their success and achievement with Trinity Logistics. 

"Trinity Logistics wants to thank our 2020 Distinguished Providers of the Year for being key to our continued success. We greatly value the essential delivery they provide our most important customers alongside our Operations Teams. We are truly honored to work with these Providers day in and day out,” said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
