About company

TRI was founded in 1982 as a tariff publishing company publishing tariffs for motor carriers throughout New England. The business was made possible by the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 which allowed carriers to publish and file their own tariffs with the Interstate Commerce Commission and Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities. With offices next to the 1835 Town Hall at 33 Main Street, TRI began word processing with Tandy Model 12 computers running TRS-DOS and the Scripsit word processing software. It was evident that computers were going to be a major factor in the evolution of TRI. In 1988, TRI relocated to an even older dwelling in the center of town at 9 Waushacum Avenue. The commercially zoned property with a building built in 1840 had been the home of the Davidson family since the 1940’s. The original bark covered birch and oak timbers are still a major part of the structural integrity of the building . TRI has since relocated to a more modern facility at 50 Leominster Road, Sterling, Massachusetts.
