Competition
The transportation services industry is highly competitive and fragmented. The Company competes primarily against a large number of other domestic non-asset based transportation and logistics companies, as well as asset-based transportation and logistics companies, third-party freight brokers, carriers offering logistics services and freight forwarders. The Company also competes against carriers' internal sales forces and shippers' own transportation departments. It also buys and sells transportation services from and to companies with which it competes. Competition is based primarily on freight rates, quality of service (such as damage free shipments, on-time delivery and consistent transit times), reliable pickup and delivery and scope of operations. Other logistics companies and transportation services companies and numerous carriers have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company also competes with transportation services companies for the services of independent commission agents, and with trucklines for the services of independent contractors and drivers.

Business Plan
The Company's growth strategy consists of (i) expanding its service offerings, (ii) increasing sales to existing customers, (iii) leveraging its core service provider capability, (iv) expanding its customer base and (v) pursuing strategic acquisitions.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used to repay indebtedness, repurchase the company's Series A preferred stock, working capital and for general corporate purposes including acquisitions.
