     Driving the Message Home ... FreeCar Mobile Advertising is Effective

    LOS ANGELES, March 12 FreeCar.com, creator of an
innovative new form of mobile advertising, is leading the way to establishing
their medium through the use of @Road FleetASAP(SM), a
Web-based mobile resource management solution powered by @Road LocationSmart
technology.  FreeCar.com tracks the productivity and accountability of their
advertisers' fleets using @Road FleetASAP, which verifies the location, speed,
route and total mileage of each vehicle providing advertisers with
quantifiable impression rate results.
    "The @Road fleet tracking systems allow us to produce very specific
impression rate reports for each campaign and a quality control mechanism over
our drivers," said Keith Powers, co-founder of FreeCar.com.  "By using the
systems we are able to pinpoint the exact exposure that our advertisers'
fleets receive.  This is a huge value-added service for our clients.  We have
been working with @Road for over a year now and are extremely pleased with the
quality of the systems and the data they generate."
    "We are pleased to partner with FreeCar.com and provide an effective and
affordable tracking system for advertisers' vehicles," said John Lankes, vice
president of product management for @Road.  "We believe that our LocationSmart
platform is one of the leading mobile resource management solutions that
enable users to track vehicles anytime anywhere via the Internet."
    FreeCar.com incorporates the data collected by FleetASAP into CPM (cost
per thousand) and DEC (daily effective circulation) reports that provide
advertisers with a tool to monitor the ongoing progress of their campaign.
FreeCar.com also has a patent pending entitled "Systems and methods to
increase the efficiency of outdoor advertising and the reduction of the idle
capacity."
