DriverTech and Interstate Distributor Co. Announce Partnership; IDC Installs DriverTech's DT4000 for Its Fleet Operations

SALT LAKE CITY--March 22, 2006--DriverTech, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions of onboard computers for the trucking industry, and Interstate Distributor Co. (IDC), a premier full-service truckload carrier in North America, announced today that they are partnering to implement DriverTech's DT4000 new in-cab computer and tri-mode communication system into IDC's fleet.

George Payne, Executive Vice President of Interstate Distributor Co., said, "We are excited to be partnering with DriverTech at this stage in their growth within our industry. They bring solid credentials and a fresh perspective to the challenges we face."

This announcement reinforces Interstate Distributor's strategy of adopting cutting-edge technologies to consistently improve operating efficiency.

"The In-Vehicle Computer System provides our drivers with PC capabilities including the ability to scan documents, e-mail, watch movies, search the internet, complete online safety training, communicate with management in what are now considered 'dead' zones and utilize highly proficient street level mapping. Not only will it streamline communication, it will eliminate the driver's need to purchase additional equipment such as laptops," added Payne.

"It is no longer cost effective or efficient for trucking companies to send 100% of their messages over satellite," said Mark Haslam, DriverTech President and CEO. Haslam further elaborates, "The time has come to put purpose-built computers in trucks that allow connections to multiple wireless networks and services. The DriverTech system fulfills carriers' needs for the next generation of onboard computing and communications."

About DriverTech

DriverTech designs and builds the DT4000 system, which is an open, Windows XP-based, onboard computer system for vehicles. The DriverTech system provides in-vehicle, computing resources and an intelligent link between the driver and many sources of data communication coming from or to the vehicle such as work assignments, mapping along with GPS information, and engine data. The DriverTech system is a true 'Tri-Mode' system (Satellite, Cellular and Wi-Fi) that has the ability to connect these wireless networks simultaneously and then use a least-cost algorithm to automatically route data via the lowest cost communication option. Thus, users of the DriverTech system are seeing a tenfold decrease in their satellite messaging usage with 98% of messaging going over low-cost cellular or Wi-Fi networks. Used in both government and commercial applications, the system is built to military specifications and will withstand the heat, cold, moisture, and vibration typical of a vehicle environment. Fleets use a suite of DriverTech software as well as their own applications on the DT4000. DriverTech has shown that its system immediately enables fleets to leverage not only many software applications, but also the multitude of lower cost, wireless networks that are available and continually expanding.
