New Member Benefit for LGDA Members:
The LGDA Discount Shipping Program

October 10, 2007

LGDA is pleased and excited to announce a new member benefit, which provides significant savings on small parcel and large freight shipments sent via FedEx®, UPS FreightSM (not to be confused with UPS small parcel), and Yellow Transportation.

LGDA has entered into an agreement with PartnerShip, a leading freight management provider, giving LGDA members enrolled in the free discount shipping program access to significant discounts on domestic and international shipments through FedEx, the nation's premier small package carrier.

In addition, enrolled members will receive a 64% discount with UPS Freight and Yellow Transportation for less-than-truckload (LTL) freight shipments coming into and going out of your business.

LGDA chose PartnerShip because they are a well-established organization, working with more than 16,000 businesses nationwide, and because they are aligned with the best carriers in the industry. For LGDA's small and mid-sized member companies, PartnerShip has secured the substantial shipping discounts typically reserved for high-volume shippers.

Members may enroll in this free service online at http://www.partnership.com/49LGDA, or by faxing their completed enrollment form to PartnerShip at 800-439-8913. The LGDA Discount Shipping Program is FREE, with no obligations and no minimum shipping requirements. If you have any questions, please call PartnerShip at 800-599-2902, or email sales@PartnerShip.com. You can also visit PartnerShip's website at www.PartnerShip.com.
