Le Manoir Richelieu, Quebec, Canada (August 8th 2006) - At the National Tank Truck Carrier’s Summer Board Meeting, FleetRisk Advisors announced the production implementation of an advanced predictive modeling and risk analytics system for Dupre’ Transport, LLC. The initiative began as a pilot project in 2005 using data aggregation and pattern recognition technology to identify risk signatures of drivers, vehicles and schedules. The pilot focused on which drivers were most likely to be involved in an accident or service failure. The production phase began in the first quarter of 2006, enabling Dupre’ to devise new risk management and performance monitoring strategies with the aim of simultaneously reducing operational costs and mitigating risks.

Tom Voelkel, President and Chief Operating Officer of Dupre Transport, stated “This is the next step in moving us closer to our vision of being the safest transportation and logistics company in North America. Predictive modeling helps us see the future today and gives us the opportunity to create the future that we want tomorrow.”

The primary business objective of the production implementation was to combine historical data with the current month’s operational data to predict next month’s safety performance. In order to accomplish this, FleetRisk implemented a new processing platform at Dupre’ which consists of the following:

1. “Near” real-time interfaces to primary operational systems:
* QUALCOMM FleetAdvisor® fleet management system
* Circadian Alertness Simulator
* TMW dispatch system
* Profile XT – driver profiling
* Dupre’s internal accident & incident system
* Dupre’s internal human resources and training programs
* Dupre’s internal vehicle & fixed asset systems
2. Interfaces to external data such as population density, zip code, weather, traffic
3. New predictive models incorporating the expanded datasets
