New Hyde Park, New York (April '02)

Associated Global Systems, a full service transportation and logistics provider, is now offering AGS Ground as an alternative to the more expensive and slower LTL service.

AGS Ground is available to every zip code in the United States, provides one freight-all-kinds zone tariff and maintains an average of three day delivery time coast to coast. Customers can be confident that one carrier will handle their cargo from pickup to delivery.

There are no additional charges for specific delivery time and no freight classification games to worry about. Customers will not have to be concerned which NMFC classification their freight qualifies for. AGS Ground also offers extended hours for pickup (until 9 P.M.) at some locations.

Customers can manage all their shipments on myAGS.com, our customized freight management web portal. They can enter and track their outbound shipments, get POD's, access numerous reports, review accounts payables and track all their inbound shipments right from their desktop.

"We see this new service as a customer relationship builder," commented Norman Freeman, President of Associated Global Systems. "It provides our customers with a cost saving transportation solution during a turbulent economic year." Mr. Freeman continues, "We've extended our pickup hours, made AGS Ground easy to use and very cost efficient."

"Companies who have partnered with AGS as their transportation and logistics provider already have a one-stop shop for all their freight transportation needs," adds Scott Richter, Director of Service Quality. He continues, "They know AGS for our flexible and reliable service, state of the art transportation web and wireless technologies, customer service support 24/7/365 and our full suite of value-added services." AGS Ground is another way that we have responded to the needs of the market."

Founded in 1958, Associated Global Systems is a privately held company providing a full range of transportation, logistics and supply chain management services worldwide. It has 400+ offices in North America, and provides air, ocean and ground services to, from and within 205 countries.
