Press Release Summary = Insight Network Logistics (INL) launched a new automobile
transportation subsidiary, Insight Network Transportation (INT), to provide the used
auto and remarketing industries with multi-modal, cost-effective vehicle
transportation services.

Press Release Body = With internet sales opening up larger markets for both buyers
and sellers of used automobiles, there is a greater need for low-cost, long-haul
transportation. INT's mission will be to provide a combination of vehicle
transportation services which help expand on-line selling opportunities for auto
remarketers, private fleet owners, rental companies, and major holders of used auto
portfolios. INT will deliver robust, on-demand solutions that take the hassle out of
shipping, tracking and controlling lease turnbacks and inventory while giving
customers greater control and visibility of the logistics process right from their
desktop or wireless PDA device.

Parent company, Insight Network Logistics, has extensive access to rail and truck
resources throughout North America and unparalleled electronic connectivity with
automotive transporters and service providers via its VinVision® software. VinVision
is INL's web-native application developed exclusively for visibility, control and
management of vehicle distribution.

"With the new transportation company, we are positioned to introduce advanced
logistics capabilities to the auto remarketing industry," commented Roland Fortner,
General Manager and CEO of Insight Network Logistics. "This is a natural extension
of our business model that complements and expands our menu of automotive
logistics."

Insight Network Transportation can help auto remarketers save money and improve
residual values by enabling them to take advantage of all modes of transportation
more effectively. INT's customers will be able to use VinVision to expand
their on-line sales opportunities, improve customer service and take the worries out
of transporting vehicles. INT will help auto remarketers make their entire
turnback-to-sale process more visible, more responsive and more cost-efficient.
