AERONET SERVICES UNINTERRUPTED AMIDST INDEPENDENT TRUCKERS SLOWDOWN

Irvine, CA – April 1, 2008

As independent truckers across the country call for a slow down or shut down of their operations in protest of the high diesel fuel prices, Aeronet assures its clients that its service levels will not be adversely impacted.

High diesel fuel prices in the range of $4.00 per gallon have compelled many independent truckdrivers and owner-operators across the country to protest to bring attention to the high cost of fuel that is putting an economic squeeze on their operations. The "protest" is in the form of slowing down deliveries in targeted geographic areas effective today, April 1st and possibly lasting three days. "Aeronet has been monitoring this situation closely since this past March 24th when reports of a possible grassroots driver initiative were announced," commented Tony Medeiros, President and C.O.O. of Aeronet. "Aeronet's network is on alert and we anticipate an uninterrupted operation for Aeronet's services. We have contingency plans ready in the event that this situation should escalate," added Medeiros.

"Everyone is feeling the impact of high fuel prices including drivers, carriers, shippers, clients and all of us as consumers. We will continue to monitor the events surrounding this issue and keep our clients informed with the news," concluded Medeiros.
