Major new customers for Wared Transport in Syria include Premco, a

"We are pleased to see such rapid growth in this dynamic area of the
Middle East," stated Brian McHale, CEO of Wared Logistics. "The significant
construction taking place in this region requires a professional organization
that knows how to move heavy and oversized loads -- and Wared Transport is
that professional organization."

Wared Transport is an established, full-service trucking operation that
provides customers with container drayage, full truckload transport, and
specialized heavy-lift transport. The specialized operation provides
transport and support services for specialized commodities, including
employment of specialized equipment for oversized or overweight loads,
rigging, loading and unloading, regulatory compliance, and accompaniment.
Wared Transport provides all the services and equipment necessary to
transport oversized loads, including long-extendible flatbed trailers and
dollies that can carry up to 35 meters of over-length long cargo, and up to
175 tons of cargo.

Wared Transport is supplementing its existing Syria fleet with 20 new
tractors and 30 new trailers. All of the tractors are equipped with the
Telargo system for Tracking and Driver communications. The trailers include
low and extended flat beds of 18, 24, and 26 meters. These additions to the
fleet position Wared Transport to accommodate current and future customer
requirements.
