March 2005

New Outlook for Canada

Ted Bertram

Canada National Account Update

As most of you are aware, Steve Walker, Area Vice President – Canada, resigned from Idealease in mid February of 2005.

Steve has taken a position with the Kenworth – Paclease dealer in the Toronto Market.

Any of you that have worked with Steve in the past 8 years should be aware that I am sure that he will be soliciting the same accounts that he signed for Idealease during that period.

Please make sure that you visit any of your existing National Accounts that are in your market and keep your pulse on your customers to insure that we do not make it easy to “harvest our crop”.

I am actively seeking to replace him in that position in the very near future.

I have three resumes that appear promising and will be traveling to Toronto in March to sit down and meet these potential candidates in face-to-face interviews.

It is my goal and objective to speak to as many people as possible and determine the best Candidate that can pull the Canadian National Account program together and get productivity that is on par with the other Area VP’s of National Accounts.

I will keep you all updated as to the progress made as I work towards selecting a candidate that will fill the bill.

Good Luck and Good Selling!

PODS (Portable On Demand Storage)-we have just added another 24 units with a franchise in California. This is a rapidly growing company with a variety of franchises based all over the country. We have also quoted many other franchises around the country. We are also hoping to get a chance to quote PODS corporate in Clearwater, FL. They leased about 140 units from Ryder last year. We attended the 5th annual convention for PODS in Tarpon Springs. There were about 300 attendees both existing franchises and potential franchises. We had a lot of positive feedback from the people stopping by our booth. We have now put a program together for them that is much more attractive and more cost effective. We feel that there will be numerous opportunities for us to grow with the PODS family. Please feel free to contact any local PODS company and find out if they are a corporate store or a franchisee.

Suntory Water Group-Suntory was purchased by DANONE on January 1st of last year. We have had a lot of success signing new business with the Suntory Group and now we have the chance to add the DANONE units. The new name of the company is DS Waters of America LP. They still have the following companies Sierra Springs, Crystal Springs, Belmont Springs, Hinckley Springs Water and now Sparkling Water. We added 17 units in Salinas, CA for Sparkling Water and are quoting another 125 units for Sante Fe Springs. If you have any of these accounts in your markets please make a contact with them and introduce yourself. We have a Contract Maintenance Program in place with them for vehicles throughout the United States. We feel there is a lot of opportunity with the new company. They run about 4100 units combined throughout the US. There are 5 regional managers within the company that can make decisions; therefore, if you think there is any opportunity in your market please contact me.

US Lumber Group-we have a large amount of success with US Lumber Group. They are currently expanding to the Baltimore and Nashville markets with more growth in the future. We have all locations with Idealease with the one exception being Raleigh. We are currently in the process of replacing 3 units in Birmingham and 1 unit in Dothan. We ordered 4 new units for the Jacksonville operation last week. We are also looking at units in Nashville, Baltimore, and Louisville very soon. The affiliates have done a great job with responding to the needs of US Lumber in the cities where they are located. Please keep up the good work and hope the affiliates to where US Lumber is expanding can give them the same kind of attention.

Oldcastle Glass: We continue to be asked to bid for new vehicles and for replacement vehicles. Please continue to work the local management in developing a relationship. This is a critical step in the process because each location must provide the corporate office three bids before awarding the business.

Packaged Ice (Reddy Ice): Reddy Ice has been instructed to purchase replacements for this year and combine with Contract Maintenance. I am in the process of finalizing locations that will receive equipment so we can provide CM proposal for each location to the corporate office. I will contact locations when information is finalized. Please continue to advise me of activity or requests in your area.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition: We are in the final stages of this year’s replacement cycle. I have contacted locations that will be involved. Specifications and pricing should be complete by mid March with expectations of signing schedules by end of March.

Rexel: Rexel continues to show more confidence in our network. We are developing specifications and pricing for three new locations. Please continue to work the local management in your area to develop local relationships.

Builders FirstSource: We will be adding or replacing 30 vehicles in the first two quarters of this year. We are renewing the captive shop in Cincinnati in July. Reports on our service continue to be strong.

O’Reilly Auto Parts: We are finalizing National Account Contract Maintenance contracts for several locations. We have been awarded the maintenance for their new DC, which opens in March. In addition, we have been asked to replace Penske in Mobile. We have also been asked to contract their operation in Knoxville by the end of April. I would like to give special thanks to Boe Jones, Roberts Idealease, in Oklahoma City; Ken Buurma, Ward Idealease in Mobile; Gary Gustafson, Landmark Idealease in Knoxville; and Mario Delgado and Scott Brown of Idealease of Atlanta for their support and assistance in making this deal finally happen.

Lennox Industries: We are finalizing the National Account Full Service Lease contract for several locations. Lennox has not leased many vehicles in the past and has relied on common carriers. They currently have made the decision to consider taking on delivery themselves. Special thanks to Mike Nakunz of Charter Idealease, San Bernardino for his help in signing this account.

Thanks again for your continued support in making Idealease and your National Account Program a recognized leader in our industry. If you have any questions or comments at any time, please contact me at (972) 549-0312, or on my cell phone at (972) 816-1960.

Most of the opportunities that I am working on are with existing accounts Stericycle, Angelica, Eby-Brown, etc. We are still working on the Stericycle replacements that were first discussed back in December. There is a significant amount of coordination with this project and we are getting close to completion. All of you involved will receive communication shortly.

Xpedx still remains to be an excellent opportunity. I have attached a list of Xpedx facilities with warehouse manager’s names. I would recommend calling on any local operation in your area. You can let them know that we have had their business in Cincinnati for seven years, which is their largest facility. We have had a successful relationship in Wisconsin Rapids, WI for six years and we are working to renew this business. In the past twelve months we have added Hanover, MD (Baltimore), Tampa, FL and Rochester, NY. Idealease is looked upon positively at Xpedx’s corporate office in Loveland, OH (Cincinnati) as well with the consulting group Industrial Fleet Management. Please communicate with me any correspondence that you do with the local management.

Xpedx’s bid process starts at the local level with a request for equipment. They must produce a justification for this equipment request and then Industrial Fleet Management will contact me with a request for bid. There are still many Xpedx locations that purchase their trucks and then finance them. Maintenance on these finance lease trucks are typically sales and service are some type of PM program. I have been working with Xpedx at all levels on the lease vs buy and lifecycle programs with some success but more is needed.

WIT & Company (We Invest Together)

WIT is an organization developed similar to Idealease. This is an organization of 40 plumbing, electrical and HVAC wholesale companies throughout the United States. These companies become shareholders of WIT in order to competitively purchase their products as a collective group.

WIT shareholders strongly support the programs that WIT has offered them. One of the Board members of WIT has been leasing trucks from Carolina Idealease (Columbia, SC) for many years. Forrest Byrd of Carolina Idealease had introduced me to his customer over a year ago. Idealease was asked if we could put a program together including rebates and term discounts, which we have done.

Collectively WIT has over 500 locations and an estimated 600 trucks and tractors. The program was introduced to WIT in April 2004. We quoted ten companies, seven signed contracts with Idealease for a total of 28 units. I have evaluated why we did not turn all ten that we quoted and I have made changes in the way that we will approach these new opportunities. I just attended WIT’s convention two weeks ago and met many new prospects. I expect to follow up on each of these opportunities and to communicate with the respective Idealease affiliate.

Most of these WIT companies are in ownership but as many of their peers have ventured into full service lease they are interested in discussing our services further. I have attached a list of the WIT shareholders. I have found three WIT companies already in business with an Idealease affiliate. Please call me immediately if you already have business with any of these accounts. If you do not have any business with these accounts please call me and we can discuss a strategy.
