Lease/Purchase Program to Enhance Customer Care

November 30, 2007

In an effort to enhance customer service and provide an opportunity for career advancement, Towne Air Freight has announced the launch of a Lease/Purchase Program available to all company drivers. This program offers drivers the option of entering into a partnership with Towne by purchasing their own tractors and receiving guidance through the transition from company drivers to small business owners.

"Not only do our drivers benefit from being in absolute control of their driving career, but history and experience have shown that independent contractors really take ownership of their routes and show an increased sense of responsibility to customer satisfaction. As business owners, they become very responsive to customer needs and are more willing to go the extra mile," said Tom Downey, Towne's President and CEO. "We're extremely proud to bring this level of support to our drivers while reinforcing the importance of customer care."

The Lease/Purchase Program is already gaining support and several long-time company drivers are in position to take advantage of the opportunity to own their own business.
