COMPANY HISTORY Founded in 1939 by Albert L. Evans, Sr. the company started with two trucks handling LTL freight in the local Pottsville area. The company continued to grow in the regional LTL market and gradually expand operations to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Maryland. In 1973 the company established Intermodal services to serve Steamship lines in the port of Philadelphia. This Intermodal operation now serves steamship lines and rail-roads in every major port on the east coast as well as a number of inland ports. In 1989 the company sold its LTL operations and continued expansion in the Intermod-al and truckload markets. Today, Evans Delivery Company operates more than 1000 tractors through its network of strategically located terminal facilities and provides transportation services in the Intermodal, Truckload and Flatbed markets.

We find that through implementation of strategic company goals, which focus on service, we can do the best job of meeting our Customer’s re-quirements in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Our corporate mission is to continue to grow as a vital force in the transportation and logistics industry, and to provide superior logistical services and support to our customers. We are a winning team of capable leaders, independent contractors and agents who respond quickly and efficiently to change and are able to adapt aggressively to the Customer’s needs. Forging alliances with our customers to provide consistent, efficient and economical transportation services will accomplish our goals and objec-tives.

CREDO Our customers are our life's blood. They must be constantly nourished and provide a service of the highest quality at a cost that will allow both we, and they, to make a fair profit. To survive, we must endeavor to understand and meet the expectations and demands of each of our customers.

We must be ever mindful of the concerns and needs of our independent contractors and agents; for it is through them that our customer's needs are served. Everyone must be considered and individual whose suggestions and complaints are considered and acted upon. Those who are qualified must be given the encouragement and oppor-tunity for advancement and provided an atmosphere in which they can develop and hone their skills.

Our independent contractors must be treated with respect and recog-nized for their contributions. Compensation must be fair and adequate and working conditions clean, orderly and safe. They must feel a strong sense of security: a security that comes with knowledge that we, as a company, will prevail and prosper as long as each of us understands the importance of what the other does.

SAFETY Safety is a priority at Evans Delivery Company. We are committed to compliance with the FMCSA and all State Department of Transportation regulations. It is our belief that compliance improves driver safety and reduces accidents. You have been provided a pocket size guidebook of the FMCSA regulations and Hazardous Response Guidelines. Keep these items with you at all times in your tractor. Ad-ditional frequently asked questions and their answers can be found at www.fmcsa.dot.gov. Evans Delivery Company believes in training and re-training. We want to pro-vide you with the tools and resources to be proud of your chosen profession as a commercial driver and to improve public perception of all commercial drivers in our industry. One of the ways we will do this is through Evans PitStop, which will be discussed later. You are also welcome to contact the safety department at any time for additional training resources or other concerns you may have. The E.V.A.N.S. Keys to Safety is a motto that we want all of our Independent Con-tractors to follow here at Evans. It will save you money, reduce your CSA Scores, and most importantly save lives. It will be discussed in the following pages. In this guide, Evans will be discussing CSA and will be giving you the tools to keep your numbers low and in turn, help make Evans Delivery a Safer Company. Evans Delivery Company strictly follows the hours of service regulations, our poli-cy and procedure for keeping in compliance follows. In keeping with regulations, a complete pre and post trip inspection of all equip-ment used daily is expected. Please notate these inspections on your logs. Less breakdowns, CSA violations, and/or out-of-service violations mean we all save time and money. Evans Delivery Company believes in additional incentives and rewards for your hard work in maintaining an excellent standard of safety. Our rewards program follows. Evans is concerned as much for your safety as we are your security. Our security guidelines are included to heighten your awareness of your surroundings and will reduce your chances of cargo theft. Last but definitely not least, Evans has a “zero” tolerance for drugs and alcohol. We maintain an aggressive program of random testing. Any refusal to test will be treated the same as a positive and will result in an immediate cancellation of your lease and driver services. The bottom line is “safety” improves customer service, and if safety is our focus, it will naturally follow that “The customer is our focus!”

E.V.AN.S. KEYS TO SAFETY A few years ago Evans Delivery conducted it’s own internal research evaluating our costliest violations and issues. We found that crashes, moving violations, ve-hicle maintenance, and theft were the largest issues that negatively impacted us as a company. Armed with this information, we developed the EVANS KEYS TO SAFETY. They are as follows: • E -> LIMINATE DISTRACTIONS • V -> EHICLE FITNESS • A -> LWAYS BUCKLE UP • N -> EVER SPEED • S -> ECURE YOUR FREIGHT The interesting part about the EVANS KEYS TO SAFETY is that it will not only save you money, reduce your violations on roadside inspections, help prevent ac-cidents and cargo thefts, but it will also reduce your CSA Score! The ideas are very simple. Remove the distractions from the cab, like the cellphone, so you don’t put yourself at greater risk of an accident. Conduct a pre-trip and post-trip inspection on your vehicle so you can pass clean roadside inspections and lower your CSA Score. Al-ways Buckle up to prevent the silly but severe CSA Unsafe Driving violation asso-ciated with not wearing your seatbelt. Remember that the safest place to be in an accident is INSIDE your truck and only the seatbelt can guarantee that. Speeding not only is costly in the price of the ticket but carries a severe penalty under the Unsafe Driving Violation in CSA. The one of the thing that people forget is that a speeding ticket is a invitation to an unplanned roadside inspections. Our statis-tics show the a majority of speeding tickets also have roadside inspections with numerous violations attached. Never speed for safety first and foremost but don’t give yourself an additional roadside inspection. Finally, follow the tips in this guide to secure your freight. If a container or trailer was stolen due to your negli-gence, it will automatically cost you $1000.00 from your escrow but may also ef-fect your employment. Cargo thefts will leave a black eye on your official employ-ment record.

CSA CSA went into effect December 1st 2010 and scores each driver’s violation over a 36 month period; with recent violations counting more than older violations. This system replaced Safe Stat as the measure for both Carrier’s and Driver’s Safety Record. Like Safe Stat, a Carrier’s CSA Score can be viewed by anyone with com-puter access; this includes Insurance Companies, Customers, and most im-portantly D.O.T. CSA groups all violations into one of seven Basics (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) and determines the likely hood of that violation causing a crash (on a scale of 1-10). Once a violation occurs, the severity will be multi-plied by 3 for the first 12 months. When that same violation is 12-24 months old it will by multiplied by 2. Finally after that violation is 24-36 months old, it will be multiplied by 1. After 36 months, that violation falls off an individual’s CSA score all together. The seven Basics are: • Unsafe Driving—Speeding, reckless driving, seat belt, moving violations... • Fatigued Driving—Hours of service, record of duty status not current... • Driver Fitness—Training, experience, medical card, cdl expired... • Drug and Alcohol Fitness—DUI, DWI... • Vehicle Maintenance—Tires, lights, brakes, ... • Cargo Related—Load securement... • Crash Basic—Recordable Crashes... Your violations will be gathered, tracked, and compared to other drivers of similar sized companies by the D.O.T. and will be used to target unsafe drivers. CSA also now establishes that most companies will begin using a Pre-Employment Screen-ing Program (PSP), which will provide future employers with five years of crash da-ta and a three year history of every single violation. Employers can now use your violation history to determine your safety worthiness as a new hire. Because certain violations only come up in roadside inspection and certain drivers get more inspections than others, CSA uses time weighted roadside inspections to help lower scores. This puts increased emphasis on recent clean roadside inspec-tion because they help with lower individual CSA scores so much. Vehicle Maintenance will be discuss thoroughly in the coming pages.

SEAT BELT POLICY Evans Delivery recognizes that safety belt use helps to protect our Independent Contractors, reduces injuries, and controls operating cost. Studies have shown that sixty percent of all passengers killed in traffic crashes were unrestrained. If you are not wearing a safety belt, your chances of being killed are twenty-five per-cent higher if you are thrown from your vehicle. Reducing these costly injuries and deaths protect our Independent Contractors and can strengthen our effectiveness as a company. Moreover, safety belt use in Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV) is required by Federal Law. Seat belt violations are used in the Unsafe Driving Basic found in the Comprehen-sive Safety Accountability (CSA) Program. This particular category is most closely associated with crashes so violations, like failure to wear a seat belt while operat-ing a CMV, are very high in severity. Seat belts must be used at all times, no mat-ter how far the dispatch. By abiding to this policy you will protect yourself in the event of an accident first and foremost. Always wearing a seat belt will also pre-vent the Unsafe Driving CSA score from growing to unacceptable levels for yourself and the Evans Company. Please be aware that if you receive a violation (392.16) for failure to wear a seat belt while operating a CMV, you will be placed on probation for one year. Any ad-ditional seat belt violations during the probationary period are grounds for termi-nation. ———————————————————————————————————— I, [Driver’s name] __________________________________________ Have received and read the Evans Delivery Safety Belt Policy and have had the op-portunity to ask questions. I fully understand the company’s penalty for violation of this policy. I hereby pledge that I will use safety belts whenever driving or riding in a commer-cial motor vehicle or in any other vehicle when on company business. I also pledge that passengers of a CMV that I am driving will wear safety belts. ______________________________________________________________________________ Driver/Personnel Signature Unit #/location Date

DISTRACTED DRIVING POLICY We deeply value the safety and well-being of all people who work within our com-pany. Due to the increasing number of accidents nationwide resulting from the use of cell-phones and similar devices while driving, we are instituting a new policy. The policy applies any time a vehicle is operated for company business whether it is owned by the company, owned by the individual or operating on our behalf. 1. Drivers ( includes - company, owner operators, contract) and company person-nel are not permitted to use a cell phone, either hand-held or hands-free, while operating a motor vehicle on company business and/or on company time. This includes but is not limited to the following: • Answering or making phone calls. • Engaging in phone conversations • Reading or responding to e-mails or text messages. • Adjusting a Global Positioning System • Accessing the internet, cell phone, PDA, or lap top. 2. This policy also applies to use of PDAs. 3. While driving, calls cannot be answered and must be directed to voicemail. Lis-ten to the message when your vehicle is stopped/parked. If you are queued on a Nextel, again please be sure you are safely stopped before using the two-way to respond. Suggestions: Place devices in vibrate or silent mode before starting your vehicle. Change your voicemail greeting to explain possible delay in returning their call because you are currently driving and are abiding by your company’s distract-ed driving policy. 4. If a driver must make an emergency call (911), the vehicle should be parked in a safe location before making the call. If pulling off on a highway shoulder, 4-ways and/or warning devices should be utilized right away. Also be sure all brakes are engaged. Drivers and company personnel will be given two warnings. The third time an employee is found to be in violation of this policy, it is grounds for immedi-ate dismissal. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Please sign and return the bottom portion of this policy to acknowledge you have been notified and understand the company’s policy regarding use of cell phones or other communication devices. ________________________________________________________________________________ Driver/Personnel Signature Unit #/location Date

HOURS OF SERVICE POLICY Under CSA there are two stand alone basics that are vital to Evans maintaining a positive safety rating. Unsafe Driving and Driver Fatigue are two basics that can prompt a D.O.T. intervention if the company rises to the alert status. Evans re-maining out of the alert status in the Driver Fatigue basic is vital, which is why the Hours of Service Policy is so important to follow. Violations in the Driver Fatigue basic that must be avoided in roadside inspec-tions are the 11 Hour Rule, the 14 Hour Rule, the 60/70 Hour rule, and the Rec-ord of Duty Status not Current Rule. With the new CSA rules, a violation will fol-low an independent contractor for a three year period. Please be aware that if you receive a violation for Hours of Service or Record Duty Status not being current, you will be suspended for a 24 hour period of time, placed on probation for one year, and required to attend training with a trainer or take Hours of Service training in the Driver Portal. Any Additional violations during the probationary period will result in Lease Ter-mination. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Please sign and return the bottom portion of this policy to acknowledge you have been notified and understand the company’s policy regarding Hours of Service and Record of Duty Status not Current. ________________________________________________________________________________ Driver/Personnel Signature Unit #/location Date

EVANS DELIVERY COMPANY – POLICY ON DRIVER LOGS

NOTE: The following policy only applies to drivers of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles on and after January 4, 2004. The Safety De-partment will advise drivers immediately should any new changes in the hours of service rules be announced by the FMCSA or other government department with due authority. Driver Logs Policy Evans Delivery Company is strongly committed to full compliance with the current federal hours of service regulations, as well as any additional local reg-ulations, which may apply. The hours of service (logging) regulations are part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, specifically contained in Part 395 of the FMCSR. A major element of individual compliance with the hours of service regulations is regular completion of the company's specified log form, including all 11 re-quired items. Evans Delivery Company requires use of our Pre-printed logs with complete company name, set up for scanning purposes, provided by our company in the Safety Department. Drivers should use only the forms provided by Evans De-livery Company to keep track of their time. Following you will find guidelines on what Evans Delivery Company expects in completion of the required docu-ments. Driver Logs Procedures Sec. 395.1(e) allows for an exemption from Sec. 395.8 (standard log) require-ments if a driver can meet all of the following conditions: driver operates within a 100 air-mile radius of the normal work reporting loca-tion; driver (except a driver salesperson) returns to the work reporting location and is released from work within 12 consecutive hours; at least 10 consecu-tive hours off duty separate each 12 hours on duty; driver does not exceed 11 hours maximum driving time following 10 consecutive hours off duty; and mo-tor carrier maintains and retains for a period of 6 months accurate and true time records showing: the time the driver reports for duty each day; the total number of hours the driver is on duty each day; time driver is re-leased from work each day; and total time for the preceding 7 days in accord-ance with Sec. 395.8(j)(2) for drivers used for the first time or intermittently.

Drivers making use of the 100 air-mile exemption will only use the “weekly” log or time sheet. If certain drivers work locally some days and over the road on others, they must use the “daily” log 100% of time. Evans does not permit drivers to switch between the two.

13

EVANS DELIVERY COMPANY – POLICY ON DRIVER LOGS—Cont’ Using the Log Grid Time on the grid is entered in one of four different duty statuses. Following is a description of each of the types of duty statuses: Off duty: A driver may log off duty when he/she is relieved of responsibility for his/her job. (Example: days off, company authorized meal stops) Sleeper berth: Drivers may log time on this line that they actually spend in a sleeper berth which meets the requirements set forth in Sec. 393.76 of the FMCSR. Driving: A driver must log on this line all time spent at the 'driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation' (Sec. 395.2). On Duty (Not Driving): All other time when the driver is working or is in the ve-hicle and not in the sleeper or driving must be logged on line 4. On-duty time includes:

All time at a plant, terminal, facility, or other property, of a motor carrier or shipper or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier; all time inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any commercial motor vehicle at any time; all driving time as defined in the term 'driving time'; all time, other than driving time, in or upon any commercial motor vehicle except time spent resting in a sleeper berth; all time loading or unloading a commercial motor vehicle, supervising, or assisting in the loading or un-loading, attending a commercial motor vehicle being loaded or unloaded, remaining in readiness to operate the commercial motor vehicle, or in giving or receiving receipts for shipments loaded or unloaded; all time repairing, obtaining assistance, or remaining in attendance upon a disa-bled commercial motor vehicle; all time spent providing a breath sample or urine specimen, in-cluding travel time to and from the collection site, in order to comply with the random, reasona-ble suspicion, post-accident, or follow-up testing required by part 382 of this subchapter, when directed by a motor carrier; performing any other work in the capacity, employ, or service of a motor carrier; and performing any compensated work for a person who is not a motor carrier. (Sec. 395.2) Note: Please use medium weight blue or black ink pens and ruler, as this will facilitate the ease of reading on the scanner. Do not write the words "Off Duty" across the grid area; use the remark section for making nota-tions. The following 12 items must appear on any log: your assigned driver log id number; the graph grid with a 'remarks' section (can be used either vertically or horizontally); the date; the total miles driving on the 24-hour period covered by the log; the truck or tractor and trailer numbers; the name of the carrier; the carrier's main office address; the driver's signature/certification; the 24-hour period's starting time (midnight or noon); the name of the co-driver; the total hours (at the end of the grid); the shipping document number or name of shipper and commodity.

14

EVANS DELIVERY COMPANY – POLICY ON DRIVER LOGS—Cont’ When you begin to fill out your log, some items can be immediately entered, with the rest being filled in as your day progresses. To begin, fill in the following: The date (generally located at top left of the form) The full company name (this may already be preprinted on the log form you are using) The city and state address (again this may be preprinted on your form; if it’s not, the city name must be written out in full, but the state can be abbreviated) The truck or tractor and trailer numbers (generally located at the top of the form) The assigned driver log id number (found in the front of your binder) The co-driver's name, if applicable The shipping document numbers or the name of the shipper and commodity (generally located in the Remarks section of the form.) Drivers have a number of specific responsibilities under the regulations when it comes to keeping their log. They include: • Entries must be current to the last change of duty status. • Entries must be legible and in the driver's own handwriting. • Entries should include all of the required 11 items as described elsewhere in this procedure. • Entries on the log should be made using the time standard in effect at the driver’s terminal. • Entries for multiple days off or vacations can be consolidated onto a single log form, as long

as the consecutive dates are clearly shown. • Entries must be done in duplicate, according to the regulations.

Always double-check your calculations and math before you hand in a log. Once you have completed a daily log, you are required to submit the original to your terminal or forward it by mail to Evans Delivery Company along with your other paperwork. Evans requires drivers to turn in current logs with their paperwork as an additional re-quirement for processing settlements. A driver must have the current day’s log, current to the last change of duty status, plus the logs for the previous 7 consecutive days in his/her possession, according to Sec. 395.8 (k)(2). He/she must be able to produce these documents if requested to do so by a law enforcement official or DOT inspector. Logs will be retained (along with all supporting documents) at the Corporate office for the D.O.T. required 6 months.

15

HOS QUICK GUIDE 14 HOUR RULE • Once you start any kind of work, the 14 hour on duty time begins. This is

almost always logged as your Pre-Trip Inspection. The period in which you can drive extends out 14 hours from when you begin working. NOTHING can extend this time period so you can drive after 14 hours.

• Once you reach 14 hours, you MUST stop driving. No exceptions. 11 HOUR RULE • During that 14 hour period, you are allowed to drive up to 11 hours. • These eleven hours can be used consecutively or broken up with periods of

breaks and off duty time/sleeper birth time. • Once you reach your 14th hour on duty, you may not drive any more EVEN

if you have hours left in your 11 hour rule. 70 HOUR RULE • Thought of as the weekly limit. Rule states that you may not drive after be-

ing on duty for 70 combined hours over an 8 day period. • Limit is based upon a “rolling” or “floating” 8 day period where the oldest

day’s hours drop off at the end of each day when you calculate the total on-duty time for the past 8 days.

• When calculating the time at the start of each day, look at the last seven days worth of logs and begin counting the on duty time. This will include ALL time from when you log on at the beginning of the day until you log off at the end of your day before you take your daily reset. This will determine how much time you can drive.

10/34 RESET • The 10 hour reset applies to daily work and the 34 hour reset applies to

weekly work. • After you drive for 11 hours in your 14 hour on duty time frame, you must

take 10 consecutive hours off duty or in the sleeper birth before you drive again.

• Once you reach 70 hours of on duty time over an 8 day period, you may not drive again until you free up enough hours the following day or you can take 34 consecutive hours off to reset your weekly schedule. When you come back to work it will be the first day of a new work week.

16

MAINTENANCE Driver Vehicle Inspection report (DVIR): Attached to your Daily Driver Logs, inspection reports are to be turned in with your logs and must be completed as indicated on the log book. Quarterly Maintenance Reports: Quarterly Maintenance reports are required to be filled out monthly or every quar-ter. Completed forms should be turned in to your terminal manager at the end of each month/quarter. Pre-Trip / Post-Trip Inspection:

The most important 30 minutes that you will spend each day is the time you com-mit to a thorough a pre-trip and post-trip inspection. An effective pre-trip inspec-tion pays for itself by reducing the cost of repairs by catching problems while they remain small and hopefully before they become major. Time wasted broken down on the side of the highway or the very severe violation being out-of-service at a roadside inspection is usually. Its better that you find the violation rather than the D.O.T. inspector. With CSA and the high severity of most maintenance viola-tions, you cannot afford to receive preventable violations. Include the following in your pre-trip/post-trip inspection: • Check the air pressure in all tires. Almost all tire failures are due to improper

and unbalanced tire pressure. If you do not have a tire gauge, we will give you one. All tire violations carry an extremely high severity (8 out of 10) in CSA and bald tires and sidewall damage are on open invitation for a thorough road-side inspection.

• Check your brakes for proper adjustments. If you do not know how to adjust your breaks please see your terminal manager for assistance.

• Check all lights. Lights and lenses are available for free at your terminal. • Check for expired FHWA or chassis registration. • Do not assume that the container is locked to the chassis. Check all locks. It

is a good idea to carry with you plastic wire ties in case the locking device is broken or missing. Plastic wire ties are available in dispatch.

Annual—Bi Annual Vehicle Inspection Evans Requires you to have an Annual Vehicle Inspection by an approved garage to make sure you vehicle is safe working condition. We value the safety of our drivers and vehicles so much that we make a Bi-Annual Vehicle Inspection man-datory for all independent contracts. The six month inspection we pay for as long as completed in an Evan’s approved garage.

IFTA PROGRAM At Evans Delivery, we will report and pay quarterly IFTA taxes for owner op-erators. There is no charge to the owner operator either for the administra-tive work or the actual tax liability incurred. For this program to continue, we rely on the owner operators to purchase fuel in the correct states. Failure to do so will result in loss of the IFTA stick-er for the owner operator. Please help us keep this program going by pur-chasing your fuel in the correct states and turning in the required infor-mation accurately and promptly. Fuel Receipt Envelopes must be turned in weekly with your logs. Please pa-per clip these receipts together (Do not staple). We need copies of all fuel re-ceipts whether they are cash, credit card, debit card, or comdata receipts. Each Receipt must contain the following information: • Date and Time • City and State • Quantity and Price • Truck Number The Safety Staff is available to assist you with any questions or problems with IFTA tax reporting requirements: 1-800-666-7885 Extension 3020

DOT ROADSIDE INSPECTIONS D.O.T. Roadside Inspections

If your tractor is stopped for an inspection, you must turn in the inspection report to dispatch as soon as you return to your base terminal. If your tractor is cited for corrective repairs and/or corrections, the following procedure must be followed: Non Out-of-Service repairs: If you completed the corrective repair, you must fill out a repair certification form and turn it in with the inspection form. All receipt(s) for parts purchased must be attached to the form. If an outside vendor completed the corrective repair, a copy of the invoice stating the work was completed must be turned in with the inspection form in addition to a repair certification form. If repairs cannot be made at the inspection site: If the tractor or trailer (chassis) must be towed from the inspection site for major repairs, you must turn in a copy of the towing invoice and repair in-voice to your terminal manager. IF you are placed out-of-service, DO NOT LEAVE the facility until all repairs are completed and you are released by the DOT inspector. D.O.T. out-of-service notices are tracked by CSA and there are SEVERE penalties for jumping an out of service order for both the driver and the carrier. With the new CSA rules, jumping an out-of-service order is the most severe violation given out (10 out of 10). The Repair Receipt and Repair Certification Form must accompany the in-spection report and be mailed to the corporate office within 24 hours. NOTE: All stops for D.O.T. inspections must be recorded on your driver dai-ly log REWARDS PROGRAM If you receive a clean roadside inspection (zero violations), you will receive the following awards as well as lower your CSA Score in Driver Fatigue, Driver Fitness, Vehicle Maintenance, and the Cargo Securement Basic. Level 1—$50 Walmart gift card Level 2—$20 Walmart gift card Level 3—$10 Walmart gift card

19

DRIVER FITNESS

In CSA they don’t measure a Driver’s Fitness by how many push ups they can complete in 3 minutes. What D.O.T. will be targeting is if you have the proper qualifications to operate the vehicle you are driv-ing. If they find that you don’t have a specific qualification, a hefty violation and Out-Of-Order Service Order will follow. In order to avoid these unfortunate situations, The Evans Safety De-partment will send reminders to your agents as to when your CDL expires, when you truck inspection is due, and if you need Hazmat Training to name a few. What we try to stress to new independent contractors is that having your documents in compliance is YOUR responsibility. We will send reminders but ultimately, if you get stopped by the D.O.T. and are found out of compliance, that violation will follow you for the next three months. If your documents expire, it will also mean that you cannot be dispatched and you might lose pay and work while getting them updated. The only way to reduce a violation in this CSA Basic is time and clean roadside inspections. If you set your appointments at least a week early for renewals to account for the unknown, you will never have to worry about your driver documents being in order at a road-side inspection. Having all your qualifications in compliance is also one step closer to a clean roadside inspection. A clean roadside in-spection which will help your CSA score for the Driver Fitness Basic, Driver Fatigue, Vehicle Maintenance, and Cargo Maintenance as well!

SECURITY

ENROUTE DRIVER SECURITY As a result of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, the Evans Delivery companies have placed se-curity as a top priority. A major part of that priority focus is on the safety and security of our drivers. The world of the professional driver, whether it is alone on a highway, in a rest area or truck stop, or driving in an industrial part of a major city, can be a dangerous place. Professional drivers, their vehicles, and the loads they haul are most vulnerable while in transit. Opportunities abound for criminals, cargo thieves, terrorists, or other individuals or groups to victimize drivers in transit. But there are steps drivers can take to help reduce risk and increase personal security. The following security tips must be followed by all in-transit drivers. • Maintain communication with your dispatch, call your dispatch any time you: • Change your planned route. • Make an unscheduled stop. • Are running late due to traffic, weather etc. • Have an accident or breakdown.

• Never discuss load related information such as the type of cargo, pick up and delivery loca-

tions or times or routes traveled with anyone while out on the road. Drivers should be very suspicious of anyone asking about their load or destination.

• Stop or park only in safe well-lit areas where other trucks are present, such as reputable

truck stops or high traffic well lit rest areas. Always lock the vehicle. • Be suspicious of anyone asking or signaling you to stop. A frequent ploy used by hijackers is

to create a scenario that compels a driver to stop. If you must stop due to a blocked roadway or serious accident, notify the authorities and/or your dispatch before you leave your vehi-cle.

• Inspect your vehicle. Conduct a through pre-trip inspection before you start your trip. Also

conduct an inspection of your equipment after each stop or rest period. In addition to checking for safety defects a driver should also check the load seals and look for anything suspicious on the vehicle.

• Prepare and execute a well thought out trip plan. Drivers hauling hazardous materials must

be routed so they avoid heavily populated areas, bridges and tunnels. Keep your route as direct as possible. Never take a loaded trailer home or park in an unsecured or unauthor-ized area.

• Secure the trailer doors with a padlock and/or seal. Keep tractor doors locked and windows rolled up.

21

SECURITY (cont.) CARGO SECURITY Whether it’s a load of personal computers, a full truckload of pharmaceuticals, five thousand pounds of fish; loaded trailers containing virtually any type of cargo are potential targets for theft. Some estimates place the annual cargo loss in the U.S at 10 billion. Additionally as the value of cargo increases the number of cargo thefts rise. Costs from cargo thefts include not only the actual value of the cargo itself, but also: • Increased insurance premiums. • Loss of profit. • Loss of customers and business opportunities. • Interruption of freight distribution. • Increased overall supply chain costs. Cargo theft is an equal opportunity crime, street gangs, carrier employees, organized crime and terrorists all actively involved in the trade of stolen freight. They are becoming more organized, relying more and more on inside information and advance technology. The following tips are will help drivers have a better understanding of how to maintain cargo security. • Always conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection; this helps prevent breakdowns leaving you

stranded in dangerous areas. • Never leave a load unattended. • Never accept or allow anyone to place any unauthorized or undocumented cargo on your

unit. View anyone who asks to load any unscheduled freight aboard your unit as highly sus-picious and notify your dispatcher and / or authorities immediately.

• Drivers must supervise all loading operations, do not accept over, short or damaged freight without authorization from your dispatcher.

• Be sure to get only the type of freight and exact number of pieces that are listed on the ship-ping papers.

• Cargo should be free of any visual damage and once loaded it should be secured from shift-ing or falling.

• All load related documentation must be thoroughly reviewed and verified by the driver. Any discrepancies must be reported and resolved before the paperwork is signed and the trailer sealed.

• Drivers must be especially alert when leaving a shipper because a vast majority of hijack-ings and cargo theft incidents occur within a load point of origin.

• Be especially aware around traffic signals and on/off ramps. These are prime hijack areas. • Call your dispatch at regular intervals throughout the day including when loaded and ready

to leave the shipper. No Stop Rule—Cargo at rest is Cargo at Risk • To minimize the likelihood of theft and or cargo hijackings, all trucks should be dispatched

under a “No Stop” directive requiring that the load should not left be unattended for the first 200 miles of the trip, which is considered the RED ZONE.

• According to Freight Watch Group, statistics show that 80% of all cargo theft occurs in the Red Zone.

22

SECURITY (cont.)

INCIDENTS AND RESPONSES Even if you follow all the security guidelines you may be faced with a dangerous situation. If this occurs you must know how to respond. Remember you personal safety is of primary con-cern. Some types of cargo thefts are:

Armed robberies. • Most common type of robbery. • Theft of loaded trailers from trucking facility. • Theft of a vehicle after thieves compel a driver to make an unplanned stop. • Theft of a vehicle when a driver stops (signal lights, truck stops, rest areas etc. Burglaries. • Occur at terminal and shipper facilities.

Counterfeit paperwork and fraud. • Generally, this method is used by independent contractors who transport chassis / contain-

ers to and from container terminals and intermodal rail yards. The driver presents counter-feit paperwork to the security personnel and ultimately makes off with an entire container of valuable freight.

Grab and run. • Often used by thieves who have inside information about a load of expensive, high tech mer-

chandise • Criminals break into a stopped truck and off-load as much freight as possible before the

truck driver returns. If you are a victim or see a cargo theft in progress don’t be a hero, your safety is primary. Ob-serve and remember as much as you can of such things as the height and weight of the crimi-nals. Type and color of clothes etc. Vehicle descriptions etc. leave the area and call the authori-ties and your dispatch as soon as possible.

23

ALCOHOL & DRUG POLICY

This company has an obligation to its independent contractors and the public at large to take the necessary and reasonable steps to assure safety in the work place. The use of alcohol and drugs poses a serious threat to all of us and we intend to do all we can to maintain a safe, healthful and productive working environment. Therefore, the company has adopted the follow-ing policies: 1. ALCOHOL The possession, use, purchases, sale or transfer of alcohol on company property (including parking lots), or in company vehicles (either owned by or leased to the company), or while on company business, is strictly prohibited. Independent contractors may not consume alcohol on or off company property during working hours, lunch periods, or break or relief periods. Inde-pendent contractors may not report to work under the influence of alcohol. "Under the influ-ence", for purposes of this policy, means that the independent contractor is affected by alcohol or drugs, or the combination of both, in any detectable manner. This may be established by professional opinion, a scientifically valid test, or, in some cases, by observation of impairment of physical or mental ability such as slurring or speech, difficulty in maintaining balance, etc. 2. PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AND LEGAL DRUGS. The company recognizes that, on occasion, independent contractors must use prescription or over-the-counter drugs for medical purposes. If the medication or drugs are known or adver-tised as possibly affecting or impairing judgment, coordination, or other senses (including dizzi-ness or drowsiness), or may adversely affect the independent contractor's ability to perform work in a safe and productive manner, the independent contractor must notify the company's Safety Department prior to starting work or entering the company's facilities. The company will decide if the independent contractor can remain at work, or on the premises, and what work restrictions, if any are deemed necessary. 3. ILLEGAL DRUGS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. Illegal drugs and substances are those which cannot be legally obtained, including controlled dangerous substances and controlled substance analogs, as well as those drugs which, alt-hough legal, have been illegally obtained; i.e. prescribed drugs not being used for prescribed purposes, including amphetamines and barbiturates. Examples of illegal drugs include mariju-ana, cocaine, "crack", heroin, morphine, phencyclidine (PCP), hallucinogens, narcotics, etc. The possession, use, purchase, sale, or transfer of any amount of an illegal drug or substance on company property (including company parking lots), in company vehicles as defined above or while on company business is strictly prohibited. Independent contractors may not use or con-sume illegal drugs or substances on or off company property during working hours, lunch peri-ods or break or relief periods. Independent contractors may not report to work "under the influ-ence" of illegal drugs or substances. "Under the influence" is defined as it is above for alcohol and may also be established through professional opinion, a scientifically valid test or, in some cases, by observation of impairment of physical or mental ability such as slurring of speech, difficulty in maintaining balance, etc.

25

ALCOHOL & DRUG POLICY (cont.)

4. DISCHARGE. Violation of any of the above rules is grounds for immediate discharge. In addition, independ-ent contractors convicted of illegal drug charges will also be discharged and the company re-serves the right to take such action if independent contractors are involved with illegal drugs or substances in a manner considered detrimental to the interests of the company such as if the independent contractor engages in the purchase or sale of illegal drugs away from the compa-ny's premises on the independent contractor's own non-working time. 5. TESTING OF INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND APPLICANTS. As a condition of leasing, all independent contractors must submit to a substance abuse test under any of the following circumstances: A. The company has reasonable suspicion that the independent contractor is under the influ-ence of alcohol or drugs. B. The independent contractor is involved in a work-related accident where human error may be a factor. C. The independent contractor has tested positively for the presence of alcohol or drugs within the prior 12-month period. D. The test is conducted as part of an independent contractor medical examination, if the ex-amination is part of the company's established policy routinely scheduling medical examina-tions. Positive test results will result in immediate lease termination. Any independent contractor who refuses to submit to testing will also be subject to lease termination. We have adapted a zero tolerance drug policy. As a condition of hiring, all applicants will be required to submit to a substance abuse test. If the results of the test are positive, or if the applicant refuses to consent to the test, the applica-tion will not be considered further. All testing for alcohol and drugs complies with the provisions of FMCSR Part 382. 6. RE-ENTRY INTO THE WORKFORCE. Any independent contractor who leaves the company, either through layoff, resignation, termi-nation or disability for a period not exceeding six (6) months, will be required to submit to a substance abuse test upon re-employment or re-entry into the workforce, just as described above for applicants. Positive test results will be treated in the same manner as are those for applicants.

ALCOHOL & DRUG POLICY (cont.)

7. DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. Independent contractors are prohibited from bringing drug paraphernalia onto company proper-ty, including parking lots, at any time. Any independent contractor violating this rule shall be subject to immediate discipline, up to and including termination of lease. 8. REPORTING VIOLATIONS. Each independent contractor is required to immediately report any violation of the Company's Policy on Alcohol, Drugs and Controlled Substances to his or her supervisor. An independent contractor who fails to report such a violation is subject to disciplinary action, up to and includ-ing discharge. 9. INSPECTION OF LOCKERS, POSSESSIONS AND VEHICLES. When the company has reason to believe that an independent contractor is in violation of the Company's Alcohol and Drug Policy, the independent contractor may be asked to submit im-mediately to a search of his or her person and/or to make his or her locker, lunch box, brief-case, purse, packages, personal belongings, desk, vehicles or any other receptacle he or she us-es or has access to, available for inspection. Such search or inspection shall always be con-ducted in the presence of at least one witness other than the company representative perform-ing the search or inspection, and the contents resulting from such search or inspection shall be inventoried. Entry onto company premises, including parking lots, constitutes consent to search and inspection. Refusal to consent to search or inspection shall be considered grounds for which an independent contractor may be disciplined, up to and including discharge. 10. PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE NOT APPLICABLE. The discipline to be imposed for violation of the Company's Policy on Alcohol, Drugs and Con-trolled Substances shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Policy. Written Explanation of Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing FMCSR Part 382 Under Section 382.601, each employer shall provide information explaining Part 382 to each driver prior to the implementation date and to each driver hired thereafter and shall obtain a certificate of receipt from each driver.

SETTLEMENTS & ESCROW

All Owner Operators receive weekly settlement checks. We do not hold back settlements. All paperwork must be complete and received in the field office before any pay is released. Deadlines for turning in paperwork will vary by office. Please see your local office for their schedule. Evans Delivery requires a $1,500 escrow account for all Own-er Operators. Deductions of $50 per week will be taken until the $1,500 per unit up to a maximum of $5000 (multiple units) balance is reached. Under no circumstances is bor-rowing allowed against an escrow account. Interest is paid on the balance at the same rate paid on the government t-bills. Interest is paid when the escrow is released upon termination of the lease. Escrow is released 45 days after a termination notification and all company property is returned to our office including placards . A copy of the Independent Contractor Settlement Report follows.

31

COMDATA CARDS & COMCHECKS

Comdata cards will be issued to those Owner Operators that request them at the end of the first two weeks as a member of the Evans Delivery team. At the discretion of the terminal manager or agent, Comchecks may be issued during the first two weeks to cover some fuel costs. There are fees associated with both the Comcards and Comchecks. Comcards fees will vary according to the location used. Cur-rently the fees are running between $1.75 & $2.00, but these fees are subject to change. The use of Comchecks to advance Owner Operators money due on settlement checks is discouraged. A minimum fee of $15.00 is assessed on all Comchecks issued for this purpose. Fees may be higher for large amounts. Any fee above $15.00 will be disclosed to the Owner Operator prior to issuance of a Comcheck. On rare occasions, approval may be given to spread repayment over multiple weeks. If any repayment takes over 4 weeks, an additional fee will be assessed.

INSURANCE PROGRAMS TIPS TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER INSURANCE COVERAGE ON YOUR UNIT: (please talk to your agent or the safety department if you need insurance):

PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGE

Collision – This is for damage done to your tractor when it collides with other vehicles (your fault) or other objects (again, your fault). Comprehensive – This covers damage to your tractor that results from something other than a collision with another vehicle. As examples, damage caused by vandals; rock breaking your windshield. It also includes coverage for theft. Things to ask your insurance agent: Make sure the insured value of your vehicle is realistic, check on the “Blue Book” value, or inquire with several dealerships on a trade-in value. Ask your agent about the deductible that may apply to any loss; a higher deductible may help lower the cost of your monthly premium. Ask if towing and recovery charges are covered and to what extent. Many times owners of older year tractors think due to the book value of their tractor it is a waste of money to keep physical damage coverage but if you have spoke with a wrecker service recently you will find that tow costs in the event of a roll over will jump in to the thousands of dollars. You are re-sponsible for the portion of the bill that applies to your tractor, most lease agreements specifically explain that damage to your tractor, and associated costs are your re-sponsibility. NON-TRUCKING COVERAGE (sometimes referred to as Bobtail) This is liability coverage (when you damage another’s property or injure someone) while you are on your own time and not under dispatch. Most insurance companies define “under dis-patch” as your time en route to pick up a load, your time en route to your delivery, and your time en route to your home domicile, as long as you do not deviate from your normal course of travel. Collision and Non-trucking Coverage is available through settlement de-ductions as well as other insurance programs. Ask your agent about group plan options, or call 800-666-7885 and ask for the Safety Depart-ment for additional details on available coverage. DON’T WAIT FOR A PROBLEM TO CATCH YOU OFF GUARD. VERIFY YOUR COVERAGE AND GET PEACE OF MIND! Note: A unit under dispatch is covered for liability, cargo, and interchange equipment by your motor carrier’s insurance policies.

34

ACCIDENT REPORTING NOTE: Each truck leased to Evans Delivery Company MUST have an accident kit included in the cab. If you do not have a kit please obtain one from your terminal manager immediately. There are accident instructions also included on your daily logbook.

CENTRAL OFFICE REPORTING: DEBORAH BARCLAY-RAYMOND Phone: (800) 456-7885 x3206 Cell: (610) 310-3072 E-MAIL [email protected] PLEASE NOTE: You will be connected to the West Motor Freight office when calling to report an ac-cident. This is another division of Evans Delivery and handles all accident report-ing. When calling the (800) 456-7885 number for Debbie, there is a dispatcher availa-ble 24/7 who can patch you to her home phone if after hours. If you can’t reach a dispatcher for some reason, call Debbie on her cell phone directly. Helpful hints for obtaining preliminary information when involved in an accident: 1.No matter how minor you may think the accident, the company needs to make a record. Call as soon as possible. The driver should always make a written state-ment in addition to reporting by phone. A claim number will be issued at the time of the call. The company would rather have the driver call directly than the agent. 2.Be sure to use your accident kit. A camera is contained in the kit. Try to take a few pictures right away before you are required to move the vehicles to a safe position by the police. The driver will be reminded on how to use the camera ef-fectively at the scene of the accident when speaking with the claims department. Please use the postage paid envelope to send the camera into the Safety Depart-ment. 3. It is important to get the investigating (reporting) officer’s name and badge number and his contact phone number. Please do not assume this infor-mation will be available on the piece of paper the officer gives you. (Sometimes it is not legible and we cannot clearly read the handwriting.) 4. Our insurance company also requires us to know the trip number, cargo, origin and destination. 5. Always give the officer (800) 456-7885 x 3206 as a contact phone number with your insurance card.

35

PASSENGER POLICY

POLICY PROVISIONS: After completing 90 days probationary period with the com-pany, a driver may request that he/she be allowed to carry a passenger in the trac-tor with them. The request should be in writing, addressed to the Safety Depart-ment and specifically identify the driver making the request, the identity of the pas-senger, the relationship of the passenger to the driver, and the period (not to exceed two weeks) for which authorization is requested. The following general guidelines are established: The passenger must be at least eighteen years of age OR if the passenger is the son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter (“direct descendant”) of the driver the pas-senger must be at least 14 years of age. A copy of the birth certificate or drivers li-cense of the passenger will be required proof of age. Those passengers who are at least eighteen years of age must sign a release. The release must be signed in the presence of an Evans manager OR if that is not practical must be signed and nota-rized. For a “direct descendant” of the driver who is between the age of fourteen and eighteen, the release form must be signed by both parents (legal guardians) of the minor. (Evans may, at its sole discretion, make special accommodations if only one parent of the minor is living.) Evans management retains the right to refuse or suspend the passenger privileges at any time and for any reason. The driver’s safety record will be considered when granting any passenger privileges. No passengers will be authorized between November 1 and March 31. Each authorization will have a specific starting date and ending date. The ef-fective period of the authorization shall not exceed two weeks unless the pas-senger is the spouse of the driver in which case special privileges may be granted. The same passenger may only receive 2 authorizations in a calendar year.

You may be required to purchase or provide proof of passenger insurance. If your request for a passenger is granted you will receive a written authorization from Evans’s Safety Department. The authorization will include the identity of the driver, the identity of the passenger, the effective date, the expiration date, and the signature of a company officer. A copy of the authorization should be on the person of the driver during the entire period for which authorization is valid. Please allow a minimum of one week for the processing of any request.
