and its clients hold as the most important factors of service
quality, applying a point system to each carrier based on cost and
quality. NLM tracks shipments for more than 450 ground, air freight
and air charter carriers, and develops a "scorecard" on each
carrier that is shared with clients and carriers each month. NLM is
non-asset based and works in partnership with an extensive carrier
base to manage expedited freight. The Carrier Awards are presented
in the following categories: Hard To Cover Support, On-Time
Performance, Carrier Excellence and Special Recognition. For each

performance-related metrics. NLM utilizes its Carrier Excellence
Program to continuously evaluate carriers based on a variety of
performance metrics. Winners of the Carrier Excellence Award are
determined by Carrier Excellence Program scores across all of NLM's
business in which they participate. The monthly scorecards carriers
received in 2005 were reviewed for the highest scores in each
category. "It's a pleasure to recognize Stonepath Logistics with an
