AmeriQuest Promotes Bill McCouch to Vice President of Business Development, MRO Services

January 9, 2006, Cherry Hill, NJ – AmeriQuest announced today the promotion of Bill McCouch to Vice President of Business Development, MRO Services. Bill formerly held the title Director of Procurement Services for AmeriQuest, heading the private fleet division. Bill is heavily involved in AmeriQuest’s FleetXchange program, which has experienced more than 300% growth over the last three years. FleetXchange gives fleet managers access to leveraged buying power that results in the best pricing available. Its electronic business platform enables users to streamline their transportation and logistics operations and reduce administrative costs.

With a total of 24 years experience in the truck transportation industry, Bill brings a proven track record of success to his new role. Bill cultivated much of his experience during his 18 year career at Ryder System, Inc. His responsibilities included field operations, sales management, logistics, and warehousing operations. He then moved on to purchasing, where he developed and deployed strategic sourcing programs and initiatives.

Since his arrival at AmeriQuest in 2001, Bill has seriously impacted the increase in participation of the programs offered. Moving forward in his new role as Vice President of Business Development, MRO Services, he will lead the private fleet industry and assume the duty of field sales supervision, supporting the Leasing and Common Carrier divisions.

“I am privileged to be part of a premier team of participants, suppliers, and co-workers whose dedication and vision has revealed unprecedented support of our business model. The diversity of our unique business model positions us to promptly support the changing needs of our customers.
