			<title>Texas E-Commerce Businesses Turn to Purolator USA as Canadian Market Logistics Experts</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />March 16, 2010 – Dallas, TX – With recession-weary consumers returning to the marketplace, and increasingly looking to the Internet for choice and value, Purolator USA has become the “logistics provider of choice” for Texas e-commerce businesses that ship regularly to customers in Canada. Texas businesses rely on Purolator’s experience in the Canadian market, guaranteed service and competitive pricing. </p>
		<p>“A consumer in Canada does not particularly care that a business in Texas has a few extra hurdles to go through to get their package delivered on time,” says Sharon Siar, manager of Purolator USA’s Dallas-Ft. Worth branch.  “That customer only understands value and service:  they want their goods delivered on time and at a reasonable – preferably free – cost!  Texas businesses are increasingly realizing that Purolator is the logical choice to make this happen,” she added.</p>
		<p>Purolator USA is uniquely positioned to service southwestern businesses because of its distribution networks within the region.  “Purolator will pick up your packages and have them sorted and on their way to the border in a fraction of the time of most of our competitors,” Siar noted. </p>
		<p>“Prior to packages arriving at the border, Purolator is able to consolidate smaller shipments into one larger shipment, which then moves through Customs as a single unit,” Siar explained.  “This is an enormous time saver.  And once the consolidated shipment is cleared for entry, it is broken down and immediately fed into our extensive Canadian network.” </p>
		<p>Purolator offers customers a similar process to manage their returns .  “Purolator offers customers the same high level of service for shipments heading back to the U.S. as we do for northbound goods,” Siar said.  And, given that the typical business will have a returns rate of up to 20 percent, it’s very important to have an efficient process in place to meet customers’ returns expectations.</p>
		<p>“A dependable logistics provider is critical in the fast-paced, customer-driven e-commerce world,” Siar said.  “Businesses understand that if they fail to meet expectations, they will lose customers.  By partnering with Purolator USA, businesses find that they can often exceed expectations.” <br />For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com . <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA </b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market. </p>

Worth, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Raleigh/Durham. </p> , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/texas_ecommerce_businesses_turn_to_purolator_usa_as_canadian_market_logistics_experts_3_16_2010.aspx</link>

			<title>Purolator USA Offers Logistics Tips for Surviving the Holiday Season</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>JERICHO, NY - September 8, 2009 – Shipment consolidation, distribution center bypass and schedule flexibility are among the logistics tips that Purolator USA is promoting as keys to surviving the upcoming holiday shipping season.  The post-Labor Day period marks the unofficial ramp up for the holiday shipping season, with businesses nationwide making decisions about their transportation logistics. <br />  <br />Purolator USA, a leading provider of cross border logistics has specific recommendations for businesses that have significant customer bases in Canada.  “Holiday shipping can be a trying time for any business,” says Purolator USA Director of Sales John Jensen.  “But businesses that need to reach their customers in Canada must also contend with the border clearance process, and also ensure that their U.S.-based logistics provider has a distribution network throughout Canada. <br />  <br />“Unfortunately,” Jensen added, “too many businesses find out the hard way, when their shipments arrive after December 25, that they should have asked some hard questions <em>before</em> signing on with a particular carrier.” <br />  <br />Among the tips that Purolator has suggested to help facilitate holiday logistics: <br />  <br />*<b>Consolidation.</b>  Consolidation can help manage costs and save time.  Through the consolidation process, smaller shipments are combined into a single larger shipment.  That single shipment moves through the Canadian border clearance process as a single transaction.  Once cleared for entry into Canada, the larger shipment is broken down and fed into Purolator’s extensive Canadian distribution network. <br />  <br />*<b>Avoid unnecessary delays and stopovers.</b>  Businesses that scramble to meet their holiday shipping deadlines are often disheartened to know that, once loaded onto their shipper’s truck, packages can sit idle for days, waiting for the next link in the supply chain.  Canada-bound shipments are particularly prone to time consuming and costly distribution center stopovers, since most U.S. logistics providers do not have networks or assets in Canada to ensure an uninterrupted delivery schedule.  Purolator USA is able to offer distribution center bypass (DC Bypass) options for most Canada-bound shipments.  This is because of Purolator’s extensive delivery network in Canada, which allows for seamless deliveries to even the most remote regions of the country.  DC bypass can eliminate as much as 7-14 days from a shipping schedule. <br />  <br />*<b>Use an experienced logistics provider. </b> Cross border logistics involves a high degree of expertise about the U.S. and Canadian border clearance processes.  Each government operates “preferred shipping” programs designed to facilitate the clearance process for known shippers that meet certain requirements.  Equally important, a qualified cross border provider will have a network in place in Canada, to ensure that goods meet their critical holiday deadlines. <br />  <br />*<b>Faster is not always better.</b>  While it’s difficult to avoid the need for last minute rush deliveries, most holiday shipments can be transported via less expensive service options. Many businesses can cut costs simply by rethinking shipping options.  Does a package really require express air service, or can it arrive a few days later at a considerable cost savings?</p>
		<p>*<b>Partner with your logistics provider.</b>  Many transportation managers make the mistake of thinking that they are “locked in” to a specific delivery calendar or pricing package, and plan their holiday shipping schedule around their logistics provider.  In fact, a good logistics provider will work around their customers’ needs.  For example, Purolator USA sales professionals work with each customer to (a) understand the unique needs of that customer; (b) develop a customized plan that meets those needs; and (c) maintain a high degree of flexibility so that when the unexpected happens, the problem can be quickly resolved without any major impact to the delivery schedule. <br />  <br /><b>*Plan for Post-Holiday Returns.</b>  The average business will see as much as seven percent of its gross sales come back during the post-holiday returns season. Smart businesses are turning their returned goods into profit centers by offering them for resale in the secondary outlet or refurbished markets.  An experienced logistics provider will offer options to their customers for handling returns.  Purolator USA is able to offer customers comprehensive returns management services, including the transportation of returned goods back to the U.S. <br />  <br />Any business interested in exploring their holiday shipping options can contact Purolator USA at 1-888-511-4811, or visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s leading overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market.</p>

			<title>Purolator USA Names Sharon Siar as Dallas-Ft. Worth Branch Manager</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />October 1, 2009 – JERICHO, NY – Purolator USA, a leading provider of U.S.-Canada logistics services has named Sharon Siar, a 20-year veteran of the transportation and logistics industry, as the new branch manager of its  Dallas-Ft. Worth regional processing facility.</p>
		<p>In her new position, Siar will report to Purolator’s Western District Manager Christopher Antonelli.  Siar will have responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Dallas-Ft. Worth branch, which is a 7,000 square foot facility located in Grapevine.  The facility processes small package and express freight deliveries between the United States and Canada, and also within the United States.</p>
		<p>“Sharon brings extensive management and logistics experience to her new position,” says Antonelli.  “Sharon is a strong manager with a results-oriented, hands-on approach to business.  She will provide critical direction and leadership to her team at a time when the cross border logistics industry is beginning to emerge from the downturn caused by the global economic recession.” </p>
		<p>Prior to joining Purolator, Siar most recently worked in the start up and training of Carthage, TX-based JR Transportation Solutions’ brokerage division.  Prior to that, Sharon was a training professional with Grapevine, TX-based Bull Truck/Bull Transportation. Sharon has deep roots in the Texas logistics industry that go back almost 20 years, when she joined Forth Worth-based Design Transportation/Design Carriers. </p>
		<p>Cross border trade is a significant source of economic activity for Texas businesses.  During 2007, more than $27 billion in goods and services crossed the border, which marked a 20 percent increase over 2006 levels.  Many Texas businesses have recognized the economic potential of the Canadian marketplace, and have expanded their customer bases across the border.</p>
		<p>Purolator USA is the preferred logistics partner of many of these businesses because of Purolator’s expertise in the Canadian market, including proficiency in the border clearance process as well as its deep distribution network throughout that country.

			<title>Purolator USA Offers Southwest Businesses Easy Access to Canadian Market</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>September 21, 2009 – Jericho, NY -- Purolator USA, a leading provider of cross border logistics, has expanded service to the Canadian border, making it easier than ever for Los Angeles and other regional businesses to reach the Canadian market.  Purolator, which maintains a full service processing center in Los Angeles, is now operating dual linehauls – via air and ground -- to its Chicago and Seattle induction facilities.</p>
		<p>“Businesses across the region are realizing the economic potential of the Canadian market, and Purolator is helping to make the cross border logistics process as seamless and efficient as possible,” says Los Angeles Branch Manager Santino Anderson.  “Our expedited service to the border means that Purolator shipments arrive at the border, navigate the customs clearance process, and move into their Canadian distribution network faster than shipments processed by most competitors.  This is a tremendous time saver for our customers.”</p>
		<p>Canada is an increasingly important source of revenue for businesses throughout the southwestern United States.  The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that during 2008, California exported almost $18 billion in goods to Canada, Arizona exported $2.3 billion and Nevada businesses sent more than $940 million in goods across the border.  As the U.S. economy begins to rebound from the nationwide recession, Canada and its 35 million potential consumers will be an important source of growth and opportunity.</p>
		<p>Unlike most U.S.-based logistics providers, Purolator maintains an extensive distribution network throughout Canada, which provides direct access throughout that country, even to the most remote regions.  This strong Canadian presence often means that U.S. shipments can reach their final destination without having to ensure a costly and time-consuming distribution center stopover.</p>
		<p>“Our DC Bypass capabilities, along with our consolidation services can shave several days off a typical distribution calendar,” Anderson noted.   “With so many of our customers still feeling the effects of the economic recession, Purolator has some great services available to help control costs.</p>
		<p>“Our goal is to offer customers the logistics plan they need at a price they can afford, with a level of customer service that exceeds their expectations,” Anderson said.</p>

			<title>Purolator USA Offers Advanced Tracking Capabilities for Medical Device Shipments</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />
				<b>JERICHO, NY – October 7, 2009 --</b>  Medical device manufacturers can have 100 percent visibility and tracking capabilities of their shipments – even in most remote regions of the U.S. and Canada – by taking advantage of Purolator USA’s extensive distribution networks and technology capabilities.  Purolator, a leading provider of cross border logistics is increasingly recognized within the medical device industry as a preferred shipper because of  these capabilities. </p>
		<p>“Medical devices are unique from other types of shipments because of the urgent, sometimes critical, need for timely and seamless delivery,” says Purolator Director of Sales John Jensen.  “Frankly, there is no room for error when it comes to medical device logistics, and manufacturers are increasingly turning to Purolator because of our proven track record.”</p>
		<p>Purolator recently introduced a new client portal to customers, which offers significant enhancements to its tracking capability.  Through the client portal, customers have complete oversight of their shipment’s chain of command as well as to customs documentation and transit updates.  The portal also offers customers access to their billing and shipping histories. </p>
		<p>Medical devices manufacturers also recognize Purolator’s seamless delivery capabilities throughout Canada.  Unlike most cross border logistics providers, Purolator maintains an extensive distribution network throughout Canada.  This means that a shipment is able to travel from the U.S., across the border and to its final destination without ever leaving Purolator’s scope of control.  “Our customers never have to wonder where their package is,” says Jensen.  “With Purolator, visibility is always just a mouse click or two away.” </p>
		<p>Purolator’s presence throughout Canada also means that there is very little interference from “blackout areas” that may affect other carriers that do not have the same level of investment in their Canadian routes.  Regardless of where a medical device is headed – even to the most remote regions of Canada – a manufacturer will have 24/7 tracking capability. </p>
		<p>Purolator maintains a team of customer service representatives who develop customized logistics plans that take into account each customer’s unique needs.  Medical device manufacturers, because of their specific logistics needs, are able to take advantage of Purolator’s wide range of delivery options and flexibility. </p>

			<title>Purolator USA Facility Approved for Participation in Preferred Cargo Screening Program</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />
				<b>JERICHO, NY – September 29, 2009 – </b>Purolator USA has announced that its Itasca, IL processing facility has been approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to participate in its Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP).  As a CCSP participant, Purolator will be able to screen customers’ air shipments at its Itasca facility, so that upon arrival at the airport, shipments can be quickly loaded on to their designated flights.</p>
		<p>Earlier this year, a federal mandate took effect requiring that at least 50 percent of all cargo traveling aboard U.S. passenger planes undergo a security screening process.  That mandate will increase to 100 percent in August 2010.  These requirements were part of the comprehensive recommendations made by the 9-11Commission, and approved by Congress in 2007. </p>
		<p>According to the TSA, as much as 12 million pounds of cargo is transported each day on passenger aircraft.  The sudden influx of cargo needing to be screened has been a source of concern that bottlenecks and delays at airport screening checkpoints will cause serious disruption to the air cargo supply chain.  To address these concerns, the TSA developed the CCSP to allow qualified logistics and transportation providers to pre-screen shipments, thereby moving the screening process up the supply chain.</p>
		<p> “We are very pleased to have our CCSP certification in place,” says Purolator USA Regional Manager Randy Stomp.  “By screening our customers’ shipments at our Itasca facility, we will be able to ensure that shipments arrive at the airport cleared for takeoff and ready to be loaded onto their scheduled flights. <br />“As a certified pre-screening facility, we can ensure our customers who ship via air the same high standards and delivery performance that they expect from Purolator,” Stomp added.  “Most logistics providers cannot offer this service to their customers, and instead must endure the uncertainty and disruption of airport screening queues.” </p>
		<p>Purolator received its CCSP certification following and extensive application and review process administered by the TSA.  To date, CCSP approval has been awarded to only 450 locations.  Stomp said that Purolator has plans to seek CCSP approval for additional processing facilities.</p>
		<p>“The TSA is limiting participation in this program to the ‘best of the best,” Stomp said.  “We are proud that the TSA has recognized Purolator as being qualified to meet its high standards, and we look forward to using our CCSP approval to better serve our customers.” </p>

<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />Jericho, NY - September 23, 2009 --  Automotive aftermarket manufacturers can have 100 percent visibility and tracking capabilities of their shipments – even in the most remote regions of the U.S. and Canada – by taking advantage of Purolator USA’s extensive distribution networks and technology capabilities.  Purolator, a leading provider of cross border logistics is recognized throughout the automotive aftermarket industry as a preferred shipper because of these capabilities. </p>
		<p>“Aftermarket manufacturers rely on Purolator to provide hassle-free, uninterrupted delivery of their shipments to Canada,” says Purolator USA Director of Sales John Jensen.  “Very often we are delivering parts to service a fleet or delivery vehicle that cannot operate without that part.  There is very little margin for a disruption in the supply chain, and we are pleased to meet our aftermarket customers’ expectations. <br />Purolator recently introduced a new client portal to customers, which offers significant enhancements to its tracking capability.  Through the client portal, customers have complete oversight of their shipment’s chain of command as well as to customs documentation and transit updates.  The portal also offers customers access to their billing and shipping histories.</p>
		<p>Automotive aftermarket manufacturers also recognize Purolator’s seamless delivery capabilities throughout Canada.  Unlike most cross border logistics providers, Purolator maintains an extensive distribution network throughout Canada.  This means that a shipment is able to travel from the U.S., across the border and to its final destination without ever leaving Purolator’s scope of control.  “Our customers never have to wonder where their package is,” says Jensen.  “With Purolator, visibility is always just a mouse click or two away.” </p>
		<p>Purolator’s presence throughout Canada also means that there is very little interference from “blackout areas” that may affect other carriers that do not have the same level of investment in their Canadian routes.  Regardless of where a shipment is headed – even to the most remote regions of Canada – a customer will have tracking capability.</p>
		<p>Purolator maintains a team of customer service representatives who develop customized logistics plans that take into account each customer’s unique needs.  Aftermarket manufacturers, because of their specific logistics needs, are able to take advantage of Purolator’s wide range of delivery options and flexibility.</p>

			<title>Purolator USA Endorses U.S. and Canadian Chambers’ Recommendations for Improving Border Efficiency</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <b>JERICHO, NY -- July 28, 2009 --</b>  Purolator USA offered its support for a new report by the U.S. and Canadian Chambers of Commerce that calls on the U.S. and Canadian governments to evaluate current border clearance procedures and to take immediate action to improve efficiency by streamlining processes, eliminating exorbitant fees and addressing growing wait times. <br />  <br />The report, <em>“Finding the Balance:  Shared Border of the Future”</em> calls attention to a “thickening of the border” between the two countries, and draws attention to the fact that, while the two countries enjoy the world’s largest and most open trade relationship, regulatory mandates in recent years have had a chilling effect on the efficiency and growth of that relationship. <br />  <br />“As both the U.S. and Canada begin to recover from the economic recession, it is imperative that both our governments do what they can to facilitate, rather than impede the flow of goods across our border,” said Purolator USA President John Costanzo.  “This report does an excellent job of calling attention to some important issues that need to be rectified going forward. <br />  <br />Among the recommendations of the report: <br />  <br />·         Integration of all “trusted shipper” programs so that shippers cleared for participation in one program are not forced to participate in other programs that may be redundant.  In addition, government should work to lower costs of participating in these programs, which can be as high as $100,000. <br />  <br />·         Governments should take steps to reduce wait times at the border by adjusting manpower and resources to meet peak traffic times, eliminate collection of fees at the border, and by allowing greater access to pre-clearance facilities, which may be located away from the actual border at warehouses, processing centers and manufacturing facilities. <br />  <br />·         Elimination of redundancy that can occur when shipments are inspected multiple times, by various government agencies, at different stages of their transportation cycle.  The report cites the fact that automobiles that utilize both U.S. and Canadian parts in their manufacture may cross the border approximately seven times during the various stages of production.  In the process, these autos must endure as many as 28,000 customs and security clearances, and ensure multiple delays each time a border crossing is required. <br />  <br />Purolator USA offered support to help prepare this report.  “Our commitment to this undertaking calls attention to the serious issues that affect cross border trade,” says Purolator’s Costanzo.  “Once we have identified the issues that hamper the flow of goods between the two countries, we can take steps to correct them.” <br />  <br />Costanzo also pledged his company’s support to work with all government agencies – Canadian and American – to ensure that the border clearance process is as efficient and effective as possible. <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s leading overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market. <br />  <br />Purolator USA has doubled the size of its U.S. office network during the past 18 months, with branches or gateways now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Dallas/Ft.

			<title>Purolator USA Opens Full-Service New York Regional Office with Direct Access to Canadian Border</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>JERICHO, NY - July 1, 2009 – Purolator USA recently opened a new full service processing facility in Farmingdale, Long Island that offers comprehensive cross border logistics services for shipments traveling between the United States and Canada.  The 8,000 square foot facility will service businesses located across the metropolitan New York region, including New York City, northern New Jersey, Westchester and Rockland counties, Long Island and southern Connecticut. <br />  <br />“We are delighted to have a physical presence in the New York metro area,” said branch manager Mike DiBenedetto.  “Businesses are aware that Purolator is the ‘go to’ name for cross border logistics, and the response since our mid-June opening has just been fantastic.” <br />  <br />DiBenedetto explained that the Farmingdale facility’s location provides easy access to the region’s airports, as well as to the critical highway system.  Shipments arriving at the Farmingdale facility are generally processed and consolidated on-site, usually within a few hours of leaving their original destination.  “Our on-site consolidation capabilities set us apart from our competitors,” DiBenedetto explained.  “We realize that our customers’ expect us to deliver their goods as quickly and as cost efficiently as possible, and we strive to exceed those expectations.” <br />  <br />Purolator maintains operations throughout both the U.S. and Canada, with unmatched distribution networks in each country.

<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>JERICHO, NY – May 28, 2009  –Savvy U.S. automotive aftermarket suppliers are taking advantage of the strong buying power of the U.S. dollar to purchase components and other materials in Canada for transport back to the U.S.  A new white paper by cross border logistics expert Purolator USA details steps to ensure that these savings are not eaten up by faulty logistics plans and unexpected fees and compliance issues. <br />  <br />A key takeaway of the white paper, <em>“Imports Supply Chain Logistics, A Comprehensive Logistics Plan for U.S. Businesses Looking for Value in the Canadian Marketplace,”</em> is the need for U.S. businesses to ensure that their shipments are being handled by an experienced logistics provider who not only understands the U.S./Canada regulatory process, but also has access to a U.S. distribution network. <br />  <br />“Too many U.S. businesses have learned the hard way that, while the Canadian market does present many opportunities, transporting goods from Canada into the U.S. involves a significant regulatory process,” said Purolator USA President John Costanzo.  “And unless a business, or its designated logistics provider, has a good understanding of that regulatory process, chances are good that a U.S.-bound shipment will be held up at the border.  This of course will result in fees and penalties racking up, along with costly delays.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA’s new paper also discusses several U.S. trade programs that are intended to facilitate the flow of goods across the border by minimizing delays and tariffs.  One program, the Duty Drawback program reimburses U.S. businesses for up to 99 percent of the duty paid on imports that are subsequently used in the manufacture of a product that is then exported.  <br />  <br />“The Duty Drawback program can be especially beneficial to U.S. aftermarket suppliers,” Costanzo said.  “Unfortunately though, many businesses – and their logistics providers – are unaware of this program.  In fact, as much as $2 billion in eligible drawback refunds go unclaimed each year.  And there are several other trade enhancement programs that can facilitate cross border trade, but they are only available to qualified, certified logistics providers.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA offers expertise in cross border logistics, as well as comprehensive solutions for all transportation needs.  Aftermarket suppliers are increasingly turning to Purolator to transport shipments into Canada, and to then return with their Canadian purchases.  “Our aftermarket customers are telling us that they have a high level of comfort with Purolator’s cross border expertise,” Costanzo said, “and that ensuring the timely and cost efficient delivery of their shipments – north and south bound -- cannot be left to chance.” <br />  <br />Aftermarket suppliers are encouraged to download a copy of <em>“Imports Supply Chain Logistics, A Comprehensive Logistics Plan for U.S. Businesses Looking for Value in the Canadian Marketplace.”</em>  To contact a Purolator USA sales processional, please visit http://www.purolatorusa.com. <br /> <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br /><b> </b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market.</p>

			<title>Canadian Customs Expertise is a necessity for Medical Device Manufacturers</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <b>
				<p>April 21, 2009 – JERICHO, NY -- </p>
		</b>U.S. medical device manufacturers that ship regularly to Canada, already reeling from cutbacks in purchases by hospitals and other health facilities, face the additional challenge of navigating the complex Canadian customs clearance process. Rather than spend internal resources trying to comprehend the layers of Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) regulatory requirements, many device manufacturers have given that responsibility to cross border logistics provider Purolator USA, and achieved unexpected cost savings and delivery efficiencies.<p>"Like most countries, Canada puts a high priority on ensuring that imported health-related products are safe and that they meet the standards set for the sale of such products," explained Purolator USA Director of Sales John Jensen "Canada has adopted a risk-based approach, whereby a medical device is assigned to one of four ‘risk classes,’ with various regulatory mandates assigned to each class. <br />"Unless you have a pretty thorough understanding of the intricacies of each risk class, the CBSA clearance process can be an extremely tricky process, he added"</p><p>Through Purolator Trade Solutions services, medical device manufacturers have access to a team of trade experts, who not only understand the regulatory requirements for each type of medical device, but who also understand how certain U.S. and Canadian trade programs can be used to cut costs and minimize crossing delays.</p><p>In addition, extensive access to distribution networks throughout both Canada and the U.S., means that medical devices usually reach their end-destination without having to endure costly distribution center stopovers.</p><p>"A logistics provider either has cross border expertise or it doesn’t. No medical device manufacturer wants to trust a shipment to an unproven entity. Purolator USA is the recognized name in the industry for cross border logistics," Jensen added.</p><p>For more information about Purolator USA’s expertise in transporting medical devices, please visit <a href="">www.purolatorusa.com</a>. </p><p><b>About Purolator USA </b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s leading overnight courier company.

			<title>Purolator USA’s Canadian Operations Help Medical Device Manufacturers Avoid Costly Stopovers</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />
				<b>JERICHO, NY – March 10, 2009</b> – Medical device manufacturers can potentially reduce logistics costs and cut delivery times by taking advantage of the distribution center bypass options offered by Purolator USA.  Purolator, a leading provider of cross border logistics services, maintains operations throughout Canada that medical device manufacturers are increasingly tapping into to streamline their supply chain costs.  Purolator’s presence in Canada allows manufacturers to rely on Purolator as a single source logistics provider, with expertise in transporting shipments into Canada, and in bringing materials and returns back into the United States. <br />  <br />“Manufacturers have this notion that shipping to Canada has to involve at least one stop at a DC,” says Purolator USA Director of Sales John Jensen.  “Purolator USA is reaching out to medical device manufacturers – an industry so reliant on efficiency and flawless execution -- to let them know that there are better options.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA stands apart from most other logistics providers, because Purolator operates facilities throughout Canada, and has access to established distribution networks throughout the country.  As a result, Purolator shipments are transported to the border, consolidated for more efficient cross border processing, and then fed into a Purolator distribution network that will provide direct delivery to the end consumer. <br />  <br />“Avoiding a distribution center stopover can shave anywhere from two to twenty days from a distribution plan, and it can have innumerable cost benefits,” Jensen explained.  “Device manufacturers will be able to alleviate the cost of maintaining Canadian distribution centers, and the associated inventory costs. <br />  <br />“This is particularly important for the medical device industry, in which so many products are time sensitive and need to get to their end destination as quickly as possible, whether that is a hospital, physician’s office or an individual patient,” Jensen said.  “I think medical device manufacturers will be please to see just how significant an impact DC bypass can have on their bottom line.” <br />  <br />Jensen noted that in addition to using Purolator USA for logistics services into Canada, many businesses are achieving cost efficiencies by using Purolator to also transport their returns and other shipments back into the United States.  “This is a great service that we’re able to provide our customers,” Jensen said.  “Relying on Purolator for both north-and-southbound services allows us to take full advantage of our U.S. and Canadian networks, thereby offering great value and efficiencies for our customers.” <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market.</p>

			<title>Purolator USA is Provider of Choice for Texas-Canada Cross Border Logistics</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <p>
				<br />Dallas, TX – February 17, 2009 --  As Texas businesses look to Canada for new customers and new business opportunities, Purolator USA has become a “logistics provider of choice” because of its expertise in providing cross border solutions.  Cross border trade between the State of Texas and Canada is expected to exceed $27 billion this year, and is likely to remain strong during the ongoing economic downturn.  As more and more Texas businesses realize the potential for business opportunities in Canada, the need has increased for qualified logistics providers – such as Purolator USA – that have cross border expertise. <br />  <br />“Transporting goods into Canada is really a niche market,” says Purolator’s Dallas Branch Manager Mark Feeney.  “Many logistics providers claim to have cross border capability, but very few can actually match the depth and scope of Purolator’s services.” <br />  <br />Through its Purolator Trade Solutions, Purolator offers comprehensive understanding of Canadian and U.S. trade regulations and fee structures. Customers have access to a team of trained trade specialists who can ensure that shipments not only comply with appropriate regulations, but that crossing times and fees are minimized wherever possible. With access to its extensive distribution network throughout Canada, Purolator provides customers widespread service to some of the most remote regions of the country. <br />  <br />Texas businesses are finding that their supply chain to Canada is especially trouble-free, due to utilizing the full service-processing center that Purolator USA opened earlier this year in Grapevine.  <br />  <br />“Our facility has great proximity to the Dallas-Ft Worth airport, which of course is a vital transportation hub,” says Feeney.  “From our Dallas processing facility, we can route shipments for the fastest, most cost efficient route possible into Canada.  Purolator’s consolidation capability often results in logistics plans that shave anywhere from 1 to 2 days off of delivery times.” <br />  <br />Businesses interested in learning more about Purolator USA’s cross border expertise can visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market.</p>

			<title>Purolator USA Assists Medical Device Manufacturers in Managing Logistics Costs</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>Purolator USA Assists Medical Device Manufacturers in Managing Logistics Costs</b>
		<br />  <br />JERICHO, NY – January 26, 2009 -- Purolator USA, a leading provider of logistics services to the medical device industry, recently announced an initiative to help its medical device customers manage rising transportation and delivery costs.  Like most U.S. manufacturers, the medical device industry has been affected by the nation’s economic downturn, and faces significant challenges in meeting rigid delivery schedules in the face of mounting business costs. <br />  <br />Purolator USA provides logistics solutions for shipments traveling between the United States and Canada, and also for shipments originating in Canada destined to the United States.  The company is widely recognized for its expertise in cross border regulatory issues through Purolator Trade Solutions, and for its high level of customer service.  Every Purolator customer is assigned a client relations representative, who understands each customer’s shipping needs and can tailor and monitor an individualized logistics plan as the need arises. <br />  <br />“The medical device industry is unique in that many of its products are shipped ‘high priority,’ and timely delivery can literally be a matter of life and death,” said Purolator USA Director of Sales, John Jensen.  “While we have services that enable our medical device clients to meet these critical delivery needs, for other, non-urgent shipments, Purolator USA can help device manufacturers rethink their shipping plans, and better manage their logistics costs while still delivering the level of service required to their clients. <br />  <br />“In fact, we have instructed our sales team that priority number one is to reach out to customers that may be struggling, and provide them with more cost efficient and cost effective transportation solutions,” Jensen added. <br />  <br />Reevaluating shipping modes is an obvious place to look for cost savings.  Air transportation incurs significantly higher costs than ground transportation.  And within the ground transportation category, there are several service levels to choose from. “Businesses need to prioritize their shipments, and use air service for critical, time sensitive parcels,” Jensen said.  “Customers can save as much as 50 percent by using ground service over air. With the majority of the Canadian population and business centers lying within 100 miles of the US border, many shipments moving by ground can be delivered next day without incurring the significantly higher expenses associated with shipping exclusively by air”. Jensen added that Purolator USA works with its medical device clients to design custom tailored delivery programs, using both ground and air services to meet the delivery commitments made to their Canadian based customers. <br />  <br />Another way that medical device manufacturers can control logistics costs is by streamlining the border crossing process.  While the medical device industry faces a much more stringent regulatory process than most industries, the regulatory process does not have to be a costly and time-consuming obstacle.  Purolator USA provides a team of trade specialists who are experts in regulatory compliance.  This understanding of the trade process ensures that logistics plans take into consideration the many “short cuts” offered by the U.S. and Canadian governments to facilitate trade between the two countries.  These trade incentives often mean reduced tariffs and associated duties, which can also reduce border crossing wait times. <br />  <br />The medical device industry generated $75.6 billion in revenues during 2007, and that figure is expected to increase by roughly nine percent this year.  While demand for medical device products will remain strong, the need will grow for logistics providers that can transport those goods in a smart, timely and cost-efficient manner. <br />  <br />Manufacturers interested in learning more about how to control logistics costs can access a new Purolator USA white paper, “Flexibility and Creativity are Keys to Managing Logistics Costs.” This paper offers discussion about several cost-saving options.  <br /> Manufacturers can also learn more about Purolator USA’s services at www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_assists_medical_device_manufacturers_in_managing_logistics_costs_2_10_2009.aspx</link>

			<title>Don’t Send it Overnight if It’s Not Urgent:  Logistics Review Can Help NY Businesses Manage Transportation Spend</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>Don’t Send it Overnight if It’s Not Urgent:  Logistics Review Can Help NY Businesses Manage Transportation Spend</b>  <br /><b> </b><br /><b>JERICHO, NY – January 8, 2009 --</b> New York businesses spend anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of their operating budgets on costs associated with the transportation and delivery of goods.  While costs can vary based on volume and complexity of logistics needs, almost without exception, transportation spend is one cost center regularly put under the microscope as business’ look for ways to cut costs.  Long Island-based Purolator USA recently compiled an overview of “expectations” that businesses can use to ensure that they are receiving maximum efficiency from their logistics provider. <br />  <br />“Many businesses don’t realize that there can be a great deal of flexibility in putting together a logistics plan,” says Purolator USA, Director of Transportation Michael Locke.  “Businesses need to make sure that their logistics provider is working with them, understands their business and is taking advantage of every potential savings opportunity.” <br />  <br />Consolidation can be a key factor in reducing transportation costs.  A good logistics provider will have the capability to combine shipments so that trucks are traveling at near-to-full capacity.  Consolidation can also help business’ avoid costly and inefficient distribution stopovers.  “For example, Purolator USA has access to deep distribution networks both in Canada and within the United States,” Locke explains.  “We use these extensive networks to consolidate shipments so they reach their end user without stopping at a DC.  This saves improved service to the end customer by saving time and money, and also avoids the need for a business to maintain a separate inventory in a DC.” <br />  <br />Consolidation can improve Canadian shipment efficiency.  Last year, New York businesses exported more than $13 billion in goods to Canada.  In most instances, a logistics provider will combine smaller shipments into one large shipment, and move the entire load across the border at once.  This significantly cuts down on border crossing wait times, and minimizes regulatory paperwork. <br />  <br />Businesses can also reprioritize service levels.  The cost of overnight air shipping runs an average 50 percent higher than ground service.  Within the ground category, there are several options available, depending on delivery deadlines.  Locke noted that many businesses send non-urgent shipments via next day overnight, because they’ve always done it that way, and they are simply unaware of the alternatives…. “With 75% of the Canadian population and business centers lying within 100 miles of the US border, many shipments moving by ground can be delivered next day without incurring the significantly higher expenses associated with shipping exclusively by air”. He added that Purolator USA works with its clients to design custom tailored delivery programs, using both ground and air services to meet the delivery commitments made by their clients to their Canadian based customers. <br /> <br />“Given the current economic climate, it’s very important for business owners to realize that they have choices when it comes to logistics services,” Locke said.  “Businesses can better manage their transportation spend by being aware of those choices, and ensuring that their transportation dollars are being spent as efficiently as possible.” <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market. <br />  <br />In addition to its facilities throughout New York State, Purolator USA has expanded into several key markets including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft.

			<title>Purolator USA’s Expedited Service to Canada Helps Mid-Atlantic Businesses Meet Holiday Shipping Deadlines</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>Purolator USA’s Expedited Service to Canada Helps Mid-Atlantic Businesses Meet Holiday Shipping Deadlines</b>
		<br />  <br />(Jericho, NY – December 5, 2008)  Mid-Atlantic businesses have a new option this holiday shipping season, with the recent addition of Purolator USA’s direct-to-Canada outbound service.  Through this service, mid-Atlantic businesses now have a Canadian gateway right in their backyard. <br />  <br />“Our outbound service will really be a tremendous help to our customers, not only during the busy holiday shipping period, but throughout the rest of the year as well,” says Purolator’s Philadelphia Branch Manager Frank Jacketti.  “Now we can offer customers direct access to the Canadian market.  This is a big cost saver, since we can avoid unnecessary stopovers and transfers.” <br />  <br />In addition to expedited delivery to Canada, Jacketti also offered a number of “tips” to help businesses manage their heightened holiday shipping needs: <br />  <br /><b>*Be aware of shipping deadlines.</b>  Logistics providers should be notifying their customers about holiday shipping deadlines.  Purolator USA’s holiday shipping deadlines ensure delivery by December 25.  “Obviously, the earlier a business can ship the better,” Jacketti notes.  “But, recognizing that 11<sup>th</sup> hour special deliveries are part of the holiday craziness, Purolator has adopted deadlines that give businesses as much flexibility as possible.” <br />  <br /><b>*Look for logistics carriers that work with you to find solutions.</b>  While holiday shipping deadlines are certainly necessary, a good logistics provider will understand that sometimes, situations come up that go beyond the scope of “normal.”  Since last minute emergencies are generally unplanned, it’s a good idea to have a logistics provider that understands your business and can handle “emergencies” without causing a major disruption to your supply chain.  Purolator USA offers flexible pickup times, which allows customers some breathing room in preparing last minute orders.  In addition, Purolator offers a variety of linehaul options including dedicated air charter service that expedite entry into Canada. <br />  <br /><b>*Make sure your shipments are not being held up at the border!</b>  The Canadian government administers the “Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS)” which was developed as a way to minimize the clearance times for shipments crossing the border.  Under PARS, a shipment can be cleared for entry before it even reaches the Canadian border.  But, a logistics provider can’t take advantage of this program if they don’t know about it! Purolator USA takes full advantage of PARS, which results in considerable time savings.  Since time is an especially valuable commodity during the holiday season, businesses should make sure they are taking advantage of the PARS program. <br />  <br />Jacketti notes that good planning and “a good partnership” with a logistics provider are critical to effective holiday shipping.  “Purolator USA thrives on the challenges and craziness of the holiday season,” he says.  “There’s no greater satisfaction than really coming through for a customer during this crazy time of the year.” <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br />### <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest overnight courier company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market. <br /><br />In addition to its facilities throughout New York State, Purolator USA has expanded into several key markets including Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft.

			<title>Rising Logistics Costs Plague Automotive Aftermarketers, Purolator USA Offers Solutions</title>

				<b>Rising Logistics Costs Plague Automotive Aftermarketers, Purolator USA Offers Solutions</b>
				<br />
				<br />JERICHO, NY – November 24, 2008 – Automotive aftermarket manufacturers find themselves in a precarious position as a result of the downturn in the nation’s economy. On the one hand, the market for aftermarket products is strong, as many consumers are opting to forego new car purchases in favor of maintaining existing vehicles. But, the costs of moving those car and truck parts through the supply chain have increased dramatically in recent months. As a result, many automotive aftermarket manufacturers are looking to an experienced logistics provider, Purolator USA, for cost-savings solutions and insight into the unique needs of the industry. </p>
		<p>Purolator USA offers comprehensive logistics services for shipments traveling across the border into Canada as well as for shipments traveling within the United States. Purolator is noted for its extensive distribution networks within each country, its cross border and regulatory expertise, and for its high level of customer service. “Purolator’s core strengths can really help automotive aftermarket manufacturers during the current economic downturn,” says Purolator USA <b>Director of Transportation Solutions, Michael Locke. <br /></b><br />Each Purolator USA customer works with a service professional to understand the unique needs of the customer’s supply chain. A client relations representative, who understands each of the customers’ needs, ensures the individualized logistics plan is maintained. This is particularly important in the automotive aftermarket industry, where time is of the essence in getting an auto or truck part delivered to a waiting customer. <br /><br />“Our logistics specialists are able to help customers evaluate their shipping needs and priorities, and put together cost efficient logistics solutions that ensure timely delivery,” says Locke. “We have many tools to offer our customers that help us control costs while ensuring a smooth and timely logistics process.” <br />Purolator USA often evaluates shipment linehaul, which results in lower transit costs. For goods crossing the border, consolidating shipments can mean minimal delays and reduced import fees, since consolidated goods cross the border as single shipment, rather than as a group of individual packages. <br /><br />Purolator also offers aftermarket manufacturers access to its deep distribution networks throughout both the U.S. and Canada. “Goods travel on a Purolator truck with minimal stopovers or transfers, and customers in even the most remote regions of the two countries can be accessed,” says Locke. “And,” he adds, “Many aftermarketers are realizing that it makes sense to send return shipments back with Purolator. This way, we’re able to maximize efficiencies and better manage costs.” <br />This increased attention to customers’ bottom lines comes at a time when transportation logistics are at a high. A recent study by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals found that American businesses spent $1.4 trillion on logistics last year. While fuel prices have come down, logistics prices overall remain high due to decreased volume and higher operating costs. “While there is no magic solution, we can make sure customers are operating as wisely and efficiently as possible,” Locke said. <br /><br />Purolator USA is the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s leading overnight courier company. In the United States, Purolator USA has doubled the size of its office network during the past 18 months, with branches now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Buffalo, New York/Metro and Newburgh, NY.For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com.</p> , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/rising_logistics_costs_plague_automotive_aftermarketers_purolator_usa_offers_solutions_2_10_2009.aspx</link>

			<title>Purolator USA Offers Cross Border Expertise for New York Exporters</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>Purolator USA Offers Cross Border Expertise for New York Exporters</b>
		<br />  <br /><b>Jericho</b><b>, NY – November 5, 2008</b> - Purolator USA recently stepped up its outreach efforts to businesses throughout New York State, as a way to promote the tremendous trade opportunities between the U.S. and Canada.  Bilateral trade between New York State and Canada is expected to exceed $40 billion during 2008, and is likely to remain strong during the ongoing economic downturn.  As more and more New York businesses realize the potential for doing business in Canada, Purolator USA is rapidly becoming a “logistics provider of choice,” because of its expertise with cross border logistics. <br />  <br />“Both the U.S. and Canadian governments have made great progress in facilitating trade between the two countries,” says Purolator USA President John Costanzo.  “Trade barriers have fallen, and steps have been taken to minimize border crossing delays and ‘unexpected’ fees.  As a result, businesses are increasingly realizing the economic advantage of cross border sales.” <br />  <br />Products traveling between the two countries represent a wide array of manufacturing categories.  For example, New York manufacturers sent more than $13 billion in goods to Canada last year, including computers, electronics, automotive and machinery parts, primary metal products and personal/household goods.    Of the $26 billion in goods that New York imports from Canada, leading categories include energy products, metals, automobiles and automotive parts. <br />  <br />As an example of the partnership between the two countries, the Canadian government reports that while Oakville, Ontario is home to a Ford Motor Company facility that assembles the Ford Edge model, 80 percent of the auto’s body is produced in Hamburg, NY.  Trucks carrying parts between the two locations cross the border roughly 18 times a day. <br />  <br />“There is a tremendous amount of synergy between New York companies and their Canadian counterparts,” says Costanzo.  “We have several customers who interact on a daily basis with businesses on either side of the border.” <br />  <br />Costanzo notes that Purolator USA is uniquely qualified to meet the needs of these businesses because of Purolator’s expertise with cross border logistics.  Purolator USA maintains facilities on either side of the border, which allows customers to consolidate their shipments so that fewer crossings are necessary.  “Fewer crossings mean shorter delays at the border, and lower fees and duties,” says Costanzo.  <br />  <br />Purolator USA also provides customers access to an extensive distribution network throughout Canada.  Purolator’s network is more extensive than most logistics providers, allowing access to some of the most remote regions of that country. <br />  <br />Because cross border transactions require an understanding of Canadian and U.S. regulations and fee structures, many businesses rely on Purolator USA for its expertise in these areas. Through its Purolator Trade Solutions service, Purolator USA provides access to cross border trade specialists, who can easily navigate U.S./Canadian customs regulations and procedures. <br />  <br />Businesses interested in learning more about Purolator USA’s cross border expertise can visit www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_offers_cross_border_expertise_for_new_york_exporters_2_10_2009.aspx</link>

			<title>Purolator USA Expands Service within the Automotive Aftermarket Industry</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>Purolator USA Expands Service within the Automotive Aftermarket Industry </b>
		<br />  <br /><b>JERICHO, NY – October 23, 2008</b> -- Rapid delivery, deep distribution networks and cost efficiency are the three “golden rules” of the automotive aftermarket industry.  The industry, with sales in excess of $285 billion during 2007, depends on logistics providers that can move their products through the delivery process and to their end-user as quickly as possible.  Purolator USA now offers its cross-border and intra-U.S. logistics expertise to automotive aftermarket manufacturers, with the added benefit of Purolator’s widely respected customer service. <br />  <br />“The nature of the automotive aftermarket industry is such that there really is no room for delays or miscalculations in getting goods where they need to be,” says Purolator USA President John Costanzo.  “Many times a part is being delivered to a customer who is having a car repaired, so time really is of the essence. We can all sympathize with being told, ‘the part is on order’.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA is a natural fit with the automotive aftermarket industry for several reasons.  Shipments traveling across the border to Canada can be integrated into Purolator’s extensive distribution network, which allows access to even the most remote regions of the country. In addition, Purolator has the capacity to combine shipments prior to crossing the border, which can minimize delays and reduce import-related fees.  Further, Purolator USA operates facilities on either side of the border, which often means that shipments can be delivered directly to their end destination, thereby avoiding costly distribution center stopovers. <br />  <br />Purolator offers a team of cross border specialists through its Purolator Trade Solutions service, who can help customers understand and manage regulatory and trade-related requirements. Purolator’s trade specialists can provide a customer with the exact amount of fees and duties that will be assessed at the border.  Many logistics providers are unable to offer this service, which means that businesses are slapped with unexpected additional invoices upon delivery. <br />  <br />Manufacturers also rely on Purolator USA to handle their Canadian returns into the U.S. “This is an additional service that Purolator is pleased to offer the automotive aftermarket industry.  Our customers have realized that it is generally more cost efficient to rely on us to process their returns, than it is to contract with a separate provider,” Costanzo said. <br />  <br />“For automotive shipments that travel within the United States, service options range from Next Day Air to Domestic Ground, depending on a shipment’s urgency,” Costanzo said.  “We regularly hear from our aftermarket customers that our range of intra-U.S. services offer them a high degree of flexibility, given their sporadic shipping schedules.” <br />  <br />The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) projects a continued increase in industry sales for the foreseeable future, as an increasing number of individuals opt to forego purchasing a new car, and instead focus on maintaining their current vehicle.  This means Purolator USA will continue to develop additional services to meet the unique needs of the automotive aftermarket industry. <br />  <br />Manufacturers interested in learning more about Purolator USA’s capabilities should visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market.

		<b>Medical Device Producers express interest in Purolator USA’s Express Service and Customer Service</b>
		<br />  <br />All medical devices share a critical need regardless of their complexity or purpose. They need to move quickly and accurately through the supply chain.  For medical devices traveling to cross border destinations, the supply chain can be even more vexing, since most devices incur additional regulatory oversight.  Purolator USA has established regulatory solutions that are used for medical devices traveling between the U.S. and Canada, along with express delivery options and customized logistics plans.  Purolator USA’s flexibility has made it a “carrier of choice” for many in the medical device industry. <br />  <br />The U.S. medical device industry generated revenues in excess of $75 billion during 2006, and there is a strong market for U.S.-produced devices around the world.  In Canada alone, U.S.-produced devices account for more than half of that country’s medical device imports. <br />  <br />“Transporting medical devices involves a wide range of shipping and regulatory requirements that are unique to this industry,” says Purolator USA President, John Costanzo.  “While every product crossing the border is subject to specific regulatory and compliance issues, medical devices must comply with a whole separate category of mandates.  This is in addition to the unique shipping needs of many devices, ranging from temperature control to fragility to critical delivery deadlines.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA offers medical device businesses an exceptionally high degree of customer service, as well as expertise in navigating all cross border regulatory issues.  “That’s what we’re really known for,” says Costanzo.  “Every Purolator USA customer works with a ‘client relations representative’ whose sole responsibility is to understand their account’s business inside and out, and works with a logistics expert to develop a logistics plan that meets each customer’s unique needs.” <br />  <br />In addition to expertise in navigating regulatory hurdles, Purolator USA offers several solutions with regard to delivery options within Canada and the United States.  “We have access to deep distribution networks within each country, which is a huge benefit for customers, especially for a manufacturer who must reach a customer in the northern regions of Canada, which are quite remote,” Costanzo says. <br />  <br />“Purolator’s distribution networks run much deeper within Canada than most logistics providers, enabling Purolator to bring medical devices across the border, bypassing time consuming stops at distribution centers, and deliver the products to their final destination with minimal delay,” he added.  <br />  <br />The U.S. medical device industry is projected to grow by as much as nine percent annually for the next five years.  As such, the need will also grow for logistics providers who are experienced in the unique needs of transporting medical devices.  <br />Manufacturers interested in learning more about Purolator USA’s capabilities should visit www.purolatorusa.com. <br />  <br /><b> </b><br /><b>About Purolator USA</b><br />Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd, Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company.  Purolator USA specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage and delivery to, from and within the North American market. <br /><br /> ### , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/medical_device_producers_express_interest_in_purolator_usas_express_service_and_customer_service__11_10_2008.aspx</link>

				<b>Purolator USA Offers Cross Border Logistics Expertise to Mid-Atlantic Businesses Benefiting from Export Boom</b>
				<br />  <br />Jericho, NY – September 5, 2008 – Mid-Atlantic businesses exported more than $21 billion in goods to Canada last year, as the faltering U.S. economy led bargain-savvy Canadian consumers to look to U.S. manufacturers for a wide array of goods. As a result, many businesses found themselves expanding their customer bases to Canada. This in turn caused a demand for transportation providers with expertise in cross border logistics.</p>
		<p>Purolator USA, a leading provider of cross border logistics recently opened a new processing facility in the Philadelphia-region, and has already established itself as a “first choice” option for many businesses that ship regularly to customers within the U.S. as well as in Canada. <br /><br />“Purolator USA offers businesses several choices and services that are clearly lacking among our competitors,” says Branch Manager Frank Jacketti. “For one thing, Purolator USA has an extensive distribution network within Canada that goes far beyond what most of our competitors can access. Our deep network means that we can reach some of the more remote regions of the country, and also that we can move shipments into Canada without having to stop for costly distribution center delays.” <br />Jacketti also noted that the company also has an extensive delivery network within the U.S., so not only can Purolator transport goods into and throughout Canada, it can also import goods back into the U.S. “We offer our customers comprehensive, one-source solutions for all their logistics needs.” <br /><br />As the U.S. subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd., Canada’s largest express delivery company, Purolator USA has a unique understanding and insight to the U.S./Canadian border crossing process. “Through our Purolator Trade Solutions service, we offer our customers a team of dedicated trade experts, who have a thorough understanding of the cross border process,” Jacketti said. “We can provide customers options to ensure that their shipments travel across the border as seamlessly and as cost effectively as possible.” <br /><br />Purolator USA’s new Philadelphia branch, which is located in Phoenixville, will service businesses located in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. “We are delighted to be joining such an active and growing export corridor,” Jacketti added. “The businesses we’ve reached out to seem to have an insatiable appetite for the Canadian market. We are excited at these great opportunities, and look forward to partnering with these dynamic businesses.” <br />Purolator USA doubled the size of its U.S. office network during the past 12 months, with branches operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Dallas/Ft.

			<title>Purolator USA Offers Options to Help Businesses Manage Escalating Logistics Costs </title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<b>JERICHO, NY – August 26, 2008 –</b> A “perfect storm” of higher fuel costs, uncertainty in the U.S. economy and higher inventory carrying costs has resulted in sharp increases in logistics fees for most U.S. businesses.  Purolator USA, an expert in cross border transportation logistics for shipments between the U.S. and Canada is working to help customers develop solutions to address these current adverse conditions. <br />  <br />“Purolator USA is very sensitive to the negative impact that higher transportation costs are having on our customers,” says John Costanzo, president of Purolator USA.  “Most of our customers understand the nature of the beast -- that the cost of fuel is beyond our control -- but still appreciate our efforts to help them plan better and gain maximum efficiencies.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA is unique in the logistics industry because it offers individual attention and personalized planning to each customer.  Purolator’s Trade Solutions team works with each customer to map out a logistics plan that is cost effective, and best meets the needs of each particular account. <br />  <br />“Our teams are taking a close look at each account, and trying to find efficiencies wherever possible,” Costanzo explains.  “We’re evaluating how we can consolidate shipments, so trucks are as full as possible.  We’re taking a harder look at service levels – does a particular shipment really need to travel at the “overnight air” level, or can it take a big longer to reach its destination, and travel instead through a less expensive alternative?  <br />  <br />Costanzo notes that Purolator USA has access to extensive distribution networks throughout both the U.S. and Canada.  “Our distribution network offers a high degree of flexibility in working with our customers,” he explains.  “Because we have such extensive distribution channels, we can tailor a logistics plan that can avoid costly delays, stopovers and non-direct routes.” <br />  <br />This increased attention to customers’ bottom line comes at a time when transportation logistics are at an all-time high.  A recent study by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals found that inventory carrying costs rose nine percent last year, and transportation costs were up almost six percent.  Overall, the study found that American businesses spent $1.4 trillion on logistics last year. <br />  <br />“While there is no magic solution, we can make sure customers are operating as wisely and as efficiently as possible,” Costanzo said.   <br />  <br />Purolator USA is the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company.  In the United States, Purolator USA has doubled the size of its office network during the past 12 months, with branches or gateways now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Buffalo and Newburgh, NY. <br /> For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_offers_options_to_help_businesses_manage_escalating_logistics_costs__9_2_2008.aspx</link>

			<title>Cross Border Sales Surge between US/Canada; Lone Star Businesses Continue to find New Customers in Canada</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />DALLAS, TX – May 27, 2008 – US businesses are increasingly looking to Canada to expand their customer base, and generally finding a receptive audience.  Sales between the US and Canada peaked during 2006 at almost $577 billion, with 23 billion between Texas and Canada alone, and this upward climb is expected to continue.  While the economic outlook for the U.S. economy remains tenuous, the comparative strength of the Canadian dollar has provided unexpected opportunities for smart U.S. businesses that can reach Canadian customers. <br />  <br />John T. Costanzo, president of Purolator USA, a leading expert in cross border transportation logistics, says that his company has seen a tremendous increase in business as a result of the increased amount of goods moving between Canada and Texas.  “It seems that every business in Texas has its eye to the north, and as a result, the demand for good cross border logistics has really surged.” <br />  <br />Texas’ success in reaching the Canadian market was the subject of a news interview that Costanzo gave recently to KRLD NewsRadio in Dallas.  During that interview, Costanzo discussed the tremendous increase in Texas/Canada cross border trade. <br />  <br />Canadian consumers have taken advantage of the comparatively strong Canadian loonie by ordering a record amount of goods over the Internet.  While consumer spending is certainly a part of the growth in cross border activity, Costanzo says that the bulk of the increase is fueled by “great Texas manufacturers,” who have found Canadian markets for their diverse products. “Unshaped plastics, chemicals, computers and motor vehicle parts alone account for almost $4.6 billion worth of goods sent from Texas to Canada.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA recently responded to the increased need for cross border expertise by opening a new full-service processing facility in Grapevine.  That facility, with its close proximity to DFW airport ensures the timely processing of shipments traveling either by air or via ground.  Purolator USA offers transportation and logistics solutions for businesses that ship regularly between Canada and the United States.  In addition, Purolator USA offers delivery options for small package and express shipments traveling within the United States. <br /> For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/cross_border_sales_surge_between_uscanada_lone_star_businesses_continue_to_find_new_customers_in_canada_9_2_2008.aspx</link>

<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />PHILADELPHIA, PA – June 26, 2008 -- Purolator USA, the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company, has announced the opening of a new regional processing facility in King of Prussia, PA.  The new facility services businesses located in Philadelphia, southern and central New Jersey, Baltimore, MD and Wilmington, DE that ship regularly to Canada and within the U.S. <br />  <br />“Businesses in this region are really clamoring for alternatives when it comes to transporting goods between the United States and Canada,” facility manager Frank Jacketti explains.  “The shaky U.S. economy, combined with skyrocketing fuel and transportation costs have caused many companies to rethink their business practices.  Just because a business has ‘always’ done things one way doesn’t mean there isn’t a better, possibly less expensive way to get the job done. Purolator USA offers businesses choices that can help manage those costs.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA offers customers unmatched experience and expertise in cross border logistics, and can ensure the seamless movement of goods across both sides of the Canadian border.  The company has operations in both Canada and the United States and provides access to established and extensive distribution networks throughout each country.  Through its Purolator Trade Solutions service, Purolator USA provides access to cross border trade specialists, who can easily navigate U.S./Canadian customs regulations and procedures. <br />  <br />Purolator USA also offers small package and express delivery services within the United States. “We recently added the domestic service option, and it has already proven to be superior to services offered by our competitors,” says Jacketti. <br />  <br />In addition to its experience in cross border transportation logistics, Purolator USA is recognized for its commitment to customer service.  Every Purolator USA customer is assigned a specific service representative, who ensures that each account’s unique needs are addressed, and who is on call should a problem arise or a change need to be made to a logistics plan. <br />  <br />This individualized approach is well suited for the mid-Atlantic region, where cross border trade between Canada and the states of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Jersey is at an all-time high.  During 2006, more than $26 billion in goods traveled between Canada and these states. <br />  <br />  <br />Purolator USA doubled the size of its U.S. office network during the past 12 months, with branches or gateways now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham, Buffalo and Newburgh, NY. <br /> For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_opens_fullservice_freight_processing_facility_in_philadelphia_9_2_2008.aspx</link>

			<title>Purolator USA’s New Buffalo Branch Offers Cross Border Logistics Services  </title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />JERICHO, NY – May 27, 2008 -- Purolator USA, the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company, has announced the opening of a new branch office to service the upstate New York region.  The new branch is located at 1000 Young Street in Tonawanda and services businesses that ship regularly to Canada and within the U.S. <br />  <br />Purolator USA’s expansion into the Buffalo region comes at a time when cross border trade between the United States and Canada is at an all-time high.  The U.S. State Department reports that more than $1.5 billion in goods and services cross the border on a <em>daily</em> basis, and that volume is expected to increase.  Cross border activity has been spurred on by the comparative strength of the Canadian dollar versus its U.S. counterpart.  Canadian consumers look to their southern neighbor, and see lower-priced goods.  This has fueled the market for U.S. exports, and for transportation logistics providers to help move goods back and forth across the border. <br />  <br />“Purolator USA offers unmatched experience and expertise in cross border logistics, and can ensure the seamless movement of goods across both sides of the Canadian border,” says Scott Coleman, branch manager of the new Tonawanda office.  “I am excited about the opportunity to introduce these advantages to businesses shipping to Canada from the upstate New York region.” <br />  <br />  Purolator USA has operations in both Canada and the United States, which provides access to established and extensive distribution networks throughout each country.  Through its Purolator Trade Solutions service, Purolator USA provides access to cross border trade specialists, who can easily navigate U.S./Canadian customs regulations and procedures. <br />  <br />Purolator USA also offers small package and express delivery services within the United States. “We began offering the domestic service option during 2007, and it has already proven to be superior to services offered by our competitors,” says Coleman. <br />  <br /> “What really sets Purolator USA apart from our competitors is our ability to tailor logistics plans for each of our customers, based on their unique needs,” Coleman says.  “No two customers are alike, so we have no ‘one size fits all’ method of transporting goods.  Our team works with each customer to develop a plan that gets goods where they need to be as quickly and as cost effectively as possible.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA doubled the size of its U.S. office network during the past 12 months, with branches or gateways now operating in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Philadelphia, Raleigh/Durham and Newburgh, NY. <br /> For more information about Purolator USA, please visit www.purolatorusa.com. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usas_new_buffalo_branch_offers_cross_border_logistics_services___9_2_2008.aspx</link>

			<title>Purolator USA Puts Spotlight on Customer Service with Dedicated Service Professionals </title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />JERICHO, NY – May 5, 2008 – Nothing moves more perfectly than a well-oiled supply chain – until a chink forms in the chain, throwing everything askew.   And unless a good customer service function is standing at the ready to pick up the pieces, the effect of a supply chain disruption can be devastating. <br />  <br />Purolator USA, the small package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest freight services company, has committed significant resources to the critical need for customer service.  Purolator USA has designated a team of employees, called “Client Relations Representatives,” whose sole function is to provide personal service to customers. <br />  <br />“Every Purolator USA customer is assigned to a dedicated Client Relations Representative,” explains Karen Arias, manager of client relations.  “Our CRRs build relationships with their accounts.  They know the ins and outs of each customer, and are able to recommend solutions that best meet the needs of each unique customer. <br />  <br />“When plans change at the 11<sup>th</sup> hour or a problem arises,” Arias continues, our customers know to pick up the phone and call their CRR.  They will have instant contact with a customer service professional who will immediately begin to address whatever the customer’s need might be.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA’s approach to customer service is vastly different from what has increasingly become the industry norm, namely an 800-number manned by a series of automated voice prompts. <br />  <br />Jessica Webber, a Purolator USA CRR who operates out of the company’s Detroit office notes that, “customers really appreciate the high level of personal service that Purolator USA offers.  Customers know that it’s one stop shopping with me.  They will not be bounced from person-to-person, or hang up unsatisfied.” <br />  <br />Webber said that her familiarity with her customers’ businesses has helped avoid delivery mishaps on several occasions.  “I recall one time I happened to be in the warehouse, and noticed that one of my accounts’ boxes had been labeled incorrectly.  If I had not been there to make the necessary changes, those shipments would have arrived at the Canadian border and been turned away.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA’s Arias recognizes that having a team of dedicated customer specific service professionals on staff is a must if we are to provide a positive customer experience. <br />  <br />  <br />Purolator USA provides cross border logistics expertise to both U.S. and Canadian businesses, and maintains operations in each country.  In addition, the company offers small package and express delivery options for packages traveling within the United States. <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA and cross border logistics, please visit www.purolatorusa.com, or call 1-800-511-4811. , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_puts_spotlight_on_customer_service_with_dedicated_service_professionals__9_2_2008.aspx</link>

		<b>Purolator USA Offers Regulatory Expertise, Logistics Shortcuts </b>
		<br />
		<b>for U.S. Businesses Exporting to Canada</b>
		<br />  <br />JERICHO, NY – April 4, 2008 -- Purolator USA, the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest freight services company is pleased to offer unmatched expertise and logistical solutions to U.S. businesses with customers in Canada.  Through its “Purolator Trade Solutions” service, customers are able to tap into Purolator USA’s network of trade and logistics specialists to develop transportation plans that allow goods to move between the two countries as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible.<b></b><br />  <br />The Trade Solutions service is particularly important now, when U.S. exports to Canada are thriving.  The current unfavorable position of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar has increased the demand among Canadians for “cheaper” U.S. goods.  As a result, many U.S. companies are realizing the untapped potential of the Canadian market, and are taking steps to expand their customer base. <br />  <br />However, as enticing as the Canadian market may be, there are still many logistical and regulatory hurdles that a U.S. company must clear. <br />  <br />“Doing business with Canada, despite our similar cultures and shared border, is still doing business with a foreign country,” says Purolator USA President John Costanzo.  “U.S. businesses must contend with a range of regulatory and logistical issues before they can ship to Canada.  But, through our Trade Solutions services, Purolator USA assumes responsibility for these issues, so our customers can focus on other things.” <br />  <br />Purolator USA Trade Solutions can assist U.S. businesses that do business in Canada in several ways: <br />  <br /><b>Regulatory.</b>   Businesses shipping to Canada must comply with an array of  statutes and regulations imposed by the U.S. and Canadian governments.  While the 1994 NAFTA agreement eliminated many trade obstacles and reduced tariffs that previously restricted trade between the two countries, several requirements remain, foremost of which is NAFTA’s Certificate of Origin which must be completed. <br />In addition, both the United States and the Canadian governments have in place numerous programs designed to make it easier for U.S. businesses to ship to Canada.  In fact, Canada’s “Non-Resident Importer” program allows U.S. businesses to serve as both exporter and importer of record.  This allows U.S. companies to pay fees and tariffs up front, and to “almost” offer service on par with businesses actually located in Canada. <br />  <br /><b>Customs Brokerage.</b>  Purolator USA has longstanding relationships with Canadian customs brokers who are experts at navigating the Canadian customs clearance process. This expertise ensures that Purolator USA customers’ shipments are able to move across the border as quickly and seamlessly as possible.  In some instances, qualified shipments are able to be “pre-cleared,” meaning that no border delays are incurred.   Purolator Trade Solutions offers consultation about this “Pre-Arrival Review System” and all other issues pertaining to customs clearance. <br />  <br /><b>Distribution.</b>  Because Purolator USA is the subsidiary of Canada’s largest freight services provider, the company has access to an established distribution network in Canada.  This sets Purolator apart from many of its competitors, since Purolator is able to provide access to many lesser-populated regions not serviced by other logistics providers. <br />  <br />The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that in the 12 months ending January 2008, U.S. businesses exported more than $250 billion in goods to Canada, an increase of 8.8 percent over the same period ending January 2007.  This upward trend is expected to continue, as U.S. businesses seek maximum benefit from the favorable export market. <br />  <br />“Purolator Trade Solutions provides invaluable advice and expertise for businesses interested in taking advantage of the favorable export climate,” says Costanzo.  “Not many logistics providers offer a service as comprehensive and thoroughly familiar with the Canadian border process.” <br />  <br />For more information about Purolator USA Trade Solutions, please visit www.purolatorusa.com, or call 1-800-511-4811. <br />  <br />  <br />  <br />  <br /> , cmsid =0-->			<link>http://www.purolatorusa.com/press/purolator_usa_offers_regulatory_expertise_logistics_shortcuts__4_29_2008.aspx</link>

		<br />  <br />  <br />DALLAS, TX – April 23, 2008 -- Purolator USA, the small-package and freight forwarding subsidiary of Canada’s largest integrated distribution services company, has announced the opening of a new regional processing facility.  The new branch is located in Grapevine and services businesses that ship regularly to Canada and within the U.S. <br />  <br />The Grapevine facility includes 7,000 square feet, and is located in close proximity to the Dallas-Ft.

										<span style="font-size: 8pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">
										</span>
										<span style="font-size: 8pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">provides Purolator USA business customers with several ways to consolidate intra-U.S. small package shipments with Purolator’s industry-leading U.S.-to-Canada services, at a more cost effective rate than leading competitors.</span>

								</p>
								<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 7.5pt 0pt 0in;">
										<span style="font-size: 8pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">The new service marks a re-emergence of the Purolator brand in the domestic U.S. market.  Purolator Courier began U.S. domestic operations in 1947 and the brand was active in the U.S. up until a wave of industry consolidation in the late 1980s.  Purolator Courier continued to operate as the industry leader in Canada and, in 1998, bought back the right to use the Purolator name in the U.S., and the company was reincorporated.</span>

								<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 7.5pt 0pt 0in;">
										<span style="font-size: 8pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;">In more recent years, as Purolator USA focused on its industry-leading cross-border services,and on building a strong regional branch network, it became evident that the Purolator brand remains recognized and well respected among U.S. businesses.</span>

			<title>Press Release - Purolator USA Opens New Gateway Into Canada: Newburgh Facility Provides Premium Coverage for the Eastern U.S.</title>
<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <br />
		<br />
		<p>NEWBURGH, N.Y., January 17, 2005 – Purolator U.S.A.'s northbound distribution business from the U.S. is taking flight with a new gateway terminal located at Stewart Air Force Base in Newburgh, New York. </p>
		<p>As Purolator U.S.A.'s first major induction center in the northeast, the Newburgh terminal (located approximately 75 miles north of New York City) began operations in the fall of 2004, and acts as the main gateway into Canada from northeastern, mid-Atlantic and parts of southeastern U.S. </p>
		<p>"With Purolator U.S.A.'s current initiative to expand our east coast coverage, Newburgh is a great facility situated in a prime location," says John Sweeney, Vice President, Service Quality for Purolator U.S.A. </p>
		<p>As with all Purolator U.S.A. operations, the Newburgh team focuses on the distribution of expedited small packages, less than truckload and full truckload services, alliances with other distribution and logistics companies, transportation management services, and mail and parcel services. Newburgh also provides expert Canadian customs service. </p>
		<p>During the terminal's initial operation, one linehaul trailer was all that was needed to transport shipments to Purolator's Martin Grove terminal (located in Toronto, ON) for distribution. Today, it's not uncommon for two linehaul trailers to make the journey. Newburgh's significant growth is expected to increase substantially over the coming year. </p>
		<p>In addition to the daily linehaul connections, Newburgh also sends an air charter into Purolator's Hamilton Airport consisting of shipments from two major clients. </p>
		<p>

		<p>Jericho, N.Y. — August 15, 2005 — Third party logistics provider and cross-border trade specialist, Purolator USA, Inc., has relocated its national headquarters. The company is now based out of Jericho Plaza in Jericho, N.Y. The move is part of the company's overall expansion efforts in the United States. </p>
		<p>In addition to providing ample space for its expanding US presence, the Jericho location will serve as a support center for the company's new billing and tracking system, PuroCon, which is scheduled to launch this fall. This system will enable Purolator USA to provide enhanced tracking and invoicing for LTL and TL shipments, the company's fastest growing product line. </p>
		<p>Within the last year, Purolator USA has opened several new locations with the goal of facilitating trade between the US and Canada for its clients. Last fall, the company opened its first major induction center in the Northeast United States. </p>
		<p>This operation, located in Newburgh, N.Y. at Stewart Air Force base (approximately 75 miles north of New York City), serves as the gateway for Purolator USA's northbound distribution business into Canada. The company has also opened two new regional sales offices this year, one in Irving, T.X. and the other in Doylestown, P.A. Both areas represent high concentrations of cross-border trade. </p>

			<title>Press Release - Purolator USA Opens Regional Office in Texas to Facilitate Trade Between the Southern United States and Canada</title>

		<p>
		</p>
		<p>Irving, TX—September 16, 2005 — Third party logistics provider and cross-border trade specialist, Purolator USA, Inc., has opened a new regional office in Irving, Texas. This location focuses on helping Southern businesses navigate the hurdles and challenges of exporting their products to Canada, the United States largest trading partner, while realizing the cost, time and service benefits of consolidated distribution. </p>
		<p>Purolator USA Regional Sales Manager, Mark Feeney, will be responsible for the company's expansion efforts in the South. “Our presence in the South will particularly benefit companies with NAFTA trading partners both north and south of the US border,” he says, “as well as those importing from overseas by way of a gulf coast or east coast port.” Purolator's existing clients in the area are sure to benefit as well from the company's strengthened presence in the region. </p>
		<p>Mr. Feeney will oversee a team of consultative logistics experts responsible for developing complete supply chain solutions for US businesses competing in the Canadian marketplace. The group's territory will include all of the gulf states plus Tennessee, Georgia and Oklahoma. </p>
		<p>Canada continues to be the number one destination for exports originating in 37 US states, including Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. According to Mr. Feeney, Purolator clients in the South can expect a 2-day transit time to Canada via the company's air service, and a 2-8 day transit time via ground. </p>

<!-- dr"pagebody".trim = <BR><BR>
<P>Jericho, N.Y.—December 8, 2005—Purolator USA has teamed up with ViaSafe Inc. to implement a new e-cargo reporting system to comply with CBSA's second phase of ACI. </P>
<P>Purolator USA will use ViaSafe's ViaTrade services to electronically manage and deliver customs clearance information to brokers and government agencies. The Purolator-ViaSafe partnership will enable Purolator to comply with ACI's advanced cargo reporting requirements. ViaSafe's ViaTrade services will also provide Purolator with enhanced monitoring and tracking capabilities that will ensure a reduction of border delays and help assure on-time deliveries. </P>
<P>"We needed a reliable and stable process to deliver this vital trade data to the right place at the right time." says John Sweeney, VP of Service Quality, Purolator USA. </P>
<P>"Our clients expect that our transition to this new electronic reporting environment will be seamless and that they would have a smooth and uneventful border experience. Partnering with ViaSafe will ensure that we will be ready when the ACI requirements become mandatory," added Frank Jacketti, Air &amp; Regulatory Manager, Purolator USA. </P>
<P>Oryst Dydynsky, President of ViaSafe International Trade Services, comments, "Electronic reporting will be the new normal for border processing.
