The complaint charges Central Freight, Robert V. Fasso, Jerry Moyes, and
Jeffrey A. Hale with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. On December 12,
2003, Central Freight announced that had completed an IPO of 8.5 million shares
of stock pursuant to a Prospectus/Registration Statement. The IPO was priced at
$15.00 per share for total net proceeds of $77.9 million after underwriting
discounts and commissions. In fact, the Prospectus/Registration Statement was
materially false and misleading and failed to disclose, among other things, the
following: (1) that the Company's dynamic resource planning process
implementation was going disastrously; (2) that the Company's aggressive
expansion projects were negatively affecting the Company's margins; (3) that
the Company's insurance and claims accrual rate was off because the Company
failed to have sufficient reverses for accident frequency; and (4) that the
Company was experiencing severe operational issues. As this adverse
information was disclosed, the Company's shares eventually plummeted to $8.55
per share.
Public investors who purchased shares pursuant to or shares traceable to the
IPO based on Central Freight's representations have suffered tens of millions
of dollars in damages.

If you are a member of the class described above, you may, not later than
August 24, 2004, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff of the class, if you
so choose. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of
other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead
plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of
the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately
represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members
may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery
is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead
plaintiff. You may retain Schiffrin & Barroway, or other counsel of your
choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
