ABOUT PINNACLE TRANSPORTATION INC.

Pinnacle is a four-year-old company based in Mesa, Arizona that specializes in
transporting Manufactured Homes, Modular Homes, Schools and Offices.  Pinnacle,
with, the addition of its new Dispatch Terminal in Southern California, is the
largest Heavy Haul Transporter in the Western United States.  This newest
addition brings the total of its Terminals in the West to 10.

Pinnacle was incorporated in 2000 by Shawn Kling, a seasoned veteran of the
Heavy Haul Transport Industry, to take advantage of what he saw as the eventual
consolidation opportunities that would arise in the new millennium.

The Industry unlike the general transport or LTL has many barriers to entry. 
It is highly specialized and demands experienced and knowledgeable skilled
drivers.  Special licensing and permits are required.  Expensive insurance
coverage and extensive routing knowledge is critical for successful operations.
 In addition some shipments require special equipment such as modular trailers
to meet the customer's needs.  There are few companies that can meet these
stringent requirements.

Pinnacle ships for companies in the Manufactured Housing Industry.  The
Manufacturers have 275 factories throughout the Nation producing units that
have an economic impact in excess of  $20 Billion.  Source -- Manufactured
Housing Institute 2003.  Manufacturers have reported a sales increase in
Modular Homes, they are permanent structures sited on conventional foundations.
 This increase has been helped by the recent lending announcements of Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae for loans specifically designed for Manufactured and Modular
homes.  Warren Buffet recently gave a ringing endorsement of the industry's
long-term viability by recently purchasing two of the industry leaders, Oakwood
Homes and Clayton Homes for his Berkshire Hathaway portfolio.  Pinnacle
currently ships for six of the industry's top ten companies and has the
specialized Modular Trailers to service this growing market segment.
