Computer-savvy truckers will survive and even prosper during difficult economic times.
How are they using technology to stay ahead? Contest solicits trucker stories of
technology usage.

Toledo, OH, July 31, 2008—Toledo-based Roemer Insurance today announced a contest
celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week (August 24-30) and targeting the computersavvy
trucker. Contest participants are asked to tell their story by emailing or sending a threeminute
video detailing how they are using technology to stay ahead in a difficult economy. “Insure
My Rig, the small fleet division of Roemer Insurance, (www.insuremyrig.com ) was built on the
assumption that the computer-savvy trucker would prosper during challenging times and thus be
an ideal client,” said President and CEO, Rocky Roemer. “A few years ago, people laughed at the
notion of “computer-savvy truckers,” but today’s trend toward using technology in trucking
validates our original premise,” he added. According to Mr. Roemer, truck drivers are asked to
send an email or submit a short video (no more than three-minutes) describing the different ways
they use technology to buy the least expensive fuel, pull the highest paying loads, run the fewest
miles empty, and maintain equipment in the highest possible peak of good condition.
The contest starts on August 1st and runs through August 24th. The best and most creative answer
will be chosen as the winner and the winner will be awarded a Dell XPS 1530 laptop computer
valued at $1,299.00 (http://xrl.us/om4r ). The XPS M1530 is a multimedia performance machine
with sleek design and a rich feature set and includes 250GB hard drive and Dell Travel Remote
Control integrated 2.0M pixel Webcam—all in a perfectly-sized 15.4" laptop. “We are genuinely
interested in learning about how truck drivers are using technology to prosper during these difficult
times,” commented Mike Lawrence, manager of Insure My Rig. “We thought giving the winner a
brand new laptop equipped with gaming capabilities and a built-in web cam would make the
contest particularly appealing,” he stated. According to Mr. Lawrence, in celebration of National
Truck Driver Appreciation Week, the company will award additional prizes. The second place
winner will be given $500 worth of fuel and three third place prizes of $100 worth of fuel will be
awarded.

The winner will be chosen and notified during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, which
runs from August 24th through August 30th. The winning video will be posted on YouTube and
other social media websites. “We join the rest of the country in celebrating the contributions made
by America’s truck drivers,” said Rocky Roemer. “Truckers are essential to our nation’s economic
health and to our individual comfort. Without them our society simply cannot function,” he added.
