2009 General Rate Increase

Dear Valued Customer,

First of all, I want to thank you for all the support you have given Dohrn Transfer Company during the past years. You have allowed us to grow into a premier carrier in our service territory and we are grateful to you for helping us to achieve this designation.

As you know most businesses are facing uncertain times and our industry is no exception. With the economic downturn everyone is cutting costs as deep as they can to offset the loss in revenue. We too have taken several steps to reduce costs, unfortunately expenses beyond our control such as insurance, medical payments and workers compensation costs to name a few have all dramatically risen. We have also invested significantly in recent years in updating our technology to provide real-time information and customized service and activity reports for our customers.

Consequently, we find it necessary that we take a general rate increase. On February 2, 2009, Dohrn Transfer Company will take a rate adjustment with an overall impact of approximately 5.9% and a similar increase in minimum charges. We appreciate your understanding in this necessary matter and will continuously look at additional ways to increase efficiency and improve service for you and your customers. Again we wish to thank you for your loyalty and support as we look forward to serving you in the upcoming year.

Respectfully,

Gary Dohrn
President
