@Road® Driver Logs Service Update Helps Customers Automatically Comply with New Department of Transportation Hours-of-Service Regulations

FREMONT, CA -- December 9, 2003 -- @Road (Nasdaq: ARDI), a leading provider of mobile resource management (MRM) services, today announced plans to release an update to its Driver Logs service to enable customers to comply with the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's new Hours-of-Service (HOS) regulations. Effective January 4, 2004, HOS regulatory changes will include off- and on-duty time, driving time and cumulative restarts for all property carrying commercial drivers and motorcoaches.

Intended as an enhancement to public safety, the new Federal rules state that a mobile worker may drive for 11 hours, following which he must spend 10 hours off-duty. Additionally, a mobile worker may not drive beyond the fourteenth hour after coming on-duty, following which he must spend 10 hours off-duty. For additional information visit the DOT website at www.fmcsa.dot.gov.

Because @Road offers its services on a hosted basis, customers have access to up-to-the-minute enhancements to their @Road applications without the need to upgrade hardware or download software. Unlike other solutions that require users to install new firmware, download new applications or modify back-end systems, the @Road Driver Logs service update is designed to enable customers to automatically comply with the new HOS regulations. No user intervention will be required.

"We design @Road applications to help customers reduce their costs of doing business," said Krish Panu, president and CEO of @Road. "We believe that the @Road Driver Logs service is a critical business tool for any commercial transportation company seeking to optimize operations and increase profitability. When the hours-of-service regulations change on January 4, our customers can be confident that their @Road Driver Logs service complies with the most current HOS requirements."
