NEW YORK (March 11, 2008) - FleetOwner's FleetSeek data products group, a leading provider of data on the trucking industry, today announced the release of its new 2008 edition of the National Motor Carrier Directory, part of FleetSeek's Web-accessible suite of industry contact information and fleet demographics databases. This unique directory provides detailed data on 25,500 for-hire trucking fleets with headquarters in the United States. FleetOwner's FleetSeek data products group is owned by Penton Media.

The National Motor Carrier Directory is available at www.fleetseek.com . Subscribers to the National Motor Carrier Directory receive a 12-month unlimited Web access to related directory data on FleetSeek.com, as well as the hard copy edition of the directory. The National Motor Carrier Directory database, with almost 50,000 total for-hire company listings, contains additional records not included in the printed directory due to space constraints.

Subscribers can view, select, sort and print fleet profiles online. Selection criteria include company; DOT or MCN number; city, county, state, zip code or range of zips; total fleet; number of trucks, tractors or trailers; trailer type; fleet type; industry group; SIC code; or GVW. Selection fields can be used separately or in combination. Selected carriers can be sorted a variety of ways, and printed as thumbnail sketches or detailed fleet profiles.

Additions, enhancements and deletions to directory files are made continuously and uploaded within 72 hours. Customers are entitled to all changes to their subscription files at no additional cost.

The entire National Motor Carrier Directory database is available for purchase as a downloadable file, allowing it to be imported into other software or contact management programs to support telemarketing and direct mail campaigns (100% mail delivery guarantee).
