3. The Empty Miles Problem • Cost of fuel and truck operations are escalating and contributing to increased supply chain cost and inefficiency. • Empty trucks consume time and fuel on return legs of freight lanes. • 28% of miles are empty per NPTC (National Private Truck Council). • Companies pay a freight premium to cover returning empty trucks. • Limited existing technology to identify opportunities for Back Hauling also coupled with collaborative business processes to match the shipper and potential carrier companies. • We are in the middle of tough economic times. • Focus on the environment and sustainability is increasing. • Emissions Reduction is a key plank in most companies’ strategies.

4.

7. The Sustainability Movement

8. Taking Action • Kraft Foods is testing technology to reduce fuel consumption, including replacing 25% of their tractors with cleaner burning engines and auxiliary power units (APU’s). #3 Ranked Private Fleet operator is working with suppliers to reduce the amount of packaging they use More goods in the same truck space = fewer shipments and lower fuel usage Sustainability Milestone Meeting – 7/16/09 – Announced Sustainable Product Index

11. Empty Miles is a “Quick Win” for sustainability initiatives Just one empty lane* per week**(*Lane = origin / destination location pair) • Eliminates over 41 tons of CO2 per year • Saves over 3,700 gallons of diesel • At $2.70 per gallon – that’s over $10,000 • That’s the equivalent of nearly 20 barrels of crude oil ** Based on the annual impact of a 500 mile lane run once per week. CO2 emissions are based on the EPA emissions calculator (22 lbs per gallon diesel)Fuel consumption based on equipment rated at 7mpgCrude oil consumption based on EPA analysis of average crude refinement 3700 gallon tank

16. The Macy’s / Schneider National Case Study Presented by Steve Matheys Executive Vice President Chief Administration Officer SCHNEIDER NATIONAL, INC

17. Macy’s / Schneider Case Study • What: Two progressive companies — Macy’s Inc., the nation’s premier retailer, and Schneider National, a leading provider of transportation and logistics — joined forces with a renewed sense of urgency to solve this age-old, yet contemporary issue. • How: Working together to solve a problem and create mutual value, Schneider and Macy’s are realizing both financial and environmental gains by filling empty trailers with the help of the Empty Miles Service. • The Results: Macy’s / Schneider average an annual $25,000 savings and over 150 tons of CO2 reductions per lane !!!

18. The Benefits Have Been Real

19. The Retailer’s Perspective • Macy’s is an organization committed to improving sustainability at every level. • Macy’s urges its suppliers to get involved with the Empty Miles Service for a clear understanding of opportunities to eliminate or minimize wasteful spending and movement. • Working together to identify round-trip opportunities where one leg is empty, Macy’s determines where opportunities exist to fill empty trailers. • Since inception, Macy’s has identified 44 additional lane opportunities where the company can benefit. Bill Connell, EVP Logistics, Macy’s Inc : "It is important for us to implement business practices that are sensitive to the environment. The Empty Miles Program greatly supports that premise while continuing to drive operational efficiency.”

20. The Carrier’s Perspective • Schneider National and Macy’s came together to proactively tackle the empty miles problem head on • Both companies understood that significant work was required to create a durable solution where both companies win • Traditionally, carriers and retailers try to fill backhaul opportunities by manually searching within their own company and through their external network • With the Empty Miles Service, carriers or private fleets (lane publishers) can post their empty trucks/trailers and routes, while shippers (lane subscribers) can post their transportation needs • Key Benefits for the Carrier • When filling empty miles, carriers can actually satisfy two customers: the original shipper and potentially a new backhaul shipper leading to greater customer satisfaction and expanded market share

21. The Carrier’s Perspective • Robin Heugel, Network Manager, Dedicated Operations, Schneider National: “Carriers want nothing more than to optimize the utilization of their trucks and trailers and the Empty Miles Service ensures that everything possible is being done to guarantee that we’re not shipping air.” • The bottom line: Filling empty miles with the VICS Empty Miles service is … • … good for the economy, • … good for the environment, • … and it’s good for business

22. Macy’s / Schneider Case Study Summarized • What does it take to be successful? • Two companies with a common objective to drive out waste in their transportation solutions thus saving money and reducing emissions • A willingness to work together to find solutions that create value for both parties • A committed set of leaders who will help overcome the inevitable obstacles • A strong belief that there is a better way to do things
