Concord, NC -- May 15, 2003 -- Cardinal Logistics Management (Cardinal), a privately held provider of dedicated and delivery transportation services, today announced that Mike Kota has been hired as General Counsel. Kota’s responsibilities include managing internal and external legal affairs for the thriving company.

Kota brings to his new position at Cardinal more than 25 years experience as a labor and employment attorney in the transportation industry. His background includes both 16 years of in-house legal management experience with Ryder System and Leaseway Transportation (now owned by Penske Truck Leasing, Inc.) and nine years in private practice.

According to Cardinal’s CEO, Tom Hostetler, the company’s explosive growth during the past several years precipitated bringing this resource in-house. “Mike’s legal background and achievements in the transportation industry made him the ideal candidate for this new position,” explained Hostetler. “The addition of Mike as General Counsel brings a new dimension to our management team. Our clients will benefit from Mike’s expertise in the constantly shifting landscape of labor and employment law. Cardinal is better positioned to bring real value to private fleet operators grappling with those issues.”

“Cardinal was a perfect match for me personally and professionally,” Kota added. “The management team is extremely motivated and focused on their core business. They are very clear on the type of organization they want and instinctively know the right mix of people that should run it.”

Kota holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Albion College in Michigan. He earned his J.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Law in Nashville, TN. A former resident of Atlanta, Kota and his family now live in Davidson, N.C. His office will be based at Cardinal’s Customer Support Center in Concord, N.C.
