Overnight, Specialty Shipping Program Gives Performance Industry Big Savings

ST. LOUIS, MO, February 19, 2009 -- The performance industry spends an approximate $5 Billion on transportation services each year. For overnight services, teams and manufacturers pay upwards of $1000 for that one-way ticket to ensure it arrives on time, by tomorrow.

A high price to pay, but as is the necessity of "getting it there" the sender has little choice in how or how much it takes - until now.

Performance Plus, Inc., ensures quality high-value freight and specialty services at up to 60% less than industry norms with the launch of its new program, Engines Overnight (R) . Its track record of working the shipping and performance industries helped the young company create a vertical marketing strategy to streamline freight costs into one quick, easy search.

"We've been in the Performance industry for over 30 years now and felt very much that our hands were tied when it came to the dollars we were spending on freight of our high-value equipment and engines," said Gordon Steffens, owner of Performance Plus and owner of a Motorsports team as well. "The Engines Overnight concept of going to just one spot to find the best rate puts that control - and huge savings, back in the hands of the sender."

Steffens has done his homework. He has negotiated rates with over 30 carriers including, FedEx Freight, U.S.F. Holland and Roadway by leveraging his experience in the performance industry and his 25 years of service in sales within the FedEx and Transportation Industry; he was also the creator of the DHL Performance Program. These negotiated prices would be nearly impossible for individuals to replicate on their own, but Steffens' standing in the industry gives him the edge and customers the discount.

"Engines Overnight makes shipping so easy, and they find you the best price," said Kenny Wallace, having just shipped his engine using the new service this past weekend after winning the Ocala Winter Nationals. "Working with Gordon and his team couldn't be better. They know racing and they know how crucial shipping our equipment is."

Engines Overnight serves engine builders, race teams and companies supporting the performance industry, from drag racing, circle track, Road Racing and off-road to boating, cycling and the entire motorsports arena. Customers enter a destination and then select from a list of providers on the best rate and time frame for their needs. Engines Overnight does the price shopping for them - at a significantly lower rate.

Signing up is free and easy, which is why Performance Plus has signed up more than 200 new accounts in the last two weeks including several of the leading engine builders and manufacturers in the industry. Customers can test drive the service with a general login provided on the site, http://www.myperformanceplus.com.

We just wanted racers to know about it and this is a sneak peek of the press release that will be in all of the performance publications world wide . The owner of this company has a son that races USAC Silver Crown and we have shipped for the largest sprint and midget builders in the nation . I ship Focus motors for USAC to tech, in fact we sent one from CA to NC for $177.00 in 3 days . In the period of time when teams are going belly up and cutting back I think people would appreciate being able to be part of a cost saving program that requires no obligation at all .

I was just curious about TMC, because Michael Annett has driven SC and thought that was your connection. I believe TMC is his family's company. Remember the gold "TMC" on Swindell's black #1 car back in the day? Sharp looking car.

Are you guy strictly catering to the motorsports industry? The place I work for in Cincinnati does what I consider a fair amount of shipping for a small company but is not motorsports related.
