You still deal with your local dealer, but you are billed with AmeriQuest pricing. 3. How do I get an invoice? Your invoicing comes from AmeriQuest via the Corcentric eCommerce system. 4. Do I need a PC with internet access? Access to the internet will allow you to review AmeriQuest’s program information. Invoices can be retrieved by anyone with a computer. 5. Will I pay different prices at different dealers? Your pricing is national – all invoicing comes through AmeriQuest and therefore structured for all locations. 6. Can I have two national accounts for the same Manufacturer? No. Only one national account is permitted per company. 7. Can I discuss the AmeriQuest pricing / rebates with my supplier or rep.? Absolutely not! To protect the integrity of our programs, our pricing is confidential – in most cases the local dealer does not know what you pay. 8. When are rebates paid out?

Our Newest Program AmeriQuest Asset Services AmeriQuest Remarketing is a product line of AmeriQuest Asset Services that was developed exclusively for the benefit of AmeriQuest participants. The single goal at AmeriQuest Remarketing is achieving the premium return on your used fleet for the benefit of your company’s bottom line. AmeriQuest retains one of the largest databases of buyers. Coast to coast we have manufacturer dealers, large independent dealers, and more importantly, the medium and small independents who pay more as well as auctions and exporters. Questtrucks.com is the interactive website for remarketing fleets for AmeriQuest members. Buyers from all over the country visit this website looking for great trucks. Broadcast e-mails are sent to almost 2,000 buyers on a regular basis advertising Questtrucks.com and the latest fleets available. We also advertise your fleet in the most effective industry sales guides (Truck Trader, Truckpaper.com, etc). We have the pulse of the market and know what trucks are really worth today. What is required of you? Simply provide AmeriQuest Remarketing all of your fleet information and we do the rest. It is a seamless process. AmeriQuest will normally work with a single resource within your operation. AmeriQuest handles and pays for all advertising, all of the phone calls and finally all of the paper work, title issues etc. AmeriQuest Remarketing will normally remarket your equipment right from you facilities to save unnecessary transfer dollars. 13
