         For value received, UNITED SHIPPING & TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Utah
corporation (the "Company"), hereby grants to _________________________________,
_________________________, or its transferees and assigns, the right to purchase
from the Company __________________________________________________ (__________)
Warrant Shares (as defined herein) at a price per Share equal to $0.01 (the
"Exercise Price"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section
3 hereof.

         This Warrant is one of the "Warrants" (collectively, the "Warrants")
issued pursuant to the terms of a Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of January 4,
2001 between the Company and the Investors named therein (as amended, restated
or modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"). Certain capitalized terms
used herein are defined in Section 3 hereof.

         This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:

         SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.

         1A. Exercise Period. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant
may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time
until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 4, 2006 or, if such day is not a
business day, on the next preceding business day (the "Exercise Period").

         1B. Exercise Procedure.

                  (i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised when
         all of the following items have been delivered to the Company (the
         "Exercise Time"):

                           (a) a completed Exercise Agreement, as described in
                  Section 1C below, executed by the Person exercising all or
                  part of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (the
                  "Purchaser");


                                       1
<PAGE>


                           (b) this Warrant;

                           (c) if the Purchaser is not the Registered Holder, an
                  Assignment or Assignments in the form set forth in Exhibit II
                  attached hereto evidencing the assignment of this Warrant to
                  the Purchaser; and

                           (d) a check or wire transfer payable to the Company
                  in an amount equal to the product of the Exercise Price
                  multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased
                  upon such exercise (the "Aggregate Exercise Price").

                  (ii) Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased upon exercise
         of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser
         within five (5) days after the date of the Exercise Time. Unless this
         Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby
         have been exercised, the Company shall prepare a new Warrant,
         substantially identical hereto, representing the rights formerly
         represented by this Warrant which have not expired or been exercised
         and shall, within such five-day period, deliver such new Warrant to the
         Person designated for delivery in the Exercise Agreement.

                  (iii) The Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
         Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Purchaser at the
         Exercise Time, and the Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes to
         have become the Registered Holder of such Warrant Shares at the
         Exercise Time.

                  (iv) The Company shall not close its books against the
         transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares issued or issuable
         upon the exercise of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with
         the timely exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall from time to
         time take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par
         value per share of the unissued Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise
         of this Warrant is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise
         Price then in effect. In the event that the Company fails to comply
         with its obligations set forth in the foregoing sentence, the Purchaser
         may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase Warrant Shares hereunder
         at par value, and the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the
         Purchaser for the aggregate amount of consideration paid in connection
         with such exercise in excess of the Exercise Price then in effect.

                  (v) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise
         of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a
         public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of
         stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the
         Registered Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such
         transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be
         effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such
         transaction.

                  (vi) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available
         out of its authorized but unissued Preferred Stock solely for the
         purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum
         number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
         All Warrant Shares which are so issuable shall, when issued and upon
         the payment of the applicable Exercise Price, be duly and validly
         issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and
         charges except those created by actions of the holder hereof. The


                                       2
<PAGE>


         Company shall take all such reasonable actions as may be necessary to
         ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued without violation
         by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation.

         1C. Exercise Agreement. Upon any exercise of this Warrant, the
Purchaser shall deliver to the Company an Exercise Agreement in substantially
the form set forth as Exhibit I hereto, except that if the Warrant Shares are
not to be issued in the name of the Registered Holder, the Exercise Agreement
shall also state the name of the Person to whom the certificates for the Warrant
Shares are to be issued, and if the number of Warrant Shares to be issued does
not include all of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, it shall also state
the name of the Person to whom a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the
rights hereunder is to be issued.

         SECTION 2. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. In order
to prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Warrant, the number of
Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.

         2A. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any
time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time
combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.

         2B. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or other transaction,
which in each case is effected in such a way that the holders of Common Stock
are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred
to herein as "Organic Change." Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change,
the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Registered
Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive,
in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable
upon the exercise of such holder's Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or
assets as such Registered Holder would have received in connection with such
Organic Change if such Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant in full
immediately prior to such Organic Change. In each such case, the Company shall
make appropriate provision with respect to such holder's rights and interests to
insure that the provisions of this Section 2 shall thereafter be applicable to
this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or
sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other
than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity
purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver
to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.


                                       3

         2C. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions,
then the Company's Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in
the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to
protect the rights of the holders of this Warrant; PROVIDED, that no such
adjustment shall increase or decrease the number of Warrant Shares obtainable as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.

         2D. Notices.

                  (i) The Company shall give written notice to the Registered
         Holder at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Company closes
         its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any pro rata
         subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (b) for determining
         rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or
         liquidation.

                  (ii) The Company shall also give written notice to the
         Registered Holders at least 20 days prior to the date on which any
         Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation shall take place.

         SECTION 3. Definitions. The following terms have the meanings set forth

         "Preferred Stock" means, collectively, the Series D Convertible

issued following the date of this Warrant senior to such Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, and any securities into which such Preferred Stock is hereafter
converted or exchanged.

         "Subsidiary" means, with respect to any Person, any corporation,
limited liability company, partnership, association or other business entity of
which (i) if a corporation, a majority of the total voting power of shares of
stock entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any contingency) to vote in
the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof is at the time owned or
controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other
Subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof, or (ii) if a limited
liability company, partnership, association or other business entity, a majority
of the partnership or other similar ownership interest thereof is at the time
owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more
Subsidiaries of that Person or a combination thereof. For purposes hereof, a
Person or Persons shall be deemed to have a majority ownership interest in a
limited liability company, partnership, association or other business entity if
such Person or Persons shall be allocated a majority of limited liability

<PAGE>


than the Company or there is a change in the class of securities so issuable,
then the term "Warrant Shares" shall mean shares of the security issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant if such security is issuable in shares, or shall mean
the equivalent units in which such security is issuable if such security is not
issuable in shares.

         SECTION 4. No Voting Rights; Limitations of Liability. This Warrant
shall not entitle the Registered Holder hereof to any voting rights or other
rights as a stockholder of the Company. No provision hereof, in the absence of
affirmative action by the Registered Holder to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder shall
give rise to any liability of such Registered Holder for the Exercise Price of
Warrant Shares acquirable by exercise hereof or as a stockholder of the Company.

         SECTION 5. Transferability. Subject to compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable securities law, this Warrant and

Assignment (in the form of Exhibit II hereto).

         SECTION 6. Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This
Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Registered Holder at

Holder at the time of such surrender. At the request of the Registered Holder
(pursuant to a transfer of this Warrant or otherwise), this Warrant may be
exchanged for one or more Warrants to purchase Common Stock. The date the

hereof regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the
unexpired and unexercised rights formerly represented by this Warrant shall be
issued.

         SECTION 7. Exchange. In the event that it becomes unlawful or, in the
reasonable judgment of any Registered Holder of this Warrant, unduly burdensome
by reason of a change in legal or regulatory considerations or the
interpretation thereof affecting the ability of financial institutions or their
affiliates to hold equity securities, or any material change (including a
reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding) in the capital
structure of the Company, to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares, the
Registered Holder of this Warrant shall have the right to require all or part of
this Warrant or such Registered Holder's Warrant Shares to be exchanged for
nonvoting stock or similar interests that convey equivalent economic benefits to
such Warrant or Warrant Shares. Any such exchange shall occur as soon as
practicable but in any event within sixty (60) days after written notice by the
Registered Holder of this Warrant to the Company (or such earlier date if
required to comply with applicable law).

         SECTION 8. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company (an affidavit of the Registered Holder shall be
satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation
of any certificate evidencing this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss,
theft, or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Company (PROVIDED, that if the Registered Holder is a financial institution or
other institutional investor its own Agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in
the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Company
shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of


                                       5
<PAGE>


such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the same rights
represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated certificate and dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated certificate.

         SECTION 9. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and deliveries referred to in this Warrant shall be in writing, shall be
delivered personally, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid or sent via nationally recognized overnight
courier or via facsimile, and shall be deemed to have been given when so
delivered (or when received, if delivered by any other method) if sent (i) to
the Company, at its principal executive offices, and (ii) to a Registered
Holder, at such Registered Holder's address as it appears in the records of the
Company (unless otherwise indicated by any such Registered Holder).

         SECTION 10. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any
action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be
performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the prior written consent of
the Registered Holder.

         SECTION 11. Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain at its
principal executive offices books for the registration and the registration of
transfer of Warrants. The Company may deem and treat the Registered Holder as
the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other
writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 12. Descriptive Headings; Governing Law. The descriptive
headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for
convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. THE CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OR CHOICE OF
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE
APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
