                                    FOURTH
                          ADDENDUM TO LOAN AGREEMENT

      This Fourth Addendum to Loan Agreement (the "Addendum") dated this 22nd
day of September 1999, effective as of September 1, 1999, amends and modifies
that certain Loan Agreement dated August 18, 1995 as previously amended by
Addendum to Loan Agreement dated effective August 18, 1996, as further amended
by Second Addendum to Loan Agreement dated effective August 18, 1997, and as
further amended by Third Addendum to Loan Agreement dated effective August 18,
1998 (collectively the "Loan Agreement") by and among REPUBLIC BANK, a Florida
banking corporation (the "Bank"), and THE FREIGHT CONNECTION, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the"Borrower"). All of the capitalized terms used herein shall have
the same identification and defined meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement
unless otherwise specifically indicated or defined herein.

                                   RECITALS:

      A. Borrower has requested the Bank to extend and renew a Revolving Credit
Line Loan (the "Loan") in the amount of $2,000,000.00 under the terms of the
Loan Agreement and this Addendum.

      B. The Bank has agreed to the renewal of the Loan pursuant to the terms of
this Addendum and the other loan documents herein referred.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

      1. Recitals. The above Recitals are true and correct and by this reference
are incorporated herein.

      2. Renewal of Credit Line Loan. The Bank hereby renews the Loan effective
as of September 1, 1999 pursuant to the terms of a Renewal Revolving Line of
Credit Promissory Note of even date herewith (the "Renewal Note") which provides
for an extended maturity date of May 31, 2000.

      3. Security. The Renewal Note shall continue to be secured by the Security
Interests as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

      4. Covenants. The following subparagraph 7.02(k) is added to Paragraph 7
of the Loan Agreement:

      7.02(k) Other Financing: Borrower is prohibited from obtaining other
financing, aside from normal trade payables and affiliated party transactions,
from third parties other than the Bank, without the prior written consent of the
Bank.

      5. Events of Default. Paragraph 8.01 of the Loan Agreement is amended to
provide that upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Bank has the option
of requiring all accounts receivable to be lock-boxed on such terms and
conditions as the Bank may determine.

      6. Warranties. Borrower hereby affirms and warrants that all of the
warranties made in the Loan Documents, and any other documents or instruments
recited herein or executed with respect thereto directly or indirectly, are true
and correct as of the date hereof and that Borrower is not in default of any of

<PAGE>

the foregoing nor aware of any default with respect thereto, and that Borrower
has no defenses or rights of offset with respect to any indebtedness to the
Bank. Borrower hereby releases the Bank from any cause of action against it
existing as of the date of execution hereof. The rights and defenses being
waived and released hereunder include without limitation any claim or defense
based on the Bank having charged or collected interest at a rate greater than
that allowed to be contracted for by applicable law as changed from time to
time, provided, however, in no event shall such waiver and release be deemed to
change or modify the terms of the Loan Documents which provide that sums paid or
received in excess of the maximum rate of interest allowed to be contracted for
by applicable law, as changed from time to time, reduce the principal sum due,
said provision to be in full force and effect.

      7. State taxes. Borrower is liable for the full amount of any documentary
stamps, intangible tax, interest and penalties, if any, levied by the State of
Florida incident to the loan transactions and modifications described in this
Fourth Addendum. If the same be not promptly paid by Borrower when levied by the
State of Florida, the Bank may (without obligation to do so) pay the same.

      8. Consent and waiver. Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and
agrees that the execution of this Fourth Addendum shall in no manner or way
whatsoever impair or otherwise adversely affect Borrower's liability to the Bank
under the Loan Documents or any other instrument set forth in the Recitals or
herein, all as modified by this Fourth Addendum.

      9. Cross Document Default. Any default under the terms and conditions of
this Fourth Addendum or of any instrument set forth herein or contemplated by
this Fourth Addendum shall be and is a default under every other instrument set
forth herein or contemplated by this Fourth Addendum.

     10. Ratification. Except as modified by this Fourth Addendum, Borrower
hereby ratifies and confirms the continued validity and viability of all terms,
conditions and obligations set forth in the Loan Documents and all other
instruments executed in connection with this Fourth Addendum.

     11. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Fourth Addendum
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision hereof shall be prohibited or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity only, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or of the remaining provisions of this Fourth Addendum.

     12. Florida Contract. This Fourth Addendum shall be deemed a Florida
contract and shall be construed according to the laws of the State of Florida,
regardless of whether this Fourth Addendum is executed by certain of the parties
hereto in other states.

     13. Binding effect. This Fourth Addendum shall bind the successors and
assigns to the parties hereto and constitutes the entire understanding of the
parties, which may not be modified except in writing.

     14. Waiver of Jury Trial.  The parties to this Fourth Addendum hereby
irrevocably waive their respective rights to trial by jury in any and all
actions arising out of the terms of this Fourth Addendum.

     15. Conflict. As to any conflict between the terms of the Loan Agreement
or this Fourth Addendum, then the terms of this Fourth Addendum shall supersede

<PAGE>

and control over such other terms.

     16. Other Terms.  Except as specifically amended, modified and supplemented
by this Fourth Addendum, all of the other terms, covenants and conditions of the
Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect.
