WEST PALM BEACH, FL, May 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Union Equity, Inc. (UNQT.PK) announced today that in a bid to enter and expand the commercial truck sales and leasing market, it acquired R.D.J Financial Services, Inc. with offices in Charlotte, NC and Orlando, FL. As part of this agreement, Union Equity, Inc. purchased R.D. J. and issued to R.D.J.'s shareholder a majority of the common stock and 300,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of Union Equity. In conjunction with this transaction, Union Equity appointed Steven Woodell as President to oversee the expansion of the growing commercial leasing and truck sales line of business. The combined companies will continue to trade under the symbol UNQT through www.otcmarkets.com.
R.D.J. is a commercial truck leasing business engaged in leasing class 8 commercial trucks to owner operators located around the contiguous 48 states. Many owner operators drive on a for hire basis for Fortune 500 companies, while others have their own authority to haul freight throughout the United States. R.D.J.'s strategy has been to target both groups of owner operators through an aggressive marketing program and complete "one stop shop" solution for the owner operator. Through their unique business model, RDJ is able to provide owner operators with a leased truck regardless of their credit history. Owner operators need only to have a valid commercial driver's license, acceptable insurance, proof of a shipper's intent to hire, and a willingness to work.
