SHELTON, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
Oil Purification Systems (OPS) (www.ops-1.com), the leader in fluid cleaning
technology, today announced that Kevin Rutherford, a leading trucking expert and
SIRIUS XM satellite radio personality, has partnered with OPS to install the
OPS-1 on-board oil refining system on the Kevin Rutherford Signature Series
Truck. The Signature Series Truck has been outfitted with the latest cost saving
technology, including the OPS-1 system, to help it run more efficiently and
cost-effectively. The technology packaging will save the owner over $10,000
dollars a year when compared to a standard-equipped rig. The OPS-1 system helps
significantly reduce waste oil, and saves time and money by extending the time
between oil changes. OPS users typically cut oil maintenance costs by as much as
80 percent. 

"On my Sirius XM radio show, I have the opportunity to speak with
owner-operators across the country to discuss all aspects of the trucking
business, including challenges they face and the technology that can help make
their trucks run more efficiently," said Kevin Rutherford. "I have discussed the
OPS-1 system many times on my program with owner-operators and have seen
first-hand the positive results that the system produces. The system
consistently keeps the oil running clean and significantly extends the time
between oil drains. When it came time to find the best technology for my
Signature Series Truck, the OPS-1 system was a natural choice to be included." 

Kevin Rutherford has 20 years of experience in the trucking industry and is
considered one of the top experts in growing a successful owner-operator
business. Rutherford hosts a daily call-in program on Sirius XM satellite radio
called "ATBS Trucking Business and Beyond" that focuses on how company drivers
and owner-operators can become more profitable. Taxes, tires, engines and new
technology are regular topics of discussion. Rutherford`s show can be heard on
SIRIUS channel 147 and XM channel 171. 

The Kevin Rutherford Signature Series Truck is a 2008 Freightliner Coronado,
with a 2004 Detroit 60 Series engine, and was introduced in March at the
Mid-America Trucking Show. The truck will be available for approximately
$105,000 and can be ordered through Fitzgerald Truck Center. 

Greg Slawson, chief operation officer for OPS, said, "We have long valued our
relationship with Kevin Rutherford, and admire his experience and expertise in
the owner-operator market. We are pleased that he has selected the OPS
technology to be a part of his Signature Series Truck, and believe it will play
an important role in helping owner-operators save a significant amount of time
and money with fewer oil changes."
