Echo Global Logistics Announces Opening of New Office in Dallas, Texas

CHICAGO, April 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Echo Global Logistics, Inc.
(Nasdaq:ECHO), a leading provider of technology enabled transportation and
supply chain management services, today announced that it will open a new office
in Dallas, Texas on April 5, 2010. The new office is aligned with management's
strategy to penetrate untapped markets and capture further market share in the
U.S.

The focus of the Company's new branch is to develop the regional sales
organization in key metropolitan areas throughout the country. The Dallas office
will perform sales functions similar to the Chicago Headquarters and other

allow Echo to strengthen existing relationships and expand its service area into
the Southern region, where the Company currently has no physical location.

"We are thrilled to expand Echo's services into the South," said Douglas
Waggoner, chief executive officer. "Dallas is a major transportation hub for the
Southern region of the U.S. and holds a great amount of growth potential for our
Company. We look forward to developing new relationships in this region as we
continue to build out our domestic footprint."

The Dallas office will be led by Mike Bryan, who has been with Echo since
October 2008. Bryan will serve as Regional Branch Manager in the Dallas office.
The office will initially be staffed with 10-12 new hire sales representatives.
The 12-month hiring forecast is 30-40 employees.

The office will be located at 1845 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Suite 1050 Dallas,
Texas 75201.
