(OTC PINK: GTVH) (“GTV” or the “Company”) is excited to announce it has received financial commitment to launch an internal, full-service freight brokerage business which aims to significantly expand its logistics capabilities.

To ensure a successful launch of its freight brokerage business, Cargo Management Group will establish a new location and call center to drive sales and manage operations efficiently. The Company received full financial support from TK Zarro to obtain state-of-the-art freight brokerage software, Transportation Management System (TMS), and load board subscriptions to streamline all operations and improve service delivery. Additionally, plans to hire and train skilled freight brokers, dispatchers, and customer service representatives are in motion to ensure a high level of expertise and efficiency in handling logistics operations. A comprehensive marketing strategy is being developed and will be implemented to attract new clients and build strong industry partnerships.

GTV plans to follow these successful models, aiming to become a recognizable player in the industry, drive revenue growth and increase shareholder value. Industry leaders such as C.H. Robinson, J.B.
