Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc.

Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: FFEX) said today that its Board of Directors has declared the company's first quarterly cash dividend since 1999 and authorized additional repurchases of its common stock.

FFEX recently announced the signing of a new credit agreement with its banks, which it said "significantly" loosened restrictions on paying cash dividends and on repurchasing its common stock.

The three-cent per share dividend will be paid on December 1, 2006 to shareholders of record as of November 22, 2006. Until it ceased paying cash dividends in 1999, the company had a 29-year history of paying cash dividends.

"We're very pleased to resume our tradition of paying cash dividends to our shareholders," said Stoney M. (Mit) Stubbs, Jr. The Board's stock buy- back resolution authorizes the company to purchase up to one million shares of its common stock. "Earlier this year, the Board authorized the repurchase of 750 thousand shares and, of that, 318,400 remain to be purchased. This new authorization should provide us the flexibility to continue with our buybacks well into 2007."

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the company repurchased almost 1.1 million of its shares. "We believe that buying back our stock at current prices is a very good investment," Mr. Stubbs said.

As of November 1, 2006, these were 17.6 million shares of FFEX stock outstanding.
