	Dallas, Texas, November 14, 2003-Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc.
(Nasdaq: FFEX) today announced that Lee Hassell, of Dallas, has been named
president and chief operating officer of the company's wholly-owned

	"Lee has been fixing problem companies for 20 years and we're excited to
have him on board," said Stoney M. (Mit) Stubbs, Jr., FFEX chairman and chief
executive officer. "I expect to see plenty of good results from Lee's
turnaround expertise during the next 12 months."

	Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such

uncertainties underlying such expectations not materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those expected.
	Among the key factors that are not within management's control and that
may have a bearing on operating results are demand for the company's services

among other things, competition, weather conditions and the general economy,
the availability and cost of labor, the ability to negotiate favorably with
lenders and lessors, the effects of terrorism and war, the availability and
cost of equipment, fuel and supplies, the market for previously-owned
equipment, the impact of changes in the tax and regulatory environment in
