EXHIBIT 99.4

               STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER
               AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
                 CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, James R. Crane, state and attest that:

         (1)   To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
               reports of EGL, Inc., and, except as corrected or supplemented in
               a subsequent covered report:

               o    no covered report contained an untrue statement of a
                    material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
                    report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
                    proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

               o    no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                    to make the statements in the covered report, in light of
                    the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
                    as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                    the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
                    materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

         (2)   I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
               audit committee.

         (3)   In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on
               or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

               o    the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
                    31, 2001 of EGL, Inc.;

               o    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                    definitive proxy materials of EGL, Inc. filed with the
                    Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
                    identified above; and

               o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
