	Dallas, Texas, February 13, 2003 -	Frozen Food Express
Industries, Inc. today  announced that long-time board member Edgar O.
Weller has retired from the board.  Mr. Weller, a founder of the
company and the board's vice chairman, served until 1984 as the
board's chairman and the company's chief executive officer--posts he
had held since 1978. Mr. Weller has been named a Senior Advisor to the
board.
     Jerry T. Armstrong, a veteran of more than 40 years in the
trucking transportation business, has been elected to the Frozen Food
Express Industries, Inc. Board of Directors by the board.	Mr.
Armstrong, 63, will serve until the company's 2003 annual meeting
when he will be a candidate for shareholder election to the board.
	Chairman and CEO of Wind Associates, Inc., a private investment
and management company, Mr. Armstrong has held chief executive
positions with and served on the boards of ANR Freight Systems, Inc.,
Garrett Freight Lines, Inc., Riss International, Inc., Johnson Motor
Lines, Merchants, Inc. and the Wedge Group, Inc.--all transportation
related companies.
	Mr. Armstrong currently serves on the board of directors of
Landair Corporation (Nasdaq: LAND).
	Stoney M. (Mit) Stubbs, Jr., chairman and CEO, said, "While we
will miss Edgar's active board participation, his wisdom and his long
and strong ties to this company, we are excited to add Jerry's diverse
experience in the trucking business to our board."
 	Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. is the largest publicly-
owned, temperature-controlled carrier of perishable goods (primarily
