MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-11
We operate in a cyclical industry. Freight demand was degraded throughout all of 2023 and continued to be weak during 2024 and 2025. We have begun to see some encouraging signs related to market capacity reductions and freight demand improvements in 2026. We believe that meaningful improvements in f…
In addition to past organic growth through the development of our operating areas, we have completed ten acquisitions since 1986 with the most recent and our fifth acquisition since 2013, CFI, occurring on August 31, 2022 following the acquisition of Smith Transport on May 31, 2022. These ten acquis…
The issue of a decreasing amount of overall qualified and safe operating CDL drivers in our industry continues.

Millis Training Institute, opened in 1989, and Heartland Training Institute, opened in 2022, are driver training programs dedicated to identifying, training, and developing capable individuals into obtaining their commercial driving license and becoming professional truck drivers. These driver train…
Current government focus on English language proficiency requirements, as well as reviews of CDL status for non-domiciled drivers, will potentially eliminate some level of driver capacity in our industry. We believe this could help improve supply and demand dynamics currently being experienced in ou…

to many of our major customers, as well as allowed us to build solid, long-term relationships with customers and brand ourselves as an industry leader for on-time service.
We operate in a cyclical industry. In early 2022, freight demand was initially strong, but demand began to soften in the back half of 2022 and continued to degrade throughout all of 2023 and continued to be weak throughout 2024 and 2025. Currently, the overall capacity of available equipment in our …

We expect to continue to evaluate acquisition candidates presented to us, however, we do not expect to make any significant acquisitions while we are paying down debt. We believe future growth depends upon several factors including the level of economic growth and the related customer demand, the av…

Risk factors
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-11
While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in the section entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors," describes some of …
We self-insure for a significant portion of our claims and have exposure outside of our insurance coverage, which could significantly increase the volatility of, and decrease the amount of, our earnings.
Our future insurance and claims expense might exceed historical levels, which could reduce our earnings. Our business results in a substantial number of claims and litigation related to workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, cargo and property damage claims, personal injuries, and…
We maintain insurance for most risks above the amounts for which we self-insure with licensed insurance carriers. We do not currently maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, although we are obligated to indemnify them against certain liabilities they may incur while serving in such cap…
In April 2026, we renewed our primary auto liability insurance with a three year program. Under the April 2026 renewal, our auto liability retention limit across all operating entities was increased to $5.0 million for any individual claim, subject to a $6.5 million aggregate corridor for any one ac…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
