This document contains information and forward-looking statements that are based on
management's current beliefs and expectations and assumptions which are based upon information
currently available. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to plans, strategies,
objectives, expectations, intentions, and adequacy of resources, and may be identified by words
such as "will", "could", "should", "believe", "expect", intend", "plan", "schedule", "estimate", "project"
and similar expressions. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to
uncertainty and change.

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized.
Should one or more of the risks or 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 and products, and its ability to
meet that demand, which may be affected by, 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 which the company operates, operational risks and insurance, risks
associated with the technologies and systems used and the other risks and uncertainties described
in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Key Performance Indicators

*

The good news:

•Positive trends, sequentially on key business drivers. Asset
productivity improvement, measured by R/T/W driven by
better utility of our equipment and an increase in our revenue-
enhancing services (such as dedicated services).

• Able to maintain and in some cases such as that in Q3 and
Q4 of 2007, grow freight volumes on a relatively flat pricing
structure in a tough freight market.

• Improvement in our average length of haul as a result of
positive results seen in growing our asset-based
intermodal business.

• Modest improvement in our empty mile ratio driven by
tightening our preferred freight network with the help of
optimization software.

• Maintain a steady extraction of power units from our
capacity-saturated marketplace, thereby making more
efficient and optimal use of fewerresources (both trucks and
drivers) while maintaining quality service to our customers at
competitive prices.

Other news:

•In Q4/2007, we incurred higher expenses
in some areas that will negatively impact our
overall financial results driven primarily by:

• Increased fuel expense that was not
fully recovered by surcharges

• Increased claims and insurance
from events that occurred in Q4/2007
and adverse development of certain
older claims.

• LTL tonnage during Q4/2007 saw a
seasonal decline, however, improved over
last year’s same quarter.

• LTL revenue per hundredweight softened
more than expected.

of four Directors of Enterprise Development. This team is to sell logistics,
brokerage, dry TL, Dedicated services, Inter-modal, expedited freight,
and temperature-controlled TL and LTL

•Carrier-sourcing tools in MG will aid in the freight selection process as loads can be
sourced from carriers quickly resulting in increased gross margin percentages

stop-offs, loading/unloading, equipment type and specific geographical or time
period cost levels; used to negotiate prices or accept/reject loads
