ITEM 7.01.

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On Tuesday, March 28, 2017, we hosted a group of investors for meetings with management. In response to a question during the meetings, management, thinking that margin guidance had previously been disclosed, indicated that margins for its Dedicated Contract Services segment are expected to be approximately 12.0% - 13.0% for the full year 2017. Margins for the remaining business unit segments are expected to be approximately 10.5% - 11.5%, 3.0% - 5.0%, and 7.0% - 9.0% for the full year 2017 for Intermodal, Integrated Capacity Solutions, and Truck segments, respectively.

Management confirms its long term margin expectations of 11.0% - 13.0% for both Intermodal and Dedicated Contract Services, 4.0% - 6.0% for Integrated Capacity Solutions and 8.0% - 12.0% for its Truck segment with a focus on sustainable annual revenue growth in all segments.
