Pay Versus Performance

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information to explain the annual Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) of our principal executive officer (CEO); the average CAP of the other NEO; the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”); TSR for our self-selected peer group (the NASDAQ Industrial Transportation Index; which will be replaced by the Dow Jones Transportation Index in our 2025 Proxy Statement, as a result of having transferred the listing of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange from the Nasdaq Stock Market on Tuesday, November 21, 2023); Net Income; and that financial performance measure that we have determined most directly links operational performance to compensation actually paid to the our NEOs for the most recently completed fiscal year.

CAP, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year due to the impact of long-term incentive compensation within our pay program.

The following tables set forth information regarding CEO and average other NEO CAP versus financial and operational performance for the year ended December 31, 2023; the measures that we deem to be most important when determining executive compensation; and a comparison of CAP to the CEO and the average CAP to the other NEO versus TSR for our Company and our select peer group and our Company’s Net Income and Operating Income:

SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine “compensation actually paid” as reported in the Pay Versus Performance Table. CAP amounts include total compensation per the Summary Compensation Table, less grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs, plus the change in fair value of equity awards during the current year. The following table details these adjustments.
(3)
In 2023, the other NEOs were Messrs: Daniel R. Wall, Richard H. Rostan, Blake R. Bell and Bradley S. Powell. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, the other NEOs were Messrs: Eugene K. Alger, Daniel R. Wall, Richard H. Rostan, and Bradley S. Powell.
(4)
Total Shareholder Return, NASDAQ Industrial Transportation Index and the Dow Jones Transportation Average are determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100.
(5)
At year-end 2020, PSUs granted in 2018 and 2020 were remeasured assuming achievement of maximum performance criteria for purposes of CAP compared to target at grant date.
(6)
At year-end 2021, PSUs granted in 2019 were remeasured assuming achievement of maximum performance criteria for purposes of CAP compared to target at grant date.
(7)
At year-end 2023, PSUs granted in 2022 were remeasured assuming threshold performance criteria will not be achieved for purposes of CAP compared to target at grant date.
