Regulation FD Disclosure

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Eric Fuller, commented: “Mr. Ramsdell was instrumental in designing and
developing our digital truckload business, including recruiting a team of developers and technology experts and growing the Variant fleet to 1500 trucks. We thank him for his contributions.”
Mr. Fuller continued: “We have an exceptionally strong and deep team at Variant, including the developers of our
Optimizer. We will continue to operate, grow, and improve Variant from our Atlanta location and expect Variant to continue to be the main growth engine of our Truckload fleet in coming years. While scaling Variant, we see multiple opportunities
for collaboration with subject matter experts in our other operations to improve the value proposition for customers and gain other efficiencies. I am confident the team will be stronger than ever and be better positioned to work collaboratively
and consistent with our culture across the enterprise.”
