Derek Leathers Quotations

We're doing everything we can to give them the newest trucks on the road. We think our fleet is one of the newest out there, and that's something drivers appreciate.

Shippers that are not aligned with their carriers and carriers that aren't approaching their shippers in a collaborative way are really going to suffer. It's a difficult marketplace.

We ended 2005 with the average age of our fleet at 1.23 years. We want to continue to do that through 2006 so that we can mitigate the impact of the 2007 engines as much as possible.

We use a lot of technology to split loads or trips at the mid-point or other points so a driver can maximize hours while the load continues to move.
