NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for subsequent quarterly periods or the year ending December 31, 2013.

The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to “Old Dominion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Prior Period Adjustments

During the second quarter of 2013, we determined that the costs of purchased transportation for certain truckload brokerage and freight forwarding services, which were previously netted against revenue, met the criteria to be presented separately in operating expenses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The amount of these costs that are now included in “Purchased transportation” on our Condensed Statements of Operations totaled $6.8 million and $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $12.7 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The accompanying Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were corrected to reflect the immaterial increases to both revenue and purchased transportation expense. There was no effect on retained earnings, operating income, net income or earnings per share for any period presented.

The Company will also record correcting adjustments to increase both revenue and purchased transportation for the third and fourth quarters of 2012 of $6.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Common Stock Split

On August 13, 2012, we announced a three-for-two common stock split for shareholders of record as of the close of business on the record date, August 24, 2012. On September 7, 2012 those shareholders received one additional share of common stock for every two shares owned. In lieu of fractional shares, shareholders received a cash payment based on the average of the high and low sales prices of our common stock on the record date.

All references in this report to shares outstanding, weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share amounts have been restated retroactively for this stock split.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, trade payables and current maturities of long-term debt, approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $228.8 million and $240.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $237.4 million and $247.9 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The balance of our long-term debt primarily consists of our senior notes for which fair value is estimated using market interest rates for similar issuances of private debt. Since this methodology is based upon indicative market interest rates, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Note 2. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Senior notes	$	191,429		$	227,143
Revolving credit facility	34,680			10,000
Capitalized leases and other obligations	2,688			3,264
Total long-term debt	228,797			240,407
Less: Current maturities	(38,403		)	(38,978		)
Total maturities due after one year	$	190,394		$	201,429

We have three outstanding unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $191.4 million and $227.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These notes call for periodic principal payments with maturities that range from 2015 to 2021, of which $35.7 million is due in the next twelve months. Interest rates on these notes are fixed and range from 4.00% to 5.85%. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding senior note agreements was 4.99% and 5.07% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

We have a five-year, $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms of a second amended and restated credit agreement dated August 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) serving as administrative agent for the lenders. Of the $200.0 million line of credit commitments, $150.0 million may be used for letters of credit and $20.0 million may be used for borrowings under the Wells Fargo Sweep Plus Loan Program. This sweep program is a daily cash management tool that automatically initiates borrowings to cover overnight cash requirements up to an aggregate of $20.0 million. In addition, we have the right to request an increase in the line of credit commitments up to a total of $300.0 million in minimum increments of $25.0 million. At our option, revolving loans under the facility bear interest at either: (a) the Applicable Margin Percentage for Base Rate Loans plus the higher of Wells Fargo’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum, or the one month LIBOR Rate plus 1.0% per annum; (b) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Loans; or (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate (“LIBOR Index Rate”) plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Market Index Loans. The Applicable Margin Percentage is determined by a pricing grid in the Credit Agreement and ranges from 1.0% to 1.875% based upon the ratio of Debt to Total Capitalization. The Applicable Margin Percentage was 1.0% and 1.125% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and ranged from 1.0% to 1.125% during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revolving loans under the sweep program bear interest at the LIBOR Index Rate.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

There were $34.7 million and $10.0 million of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, under the revolving credit facility. There were $57.8 million and $52.4 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 3. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 38.6% and 37.6%, respectively, as compared to 39.5% for both comparable periods of 2012. On January 2, 2013, Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which reinstated alternative fuel tax credits that previously expired on December 31, 2011 and extended those credits until December 31, 2013. As a result, our first quarter of 2013 tax rate included the favorable impact of a discrete tax adjustment of $1.6 million for the full amount of credits related to our use of alternative fuel in 2012. Additionally, our year-to-date effective tax rate in 2013 benefited from the discrete item above and the extension of those credits until December 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of state taxes, and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-deductible items.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business that have not been fully adjudicated. Many of these are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Our management does not believe that these actions, when finally concluded and determined, will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 5. Subsequent Events

Management evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the issuance date of these financial statements, and concluded that no subsequent events or transactions have occurred that require recognition or disclosure in our financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading, less-than-truckload (“LTL”), union-free motor carrier providing regional, inter-regional and national LTL service and other value-added services from a single integrated organization. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a broad range of value-added services including worldwide freight forwarding, ground and air expedited transportation, container delivery, truckload brokerage, supply chain consulting, warehousing and consumer household pickup and delivery. More than 90% of our revenue has historically been derived from transporting LTL shipments for our customers, whose demand for our services is generally tied to industrial production and the overall health of the U.S. domestic economy.

In analyzing the components of our revenue, we monitor changes and trends in the following key metrics:

•

Revenue Per Hundredweight - This measurement reflects the application of our pricing policies to the services we provide, which are influenced by competitive market conditions and our growth objectives. Generally, freight is rated by a class system, which is established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. Light, bulky freight typically has a higher class and is priced at higher revenue per hundredweight than dense, heavy freight. Fuel surcharges, accessorial charges, revenue adjustments and revenue for undelivered freight are included in this measurement. Revenue for undelivered freight is deferred for financial statement purposes in accordance with our revenue recognition policy; however, we believe including it in our revenue per hundredweight metrics results in a better indicator of changes in our yields by matching total billed revenue with the corresponding weight of those shipments.

Revenue per hundredweight is a commonly-used indicator of pricing trends, but this metric can be influenced by many other factors, such as changes in fuel surcharges, weight per shipment, length of haul and the mix of our freight. As a result, changes in revenue per hundredweight do not necessarily indicate actual changes in underlying base rates.

•

Weight Per Shipment - Fluctuations in weight per shipment can indicate changes in the class, or mix, of freight we receive from our customers, as well as changes in the number of units included in a shipment. Generally, increases in weight per shipment indicate higher demand for our customers' products and overall increased economic activity. Changes in weight per shipment generally have an inverse effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in weight per shipment will typically cause a decrease in revenue per hundredweight.

•

Average Length of Haul - We consider lengths of haul less than 500 miles to be regional traffic, lengths of haul between 500 miles and 1,000 miles to be inter-regional traffic, and lengths of haul in excess of 1,000 miles to be national traffic. By analyzing this metric, we can determine the success and growth potential of our service products in these markets. Changes in length of haul generally have a direct effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in length of haul will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

Our primary revenue focus is to increase “density,” which is shipment and tonnage growth within our existing infrastructure. This allows us to maximize our asset utilization and labor productivity. We measure density over many different functional areas of our operations including revenue per service center, linehaul load factor, pickup and delivery (“P&D”) stops per hour, P&D shipments per hour, platform pounds handled per hour and platform shipments per hour. In addition to our focus on density, it is critical for us to obtain an appropriate yield on the shipments we handle. We manage our yields by focusing on individual account profitability. We believe yield management and improvements in density are key components in our ability to produce profitable growth.

Our primary cost elements are direct wages and benefits associated with the movement of freight; fuel and equipment repair expenses; and depreciation of our equipment fleet and service center facilities. We gauge our overall success in managing these costs by monitoring our operating ratio, a measure of profitability calculated by dividing total operating expenses by revenue, which also allows industry-wide comparisons with our competition.

Table of Contents

We continually upgrade our technological capabilities to improve our customer service and lower our operating costs. Our technology provides our customers with visibility of their shipments throughout our network, increases the productivity of our workforce and provides key metrics from which we can monitor our processes.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, expenses and other items as a percentage of revenue from operations:

Our second quarter of 2013 results reflect new records for us with respect to revenue, net income and operating ratio. Our quarterly results were once again driven by revenue growth consisting of increased tonnage and improved pricing for our services. We believe the high quality of our services provided at a fair and equitable price has created an unmatched value proposition in our industry, which has supported our ability to win market share while also improving our yield. These factors, combined with cost efficiencies generated through increased network density and other operational initiatives, contributed to the improvement in our operating ratio and net income. We achieved a 140 basis point year-over-year improvement in our operating ratio to 83.5% for the second quarter of 2013 and a 150 basis point improvement to 85.5% for the first half of 2013 as compared to the same period last year. Net income increased $10.4 million, or 21.8%, and $19.9 million, or 25.2% over the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively.

Revenue

Revenue increased $42.9 million, or 7.8% over the second quarter of 2012 and $78.4 million, or 7.5% over the first half of 2012. Our revenue growth for the second quarter and first half of 2013 was driven by increases in tonnage and pricing. Tonnage increased 5.6% and 4.6% for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, primarily due to increases in shipments for both periods presented. We believe our tonnage growth for both of the comparable periods was primarily due to increased market share, as the U.S. economy remained sluggish.

Revenue per hundredweight for the second quarter of 2013 was $15.76, a 2.3% increase over the prior-year quarter. For the first half of 2013, revenue per hundredweight increased 2.5% to $15.71. These increases reflect a commitment to a disciplined yield management process as well as an improving pricing environment for the LTL industry. We believe our focus on obtaining an appropriate yield for our services is necessary to offset rising operating costs and also allows us to invest in opportunities that can improve our service and provide capacity for future growth. Revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 2.9% over each of the comparable second quarter and six-month periods of 2012.

Our fuel surcharges are designed to offset fluctuations in the cost of petroleum-based products and are one of the many components included in the overall negotiated price we charge for our services. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased to 16.0% and 16.3% of our revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, from 16.4% and 16.5% for the comparable periods of 2012. Most of our tariffs and contracts provide for a fuel surcharge that is generally indexed to the U. S. Department of Energy's published diesel fuel prices that reset each week. Therefore, fluctuations in fuel surcharges between the periods are primarily the result of changes in the underlying price of diesel fuel.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

Salaries, wages and benefits for the second quarter of 2013 increased $19.5 million, or 7.2% from the prior-year comparable quarter due to a $13.7 million increase in the costs attributable to salaries and wages and a $5.8 million increase in benefit costs. Salaries, wages and benefits for the first half of 2013 increased $32.3 million, or 6.1% from the first half of 2012, due to a $25.4 million increase in the costs attributable to salaries and wages and a $6.9 million increase in benefit costs. The increases in our costs attributable to salaries and wages, excluding benefits, were primarily due to 6.5% and 7.0% increases in the number of our average full-time employees as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, as well as the impact of wage increases provided to our employees in September 2012. We increased our headcount due to our increased volume of shipments as well as to ensure sufficient capacity for additional revenue growth. As a result, our direct labor costs for drivers, platform employees and fleet technicians increased $11.7 million and $21.2 million in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2012. These costs improved as a percent of revenue, however, due primarily to the increased network density and our continued focus on efficiency. We continued to maintain a highly efficient network and experienced gains in our P&D and platform operations during the second quarter. P&D shipments per hour and P&D stops per hour for the second quarter of 2013 increased 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, from the comparable prior-year period and remained consistent between the comparable year-to-date periods. Platform pounds per hour for the second quarter and six month periods also increased 2.7% and 2.8%, respectively, over the comparable prior-year periods of 2012. Our linehaul laden load average decreased 1.1% and 0.2% as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, which we attribute to our commitment to provide on-time service that can occasionally lead to increased costs.

The increases in our benefit costs were primarily due to increases in the number of full-time employees eligible

for our benefits, increased costs related to our employees' group health and paid time off benefits as well as increased costs for certain retirement benefit plans directly linked to the improvement in our net income and share price.

Operating supplies and expenses increased $1.4 million and $2.9 million in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, over the prior-year comparable periods. Diesel fuel, excluding fuel taxes, represents the largest component of operating supplies and expenses, and its cost can vary based on both consumption and average price per gallon. Our intercity miles increased 5.1% and 4.2% in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods, while our diesel fuel consumption increased only 3.1% and 3.0% during those same periods, respectively. Our consumption trends have improved due to a focus on improving our average miles per gallon, which has benefited from certain operational initiatives and the increased use of new fuel-efficient equipment. The increase in our consumption was partially offset by decreases in our average price per gallon of 1.9% and 1.2% as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively.

General supplies and expenses increased $1.7 million and $5.3 million, as compared to the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively. These increases were primarily due to an overall increase in our advertising costs as well as the general increase in shipments, as other costs remained relatively consistent as a percent of revenue.

Depreciation and amortization increased to 5.2% and 5.3% of revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, from 4.8% and 5.0% for the comparable periods of 2012. These increases were primarily due to additional depreciation recorded on the tractors and trailers purchased within the past twelve months as part of our capital expenditure plans. The unit costs for our new tractors were significantly higher than the units they replaced, due primarily to increasingly stringent emission standards that have increased manufacturers' costs. Our 2013 capital expenditure plan includes $150 million for tractors and trailers, which we expect will increase depreciation costs in future periods. While our depreciation expense has increased as a result of the significant investments made in real estate, tractors, trailers and technology, we believe these investments have been, and will continue to be, necessary to support our long-term growth initiatives.

Purchased transportation increased $2.4 million, or 9.9% and $3.9 million, or 8.3% from the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively. Our purchased transportation services are primarily related to our container drayage, truckload brokerage and freight forwarding operations, as these are typically non-asset services. We also utilize purchased transportation for our LTL operations when there are capacity restraints or imbalances in freight flow within our service center network. The increases in our purchased transportation costs for the second quarter and year-to-date periods are primarily the result of growth in each of our container drayage, truckload brokerage and freight forwarding operations.

Table of Contents

Miscellaneous expenses, net, includes gains or losses on the sale of operating assets, among other things. The decrease in miscellaneous expenses, net, for the second quarter and first half of 2013 over the prior year comparable periods is primarily due to the sale of real estate during the second quarter of 2013 that resulted in net gains of $2.2 million.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2013 was 38.6% and 37.6%, respectively, as compared to 39.5% for the second quarter and first half of 2012. On January 2, 2013, Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which reinstated alternative fuel tax credits that previously expired on December 31, 2011 and extended those credits until December 31, 2013. As a result, our tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 included the favorable impact of a discrete tax adjustment of $1.6 million for the full amount of credits related to our use of alternative fuel in 2012. Additionally, our year-to-date effective tax rate in 2013 benefited from the discrete item above and the extension of those credits until December 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of state taxes, and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-deductible items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash flows is presented below:



	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(In thousands)	2013			2012
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	12,857		$	75,850
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	153,864			144,422
Investing activities	(147,741		)	(206,921		)
Financing activities	(11,610		)	(2,336		)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(5,487		)	(64,835		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	7,370		$	11,015

The change in our cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to the $19.9 million increase in our net income from the first six months of 2012, which was primarily the result of the 7.8% increase in revenue and the 150 basis point improvement in our operating ratio. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $8.3 million as compared to the first six months of 2012 due to the ongoing execution of our capital expenditure plans. These changes are more fully described in the "Results of Operations" section above. These increases were partially offset by a $20.0 million decrease resulting from fluctuations in certain working capital accounts over the first six months of 2012.

The change in our cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to the execution of our capital expenditure plans. Our capital expenditures decreased in the first six months of 2013 over the comparable prior-year period primarily due to an overall reduction in our 2013 capital expenditure plan as well as the timing of these expenditures in the periods compared.

The change in our cash flows used in financing activities consisted primarily of fluctuations in our senior unsecured revolving line of credit.

We have three primary sources of available liquidity: cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit agreement, which is described below. We believe we also have sufficient access to debt and equity markets to provide other sources of liquidity, if needed.

Capital Expenditures

The table below sets forth our year-to-date capital expenditures for property and equipment, including capital assets obtained through capital leases, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:



	June 30,			December 31,
(In thousands)	2013			2012			2011			2010
Land and structures	$	59,586		$	143,701		$	73,463		$	49,867
Tractors	37,102			113,257			69,837			35,777
Trailers	39,013			83,405			62,326			5,020
Technology	8,417			13,950			24,767			11,866
Other	12,236			19,974			28,945			5,000
Proceeds from sales	(8,613		)	(12,018		)	(5,436		)	(2,604		)
Total	$	147,741		$	362,269		$	253,902		$	104,926

Our capital expenditure requirements are generally based upon the projected increase in the number and size of our service center facilities to support our plan for long-term growth, our planned tractor and trailer replacement cycle and forecasted tonnage growth. These requirements can vary from year to year depending upon our needs for and the availability of property and equipment.

We estimate capital expenditures, net of anticipated proceeds from dispositions, will be approximately $305 million for the year ending December 31, 2013. Of our capital expenditures, approximately $130 million is allocated for the purchase of service center facilities, construction of new service center facilities or expansion of existing service center facilities, subject to the availability of suitable real estate and the timing of construction projects; approximately $150 million is allocated for the purchase of tractors, trailers and other equipment; and approximately $25 million is allocated for investments in technology and other assets. We expect to fund these capital expenditures primarily with cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents and the use of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed. We believe our current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our expected capital expenditures.

Financing Agreements

We have three outstanding unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $191.4 million and $227.1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These notes call for periodic principal payments with maturities that range from 2015 to 2021, of which $35.7 million is due in the next twelve months. Interest rates on these notes are fixed and range from 4.00% to 5.85%. The effective average interest rate on our outstanding senior note agreements was 4.99% and 5.07% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Table of Contents

The amounts outstanding and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement are presented below:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Facility limit	$	200,000		$	200,000
Line of credit borrowings	(34,680		)	(10,000		)
Outstanding letters of credit	(57,758		)	(52,423		)
Available borrowing capacity	$	107,562		$	137,577

With the exception of borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement, interest rates are fixed on all of our debt instruments. Therefore, short-term exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is limited to our line of credit facility. We do not currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

Our Credit Agreement limits the amount of dividends that could be paid to shareholders during a fiscal year to the greater of (i) $20.0 million; (ii) the amount of dividends paid in the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) an amount equal to 25% of net income from the immediately preceding fiscal year. We did not declare or pay a dividend on our common stock in the first six months of 2013, and we have no current plans to declare or pay a dividend during the remainder of 2013.

A significant decrease in demand for our services could limit our ability to generate cash flow and affect profitability. Most of our debt agreements have covenants that require stated levels of financial performance, which if not achieved could cause acceleration of the payment schedules. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants. We do not anticipate a significant decline in business levels or financial performance that would cause us to violate any such covenants in the future, and we believe the combination of our existing Credit Agreement along with our additional borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet foreseeable seasonal and long-term capital needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our condensed financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

Seasonality

Our tonnage levels and revenue mix are subject to seasonal trends common in the motor carrier industry, although other factors, such as changes in the economy, could cause variation in these trends. Operating margins in the first quarter are normally lower due to reduced shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornados and floods, can also adversely impact our performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. Freight volumes typically build to a peak in the third or early fourth quarter, which generally results in improved operating margins for those periods. We believe seasonal trends will continue to impact our business.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern, among other things: the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the environment; the presence of hazardous materials at our properties or in our vehicles; fuel storage tanks; the transportation of certain materials; and the discharge or retention of storm water. Under certain environmental laws, we could also be held responsible for any costs relating to contamination at our past or present facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites, as well as costs associated with clean-up for accidents involving our vehicles. We do not believe that the cost of future compliance with current environmental laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 or fiscal year 2014. However, future changes to laws or regulations may adversely affect our operations and could result in unforeseen costs to our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.

We are exposed to interest rate risk directly related to loans, if any, under our Credit Agreement, which have variable interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate on this agreement would have no material effect on our operating results. We have established policies and procedures to manage exposure to market risks and use major institutions that we believe are creditworthy to minimize credit risk.

We are exposed to market risk for equity investments relating to Company-owned life insurance contracts on certain employees. Variable life insurance contracts expose us to fluctuations in equity markets; however, we utilize a third-party to manage these assets and minimize that exposure.

We are also exposed to commodity price risk related to petroleum-based products, including diesel fuel, and manage our exposure to this risk primarily through the application of fuel surcharges.

For further discussion related to these risks, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 2 of this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.


b)	Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
