Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation, Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (the Company) is headquartered in Cudahy, Wisconsin and
has three operating segments, which are also reportable segments: less-than-truckload (LTL),
truckload brokerage (TL) and transportation management solutions (TMS). Within the LTL
business, the Company operates 17 service centers throughout the United States, complemented by
relationships with over 200 delivery agents. Within the TL business, the Company operates nine
dispatch offices and is augmented by 56 independent agents. The TMS business provides a one-stop
transportation and logistics solution. The Company, from pickup to delivery, leverages
relationships with a diverse group of third-party carriers to provide scalable capacity and
reliable, customized service to customers in North America. The Company operates primarily in the
United States.
On February 29, 2008, Thayer | Hidden Creek Partners II, L.P. (THCP II), through an indirect
majority-owned subsidiary, GTS Acquisition Sub, Inc. (GTS), acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Group Transportation Services, Inc. and all of the outstanding membership units of
GTS Direct, LLC (the Transaction). THCP II is an affiliate of Thayer Equity Investors V, L.P.,
the controlling shareholder of the Company. GTS was formed on February 12, 2008 and there were no
substantive operations from date of inception until the Transaction on February 29, 2008. On May
18, 2010, GTS merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the GTS Merger).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim
financial information. The Company believes such statements include all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of its financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim
financial statements, the accompanying financial statements do not include all disclosures required
by GAAP for annual financial statements. While the Company believes the disclosures presented are
adequate, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2009
contained in the Companys Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, with the SEC on May 13, 2010. Operating results for the periods presented in this
report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year
ending December 31, 2010, or any other interim period.
Principles of Consolidation
Transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control do
not constitute business combinations. Because the Company and GTS had the same control group
immediately before and after the GTS Merger, the GTS Merger has been accounted for as a combination
of entities under common control on a historical cost basis in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if
the GTS Merger occurred on February 29, 2008, the date of common control. Accordingly, the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of GTS
for all periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

2. Restricted Cash
In December 2008, the Company deposited $5.0 million into a restricted cash account pursuant to the
terms of the Keep Well Agreement entered into in conjunction with the issuance of its Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock. The agreement terminates when all funds are used or all senior debt
obligations have been paid in full. On May 18, 2010, the Company retired all outstanding senior
debt obligations and the Keep Well Agreement was terminated and the restricted cash balance of
$4.1 million was released. At December 31, 2009, restricted cash of $4.1 million is included in
other noncurrent assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
3. Acquisitions
On September 15, 2009, GTS acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Mesca Freight
Services, LLC (Mesca) for purposes of expanding its current market presence and service offerings
in the TMS segment. Mesca operates as a non-asset based, third-party logistics provider from its
headquarters in Maine. Total consideration was $9.1 million, including $1.8 million of cash
acquired. A working capital adjustment in the amount of $0.1 million was paid by GTS in 2010. The
acquisition price and related financing fees of approximately $0.1 million were financed with
proceeds from the sale of common stock by GTS of $4.2 million and borrowings under a credit
facility of $4.4 million. GTS incurred $0.6 million of transaction expenses related to this
acquisition.
In addition to cash paid at closing, the Mesca purchase agreement calls for contingent
consideration in the form of an earnout. The former owners of Mesca are entitled to receive a
payment equal to the amount by which Mescas earnings before income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, as defined in the purchase agreement, exceeds $1.6 million for the years ending
December 31, 2010 and 2011. Approximately $2.4 million has been included in goodwill and is
included in the TMS segment.
On December 7, 2009, GTS acquired all of the outstanding stock of Great Northern Transportation
Services, Inc. (GNTS) for purposes of expanding its current market presence and service offerings
in the TMS segment. GNTS is an agent of Mesca and operates from New Hampshire. Total consideration
was $1.7 million, including $0.2 million of cash acquired. The acquisition price was financed with
proceeds from the sale of common stock by GTS of $0.9 million and borrowings under a credit
facility of $0.9 million. GTS incurred $0.2 million of transaction expenses related to this
acquisition.
In addition to cash paid at closing, the GNTS purchase agreement calls for contingent consideration
in the form of an earnout. The former owner of GNTS is entitled to receive a payment equal to the
amount by which GNTS earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in
the purchase agreement exceeds $0.6 million for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011.
Approximately $0.2 million has been included in goodwill and is included in the TMS segment.
In connection with the acquisitions of Mesca and GNTS, the carrying amount of the contingent
consideration was revalued to fair value as of September 30, 2010, resulting in recording
$0.1 million of expense, which is included in interest on long-term debt in the accompanying
condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
On December 11, 2009, the Company acquired certain assets of Bullet Freight Systems, Inc.
(Bullet) for purposes of expanding its market presence and service offerings in the LTL segment.
Bullet operates as a common and contract motor carrier pursuant to U.S. Department of
Transportation authority and is engaged primarily in transportation of less-than-truckload
shipments. Bullet has operations based out of four service centers and operates throughout the
United States. Total consideration was $27.2 million. The acquisition price and related financing
fees of approximately $1.1 million were financed with borrowings under credit facilities of
$8.8 million and the issuance of $19.5 million face value of junior subordinated notes, including
$3.0 million issued to the selling shareholders. In conjunction with the issuance of the junior
subordinated notes, the Company issued warrants with a fair value of $3.0 million. The Company
incurred $0.5 million of transaction expenses related to this acquisition.

Table of Contents
On February 12, 2010, GTS acquired all the outstanding stock of Alpha Freight Systems, Inc.
(Alpha) for purposes of expanding its current market presence and service offerings in the TMS
segment. Total consideration was $2.0 million, including $0.1 million of cash acquired. The
acquisition price was financed with proceeds from the sale of common stock by GTS of $1.0 million
and borrowings under a credit facility of $1.2 million. GTS incurred $0.2 million of transaction
expenses related to this acquisition. The Company anticipates that the goodwill associated with the
first quarter 2010 acquisition of Alpha will be deductible for tax purposes.
The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price paid to the fair value of the
net assets (in thousands):
Mesca | GNTS | Bullet | Alpha | |||||||||||||

$ | 1,895 | $ | 706 | $ | 3,940 | $ | 519 | ||||||||

The Mesca, GNTS, Bullet and Alpha goodwill is a result of acquiring and retaining their existing
workforces and expected synergies from integrating their operations into the Company.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of all acquisitions over the estimated fair
value of the net assets acquired.

5. Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities
requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of
the following three categories:
| Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by
market data. |
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entitys own assumptions or external
inputs from inactive markets. |
A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents information as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, about the
Companys financial liabilities, the contingent purchase price related to acquisitions that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis, according to the valuation techniques the Company used
to determine their fair values (in thousands):

In measuring the fair value of the contingent payment liability, the Company used an income
approach that considers the expected future earnings of the acquired businesses and the resulting
contingent payments, discounted at a risk-adjusted rate.
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of the Companys beginning and ending Level 3 financial
liability balance for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2010 (in

In connection with the Companys initial public offering (IPO), the Company entered into a new
credit agreement on May 18, 2010 with U.S. Bank National Association. The credit agreement is
five-year, $55 million revolving credit facility collateralized by all assets of the Company and is
subject to a borrowing base equal to 85% of the Companys eligible receivables. The new credit
agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and
a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. Borrowings under the credit agreement will bear interest at
either (a) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in
the range of 2.5% to 3.0%, or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an
applicable margin in the range of 1.5% to 2.0%. The revolving credit facility also provides for the
issuance of up to $8.0 million in letters of credit. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had
outstanding letters of credit totaling $5.3 million. Total availability under the revolving credit
facility was $21.9 million as of September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, the interest rate on
the revolving credit facility was 3.0%.
The Company used the IPO proceeds to prepay $40.4 million of outstanding debt under the RRTS credit
facility, $42.8 million to retire senior subordinated notes and accrued interest, and $31.8 million
to retire the junior subordinated notes and accrued interest, including prepayment penalties of
$10.6 million. The remaining amount of debt under the old RRTS and GTS credit agreements was paid
with the proceeds from the new credit agreement on May 18, 2010.
7. Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing
net income by the weighted average stock outstanding plus stock equivalents that would arise from
the assumed exercise of stock options and conversion of warrants using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing
net income by the weighted average stock outstanding plus stock equivalents that would arise from
the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Conversion of warrants was
not assumed as they were deemed anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively, diluted earnings per share did not assume this same exercise of stock options
or conversion of warrants as they were deemed anti-dilutive due to the net loss available to common
stockholders. There is no difference, for any of the periods presented, in the amount of net income
(loss) available to common stockholders used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share.

Table of Contents
On May 7, 2010, the Company effected a 149.314-for-one stock split of all outstanding shares of its
Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Series B preferred stock. The condensed
consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively restated to reflect this stock split.
The following table reconciles basic weighted average stock outstanding to diluted weighted average
stock outstanding (in thousands):

The Company had additional stock options and warrants outstanding representing 3.1 million and
3.3 million shares as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These shares were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were not assumed to be exercised
under the treasury stock method or were anti-dilutive.
8. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 40.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared
with 37.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30,
2010, the effective income tax rate was 60.2% compared with 52.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company used an
estimated annual effective tax rate, which was based on expected annual income, statutory tax
rates, and its best estimate of non-deductible and non-taxable items of income and expense. Income
tax expense varies from the amount computed by applying the federal corporate income tax rate of
35.0% to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax
effect, Canadian income taxes, and adjustments for permanent differences.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Redeemable Common Stock
Certain shares of the Companys outstanding Class A common stock were issued in 2006 and classified
as mezzanine equity. These shares, held by current and former employees of the Company, were
subject to redemption at fair value by the Company in the event of death or disability of the
holder, as defined, during a seven-year period from the date of original issuance. On June 30,
2010, all of these former and current employees waived their right to have these shares repurchased
by the Company. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect these shares
as common stock as of September 30, 2010.
Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
In March 2007, the Company issued and had outstanding 5,000 shares of non-voting Series A Preferred
Stock (Series A Preferred Stock), which are mandatorily redeemable by the Company at $1,000 per
share, in cash, on November 30, 2012. The Series A Preferred Stock receives cash dividends annually
on April 30 at an annual rate equal to $40 per share, and if such dividends are not paid when due,
such annual dividend rate shall increase to $60 per share and continue to accrue without interest
until such delinquent payments are made. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $92,000 and
$142,000 is recorded as a current liability, respectively. The holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock are restricted from transferring such shares and the Company has a first refusal right and
may elect to repurchase the shares prior to the mandatory November 30, 2012 redemption. Upon
liquidation and certain transactions treated as liquidations, as defined in the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation, the Series A Preferred Stock has liquidation preferences over the
Companys common stock. The number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
the $1,000 per share repurchase price, and the annual cash dividends are all subject to equitable
adjustment whenever there is a stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization,
reclassification or other similar event. As long as there is Series A Preferred Stock outstanding,
no dividends may be declared or paid on common stock of the Company.
11
Table of Contents
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
In December 2008, the Company issued and had outstanding 1,791,768 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock), which were convertible, at the option of the holder,
at $6.70 per share into Class A common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to receive
a dividend payable in cash when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company at the
rate of 15% per annum on each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, compounding quarterly.
To the extent not paid, dividends accumulate. The Series B Preferred Stock, including accumulated
dividends, was converted into 2,082,766 shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing of
the IPO.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a defendant in several property and other
claims. In the aggregate, the Company does not believe any of these claims will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage
for claims in excess of $0.5 million per occurrence and cargo coverage for claims in excess of
$0.1 million per occurrence. Management believes it has adequate insurance to cover losses in
excess of the deductible amount. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had reserves for estimated
uninsured losses of $2.7 million.
10. Related Party Transactions
As part of the 2007 acquisition of Big Rock Transportation, Inc., Midwest Carriers, Inc., Sargent
Trucking, Inc., B&J Transportation, Inc., and Smith Truck Brokers, Inc. (collectively, Sargent),
the Company was required to pay an earnout to the former Sargent owners and now Series A Preferred
Stock holders. At both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $0.8 million related to the
amounts earned in 2006 and 2007 was classified as a long-term liability. The Companys obligation
to make further contingent payments to the former Sargent owners terminated as of December 31,
2009.
As part of the Bullet acquisition, the Company issued eight-year warrants exercisable for an
aggregate 268,765 shares of Class A common stock payable to the former Bullet owners. These
warrants were exercised in July of 2010. Additionally, certain existing stockholders and their
affiliates also received eight-year warrants exercisable for an aggregate 1,388,620 shares of Class
A common stock payable to existing stockholders and their affiliates.
The Company entered into a consulting and non-compete agreement in 2006 with a former employee. The
consulting fee is $0.1 million per year through 2016.
11. Segment Reporting
The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief
operating decision maker, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, to allocate resources and assess
performance. Based on this information, the Company has determined that it has three operating
segments, which are also reportable segments: LTL, TL and TMS.
These reportable segments are strategic business units through which the Company offers different
services. The Company evaluates the performance of the segments primarily based on their respective
revenues and operating income. Accordingly, interest expense and other non-operating items are not
reported in segment results. In addition, the Company has disclosed a corporate segment, which is
not an operating segment and includes IPO related expenses, acquisition transaction expenses,
corporate salaries and stock-based compensation expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related
notes and other financial information included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This
discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Among the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed in the section Item
1A Risk Factors of Part II below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion and
analysis should also be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to our results for the year ended December
31, 2009, set forth in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13,
2010.
Company Overview
We are a leading non-asset based transportation and logistics service provider offering a
full suite of solutions, including customized and expedited less-than-truckload (LTL), truckload
(TL) brokerage, transportation management solutions (TMS), intermodal brokerage (transporting a
shipment by more than one mode, primary via rail and truck), and domestic and international air.
We utilize a proprietary web-enabled technology system and a broad third-party network of
transportation providers, comprised of independent contractors (ICs) and purchased power, to serve
a diverse customer base in terms of end market focus and annual freight expenditures. Although we
service large national accounts, we primarily focus on small to mid-size shippers, which we
believe represent an expansive and underserved market. Our business model is highly scalable and
flexible, featuring a variable cost structure that requires minimal investment in transportation
equipment and facilities, thereby enhancing free cash flow generation and returns on our invested
capital and assets.
We determine our operating segments based on the information utilized by our chief operating
decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, to allocate resources and assess performance. Based
on this information, we have determined that we operate three operating segments, which are also
reportable segments: LTL, TL, and TMS.
Our LTL business involves the pickup, consolidation, linehaul, deconsolidation, and delivery
of LTL shipments throughout the United States and into Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Canada. With a
network of 17 leased service centers and over 200 third-party delivery agents, we employ a
point-to-point LTL model that we believe serves as a competitive advantage over the traditional
hub and spoke LTL model in terms of faster transit times, lower incidence of damage, and reduced
fuel consumption.
Within our TL brokerage business, we arrange the pickup and delivery of TL freight through
our network of nine company dispatch offices and 56 independent brokerage agents primarily located
throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. We offer temperature-controlled, dry van, and
flatbed services and specialize in the transport of refrigerated foods, poultry, and beverages. We
believe this specialization provides consistent shipping volume year-over-year.
Within our TMS business we offer a one-stop transportation and logistics solution,
including access to the most cost-effective and time-sensitive modes of transportation within our
broad network. Specifically, our TMS offering includes pricing, contract management,
transportation mode and carrier selection, freight tracking, freight bill payment and audit, cost
reporting and analysis, and dispatch. Our customized TMS offering is designed to allow our
customers to reduce operating costs, redirect resources to core competencies, improve supply chain
efficiency, and enhance customer service.
14
Table of Contents
Our success principally depends on our ability to generate revenues through our network of
sales personnel and independent brokerage agents and to deliver freight in all modes safely, on
time, and cost-effectively through a suite of solutions tailored to the needs of each client.
Customer shipping demand, over-the-road freight tonnage levels, and equipment capacity, which are
subject to overall economic conditions, ultimately drive increases or decreases in our revenues.
Our ability to operate profitably and generate cash is also impacted by the average over-the-road
length of haul, pricing dynamics, customer mix, and our ability to manage costs effectively.
Within our LTL business, we typically generate revenues by charging our customers a rate based on
shipment weight, distance hauled, and commodity type. This amount is typically comprised of a base
rate, a fuel surcharge, and any applicable service fees. Within our TL brokerage business, we
typically charge a flat rate negotiated on each load based upon the industry factors noted above
and in place at the time of the freight movement. Within our TMS business, we typically charge a
variable rate on each shipment in addition to transaction or service fees appropriate for the
solution we have developed for a specific customers needs.
We incur costs that are directly related to the transportation of freight, including
purchased transportation costs and commissions paid to our brokerage agents. We also incur
indirect costs associated with the transportation of freight that include other operating costs,
such as insurance and claims. In addition, we incur personnel-related costs and other operating
expenses, collectively discussed herein as other operating expenses, essential to administering
our operations. We continually monitor all components of our cost structure and establish annual
budgets, which are generally used to benchmark costs incurred on a monthly basis.
Purchased transportation costs within our LTL business represent amounts we pay to ICs or
purchased power providers and are generally contractually agreed-upon rates. Purchased
transportation costs within our TL brokerage business are typically based on negotiated rates for
each load hauled. We pay commissions to each brokerage agent based on a percentage of margin
generated. Within our TMS business, purchased transportation costs include payments made to our
purchased power providers, which are generally contractually agreed-upon rates. Purchased
transportation costs are the largest component of our cost structure and are generally higher as a
percentage of revenues within our TL brokerage business than within our LTL and TMS businesses.
Our purchased transportation costs typically increase or decrease in proportion to revenues.
Our ability to maintain or grow existing tonnage levels is impacted by overall economic
conditions, shipping demand, and over-the-road freight capacity in North America, as well as by
our ability to offer a
competitive solution in terms of pricing, safety, and on-time delivery. We have experienced
significant fluctuations in year-over-year tonnage levels in recent years.
The industry pricing environment also impacts our operating performance. Our LTL pricing is
typically measured by billed revenue per hundredweight, often referred to as yield, and is
dictated primarily by factors such as average shipment size, shipment frequency and consistency,
average length of haul, freight density, and customer and geographic mix. Pricing within our TL
brokerage business generally has fewer influential factors than pricing within our LTL business,
but is also typically driven by shipment frequency and consistency, average length of haul, and
customer and geographic mix. Since we offer both LTL and TL shipping as part of our TMS offering,
pricing within our TMS segment is impacted by similar factors. The pricing environment for all of
our operations generally becomes more competitive during periods of lower industry tonnage levels
and increased capacity within the over-the-road freight sector.
The transportation industry is dependent upon the availability of adequate fuel supplies. Our
LTL business typically charges a fuel surcharge based on changes in diesel fuel prices compared to
a national index. Although revenues from fuel surcharges generally more than offset increases in
fuel costs, other operating costs have been, and may continue to be, impacted by fluctuating fuel
prices. The total impact of higher energy prices on other nonfuel-related expenses is difficult to
ascertain. We cannot predict future fuel price fluctuations, the impact of higher energy prices on
other cost elements, recoverability of higher fuel costs through fuel surcharges, and the effect
of fuel surcharges on our overall rate structure or the total price that we will receive from our
customers. Depending on the changes in the fuel rates and the impact on costs in other fuel- and
energy-related areas, operating margins could be impacted. Whether fuel prices fluctuate or remain
constant, our operating income may be adversely affected if competitive pressures limit our
ability to recover fuel surcharges. The operating income of our TL brokerage and TMS businesses is
not impacted directly by changes in fuel rates as we are able to pass through fuel costs to our
customers.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased by $39.0 million, or 31.3%, to $163.7 million during the third
quarter of 2010 from $124.7 million during the third quarter of 2009.
LTL revenues increased by $23.5 million, or 28.1%, to $107.2 million during the third quarter
of 2010 from $83.7 million during the third quarter of 2009. This reflects quarter-over-quarter LTL
tonnage growth of 19.2%, driven by a 19.9% increase in the number of LTL shipments, slightly offset
by a 0.6% decline in weight per shipment. Our LTL tonnage increase was primarily driven by new
customer growth, but a portion resulted from the acquisition of certain assets of Bullet in
December 2009. In addition to growth in tonnage and shipments, our revenue per hundredweight
including fuel surcharges increased during the quarter by 7.3%. This reflects increased fuel
prices quarter-over-quarter and an increase in revenue per hundredweight excluding fuel of 5.2%,
which resulted from the stabilization in the LTL pricing environment, our yield improvement
initiatives and a change in freight mix. Sequentially from second quarter of 2010, yield without
fuel surcharges improved 2.8% during the third quarter of 2010.
TL brokerage revenues increased by $6.1 million, or 18.6%, to $39.1 million during the third
quarter of 2010 from $33.0 million during the third quarter of 2009, primarily due to a slight
increase in the number of loads, quarter-over-quarter increase of approximately 13% in revenue per
load, and the expansion of our TL brokerage agent network.
TMS revenues increased by $9.4 million, or 108.9%, to $18.0 million during the third quarter
of 2010 from $8.6 million during the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of the addition
of new customers and the acquisition of two TMS businesses during the second half of 2009 and one
business during the first quarter of 2010, which are not reflected prior to their respective
acquisition dates.
Purchased Transportation Costs
Purchased transportation costs increased by $30.5 million, or 31.1%, to $128.6 million during
the third quarter of 2010 from $98.2 million during the third quarter of 2009.
LTL purchased transportation costs increased by $18.6 million, or 29.6%, to $81.6 million
during the third quarter of 2010 from $63.0 million during the third quarter of 2009, and increased
as a percentage of LTL revenues to 76.2% from 75.2%. This increase was primarily the result of
tighter capacity in the truckload market, which caused an increase in rates paid to our third-party
linehaul carriers. Excluding fuel surcharges our average linehaul cost per mile increased to $1.26
during the third quarter of 2010 from $1.16 experienced during the third quarter of 2009 through
the first quarter of 2010. This increase from $1.16 to $1.26 negatively impacted our purchased
transportation costs as a percent of revenues by approximately 2.5% of net revenue margin. These
linehaul cost increases were partially offset by our yield improvement initiatives.
TL purchased transportation costs increased by $5.5 million, or 19.1%, to $34.6 million during
the third quarter of 2010 from $29.1 million during the third quarter of 2009, and increased
slightly as a percentage of TL revenues to 88.5% from 88.1%, primarily due to rising truckload
rates not yet passed on to contract customers, expansion of our truckload brokerage agent network,
and payment of related commissions to new agents.
TMS purchased transportation costs increased by $6.3 million, or 93.4%, to $13.0 million
during the third quarter of 2010 from $6.7 million during the third quarter of 2009, and decreased
as a percentage of TMS revenues to 72.4% from 78.2%. This primarily resulted from recent
acquisitions, which expanded the TMS offering to include a broader range of services.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses, which reflect the sum of the personnel and related benefits, other
operating expenses, acquisition transaction expenses, and IPO related expenses line items shown in
our condensed consolidated statements of operations, increased by $4.8 million, or 22.5%, to
$26.4 million during the third quarter of 2010 from $21.5 million during the third quarter of 2009.

Table of Contents
Within our LTL business, other operating expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 17.1%, to
$20.0 million during the third quarter of 2010 from $17.1 million during the third quarter of 2009,
primarily as a result of the Bullet acquisition and increased dock cost related to revenue growth.
Due to our scalable operating model and targeted cost reduction initiatives, LTL other operating
expenses as a percentage of LTL revenues decreased to 18.7% during the third quarter of 2010 from
20.4% during the third quarter of 2009.
Within our TL brokerage business, other operating expenses increased by $0.4 million, or
14.6%, to $2.8 million during the third quarter of 2010 from $2.4 million during the third quarter
of 2009. As a percentage of TL brokerage revenues, this represents a slight decrease to 7.1% from
7.3% and is primarily due to increases in market pricing and tonnage, as well as continued
expansion of our TL brokerage agent network.
Within our TMS business, other operating expenses increased to $3.0 million during the third
quarter of 2010 from $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of recent
TMS acquisitions completed during the second half of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. As a
percentage of TMS revenues, this represents an increase to 16.7% from 14.7%
Other operating expenses that were not allocated to our LTL, TL, or TMS businesses declined to
$0.6 million during the third quarter of 2010 from $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2009.
The $0.6 million incurred during the third quarter of 2010 primarily represents corporate salaries
and stock-based compensation expense. The $0.8 million incurred during the third quarter of 2009
primarily represents acquisition transaction expenses and stock-based compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $0.7 million during both the third quarter of 2010 and the
third quarter of 2009. Within our LTL business, depreciation and amortization was $0.4 million
during both the third quarter of 2010 and the third quarter of 2009. Depreciation and amortization
within our TL business was $0.2 million during both the third quarter of 2010 and the third quarter
of 2009. Within our TMS business, depreciation and amortization was $0.1 million during both the
third quarter of 2010 and the third quarter of 2009.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by $3.7 million, or 87.2%, to $7.9 million during the third quarter
of 2010 from $4.2 million during the third quarter of 2009. As a percentage of revenues, operating
income increased to 4.8% during the third quarter of 2010 from 3.4% during the third quarter of
2009.
Within our LTL business, operating income increased by $2.0 million, or 62.9%, to $5.2 million
from $3.2 million, which represents an increase as a percentage of LTL revenues to 4.8% from 3.8%.
Within our TL business, operating income increased by $0.3 million, or 15.6%, to $1.6 million
from $1.3 million, which represents a slight decrease as a percentage of TL brokerage revenues to
4.0% from 4.1%.
Within our TMS business, operating income increased by $1.3 million to $1.8 million from
$0.5 million, which represents an increase as a percentage of TMS revenues to 10.0% from 5.4%.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $2.6 million, or 82.9%, to $0.6 million during the third quarter
of 2010 from $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2009, primarily attributable to the reduction
of our outstanding indebtedness resulting from the application of the net proceeds from our IPO,
partially offset by incremental debt financing to support the Bullet acquisition and the recent TMS
acquisitions.

Income Tax
Income tax provision was $3.0 million during the third quarter of 2010 compared to
$0.4 million during the third quarter of 2009. The effective tax rate was 40.6% during the third
quarter of 2010 compared to 37.6% during the third quarter of 2009. The effective income tax rate
in each quarter varies from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state and Canadian
income taxes as well as the impact of items causing permanent differences.
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
Net income available to common stockholders was $4.4 million during the third quarter of 2010
compared to net income of $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2009. Net income available to
common stockholders during the third quarter of 2009 was impacted by $0.5 million of accretion of
Series B preferred stock dividends. Upon completion of our IPO, our shares of Series B preferred
stock were converted into shares of our common stock and such accretion was eliminated as of the
date of conversion.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased by $110.8 million, or 31.2%, to $466.2 million during the
first nine months of 2010 from $355.4 million during the first nine months of 2009.
As a result of the addition of new customers and improvements in our LTL pricing, LTL revenues
increased by $70.3 million, or 30.0%, to $304.8 million during the first nine months of 2010 from
$234.5 million during the first nine months of 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, our LTL
tonnage increased by 24.4% over the first nine months of 2009, driven by a 22.7% increase in the
number of LTL shipments and a 1.4% increase in weight per shipment. Our LTL tonnage increase was
primarily driven by new customer growth, but a portion resulted from the acquisition of certain
assets of Bullet in December 2009. In addition to growth in tonnage and shipments, our revenue per
hundredweight including fuel surcharges increased 5.3% year-over-year, reflecting increased fuel
prices, stabilization in the LTL pricing environment, and our yield improvement initiatives.
TL brokerage revenues increased by $14.3 million, or 14.2%, to $114.9 million during the first
nine months of 2010 from $100.6 million during the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to
increases in market pricing and tonnage, as well as the expansion of our TL brokerage agent
network.
TMS revenues increased by $26.4 million, or 121.4%, to $48.2 million during the first nine
months of 2010 from $21.8 million during the first nine months of 2009, primarily as a result of
the addition of new customers and the acquisition of two TMS businesses during the second nine
months of 2009 and one business during the first quarter of 2010, which are not reflected prior to
their respective acquisition dates.
Purchased Transportation Costs
Purchased transportation costs increased by $85.2 million, or 30.6%, to $363.7 million during
the first nine months of 2010 from $278.5 million during the first nine months of 2009.
LTL purchased transportation costs increased by $54.1 million, or 31.0%, to $228.3 million
during the first nine months of 2010 from $174.2 million during the first nine months of 2009, and
increased modestly as a percentage of LTL revenues to 74.9% from 74.3%. This is primarily a result
of rising fuel costs and tighter capacity in the truckload market. Tighter capacity caused an
increase in rates paid to our third-party linehaul carriers. These factors were partially offset by
improved freight density throughout our network and increased utilization of our flexible base of
independent contractors.
TL purchased transportation costs increased by $13.0 million, or 14.7%, to $101.8 million
during the first nine months of 2010 from $88.8 million during the first nine months of 2009, and
increased slightly as a percentage of TL revenues to 88.6% from 88.2%, primary due to expansion of
our TL brokerage agent network and payment of related commissions to new agents.
19
Table of Contents
TMS purchased transportation costs increased by $18.3 million, or 108.5%, to $35.3 million
during the first nine months of 2010 from $17.0 million during the first nine months of 2009, and
decreased as a percentage of TMS revenues to 73.3% from 77.8%. This primarily resulted from recent
acquisitions, which expanded the TMS offering to include higher margin services.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses (which reflect the sum of the personnel and related benefits, other
operating expenses, acquisition transaction expenses, and transaction and IPO related expenses line
items shown in our condensed consolidated statements of operations) increased by $13.3 million, or
20.9%, to $77.0 million during the first nine months of 2010 from $63.7 million during the first
nine months of 2009.
Within our LTL business, other operating expenses increased by $6.9 million, or 13.4%, to
$57.8 million during the first nine months of 2010 from $50.9 million during the first nine months
of 2009, primarily as a result of the Bullet acquisition and increased dock costs related to
revenue growth. Due to our scalable operating model and targeted cost reduction initiatives, LTL
other operating expenses as a percentage of LTL revenues decreased to 19.0% during the first nine
months of 2010 from 21.7% during the first nine months of 2009.
Within our TL brokerage business, other operating expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 1.0%,
to $8.0 million during the first nine months of 2010 from $7.9 million during the first nine months
of 2009. As a percentage of TL brokerage revenues, however, this represents a decrease to 6.9% from
7.9% and is primarily due to increases in market pricing and tonnage, as well as continued
expansion of our TL brokerage agent network.
Within our TMS business, other operating expenses increased to $8.3 million during the first
nine months of 2010 from $3.6 million during the first nine months of 2009 as a result of recent
acquisitions. As a percentage of TMS revenues, other operating expenses increased to 17.2% during
the first nine months of 2010 from 16.4% during the first nine months of 2009, primarily due to
acquisitions of during the fourth quarter of 2009 and first quarter of 2010.
Other operating expenses that were not allocated to our LTL, TL, or TMS businesses increased
to $2.9 million during the first nine months of 2010 from $1.3 million during the first nine months
of 2009. The $2.9 million incurred during the first nine months of 2010 primarily represents
acquisition transaction expenses, IPO related expenses, corporate salaries, and stock-based
compensation expense. The $1.3 million incurred during the first nine months of 2009 primarily
represents acquisition transaction expenses, management agreement expenses, and stock-based
compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $2.4 million during the first nine months of 2010
from $2.2 million during the first nine months of 2009. Within our LTL business, depreciation and
amortization was $1.3 million during both the first nine months of 2010 and the first nine months
of 2009. Depreciation and amortization within our TL business was $0.6 million during the first
nine months of 2010 and $0.5 million during the first nine months of 2009. Within our TMS business,
depreciation and amortization was $0.5 million during the first nine months of 2010 and
$0.4 million during the first nine months of 2009.
Operating Income
Operating income increased by $12.1 million, or 109.1%, to $23.1 million during the first nine
months of 2010 from $11.0 million during the first nine months of 2009. As a percentage of
revenues, operating income increased to 5.0% during the first nine months of 2010 from 3.1% during
the first nine months of 2009.
Within our LTL business, operating income increased by $9.3 million, or 116.6%, to
$17.4 million from $8.1 million, which represents an increase as a percentage of LTL revenues to
5.7% from 3.4%.
Within our TL business, operating income increased by $1.1 million, or 31.8%, to $4.5 million
from $3.4 million, which represents an increase as a percentage of TL brokerage revenues to 4.0%
from 3.4%.
20
Table of Contents
Within our TMS business, operating income increased by $3.3 million to $4.1 million from
$0.8 million, which represents an increase as a percentage of TMS revenues to 8.4% from 3.8%.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 16.8%, to $7.9 million during the first nine
months of 2010 from $9.5 million during the first nine months of 2009, primarily attributable to
the reduction of our outstanding indebtedness with net proceeds from our IPO, partially offset by
incremental debt financing to support the Bullet acquisition and recent TMS segment acquisitions.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In connection with the refinancing of our credit agreement upon completion of our IPO, we
incurred a one-time loss on early extinguishment of debt of $15.9 million during the first nine
months of 2010. This charge consisted of (i) $10.6 million of prepayment penalties, (ii) the
payment of $2.6 million of unaccreted discount on our junior subordinated notes, (iii) the non-cash
write-off of $2.2 million of deferred debt issuance costs, and (iv) the payment of legal and other
miscellaneous fees of $0.5 million.
Income Tax
Income tax benefit was $0.4 million during the first nine months of 2010 compared to a
provision of $0.8 million during the first nine months of 2009. The effective tax rate was 60.2%
during the first nine months of 2010 compared to 52.4% during the first nine months of 2009. The
effective income tax rate in each period varies from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily
due to state and Canadian income taxes as well as the impact of items causing permanent
differences.
Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders
Net loss available to common stockholders was $1.1 million during the first nine months of
2010 compared to a net loss of $0.7 million during the first nine months of 2009. Net loss
available to common stockholders during the first nine months of 2010 was impacted by $0.8 million
of accretion of Series B preferred stock dividends, compared to an impact of $1.4 million during
the first nine months of 2009. Upon completion of our IPO, our shares of Series B preferred stock
were converted into shares of our common stock and such accretion was eliminated as of the date of
conversion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of cash have been borrowings under our revolving credit
facility, sale of subordinated notes, equity contributions, and cash flows from operations. Our
primary cash needs are to fund normal working capital requirements, to finance capital
expenditures, and to repay our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2010, we had $1.3 million in cash
and cash equivalents, $37.9 million in net working capital, and $21.9 million of availability under
our credit facility.
On May 18, 2010, we consummated our IPO. The net proceeds we received from this offering were
$115.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses. We used
the IPO proceeds to prepay $40.4 million of outstanding debt under our previous credit facility,
$42.8 million to retire subordinated notes and accrued interest and $31.8 million to retire the
junior subordinated notes and accrued interest, including prepayment penalties of $10.6 million.
In connection with our IPO, we entered into a new credit agreement on May 18, 2010 with U.S.
Bank National Association, a national banking association, acting as administrative agent for the
lender group. The credit agreement consists of a revolving line of credit up to a maximum aggregate
amount of $55 million, of which up to $5 million may be used for Swing Line Loans (as defined in
the credit agreement) and up to $8 million may be used for letters of credit. The credit facility
matures on May 18, 2015.
Advances under the credit agreement will bear interest at either (a) the Eurocurrency Rate (as
defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 2.5% to 3.0%, or (b)
the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement), plus an applicable margin in the range of 1.5%
to 2.0%.
21
Table of Contents
Our credit agreement requires us to meet financial tests, including a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and a maximum cash flow leverage ratio. In addition, our credit agreement contains
negative covenants limiting, among other things, additional indebtedness, capital expenditures,
transactions with affiliates, additional liens, sales of assets, dividends, investments and
advances, prepayments of debt, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters customarily restricted
in such agreements. Our credit agreement also contains customary events of default, including
payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, events of
bankruptcy and insolvency, failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the credit
agreement to be in full force and effect, and a change of control of our business. As of September
30, 2010, we are in compliance with all debt covenants.
We used $43.3 million of borrowings under the new facility, together with restricted cash of
$4.1 million, to retire our remaining outstanding debt, as well as to pay $4.6 million of
transaction and financing expenses.
On June 4, 2010, we consummated the sale of an additional 403,286 shares of common stock
pursuant to a partial exercise of the over-allotment option to purchase additional shares granted
to the underwriters of our IPO. The net proceeds from this exercise were $5.3 million, after
deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses. We used the proceeds to repay
$5.3 million of outstanding debt under our new credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash used in our operating activities primarily consists of net loss adjusted for certain
non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, deferred interest, share-based
compensation, provision for bad debts, deferred taxes and the effect of changes in working capital
and other activities.
The difference between our $0.3 million net loss and the $6.8 million cash used in operating
activities was primarily attributable to a $15.3 million increase in our accounts receivable and a
$4.6 million increase in prepaid and other assets, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in
our payables and a variety of non-cash charges, including $2.7 million of deferred interest, a
$2.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, and $2.9 million of depreciation and
amortization.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities was $1.0 million during the first nine months of 2010,
which primarily reflects the release of restricted cash of $4.1 million, $1.9 million used for a
business acquisition and $1.4 million of capital expenditures used to support our operations.

Table of Contents
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $4.9 million during the first nine months of 2010,
which primarily reflects net payments of $114.8 million on our credit facilities and other
long-term debt, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $119.9 million and payments of
$0.3 million for capital leases.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires that we make estimates and assumptions. In certain
circumstances, those estimates and assumptions can affect amounts reported in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. In preparing our financial
statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the
financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Application of the
accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to
future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. The
following is a brief discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to the
net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. Goodwill is tested for
impairment at least annually using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair
value at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are our operating segments as this is the
lowest level for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by
management. The impairment test for goodwill involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit
to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds
its fair value, a second step is required to measure the goodwill impairment loss. The second step
includes hypothetically valuing all the tangible and intangible assets of the reporting unit as if
the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the
reporting units goodwill is compared to the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying
amount of the reporting units goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, we
recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying amount.
For purposes of our impairment test, the fair value of our reporting units are calculated based
upon an average of an income fair value approach and market fair value approach.
Other intangible assets recorded consist of definite lived customer lists. We evaluate our
other intangible assets for impairment when current facts or circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the assets to be held and used may not be recoverable.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are recovered or settled. The use of
estimates by management is required to determine income tax expense, deferred tax assets and any
related valuation allowance and deferred tax liabilities. The determination of a valuation
allowance is based on estimates of future taxable income by jurisdiction in which the deferred tax
assets will be recoverable. In making such a determination, all available positive and negative
evidence, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax
planning strategies and recent financial operations, is considered. When evaluating the need for a
valuation allowance as of September 30, 2010, we considered that we achieved cumulative net income
before provision for income taxes for the most recent three years, after considering the impact of
offering expenses. Further, we expect to achieve cost savings from the restructuring and synergies
related to the Bullet acquisition and a reduction of interest expense related to debt restructuring
that will further increase our ability to realize the benefits of the net operating loss carry
forwards. The tax deductibility of the goodwill related to our acquisitions will reduce taxable
income in future years; however, under our current structure, we estimate that we will generate
taxable income in 2010 and will utilize all existing net operating losses carry forwards before
their expiration. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors, including possible tax
audits or general economic conditions or competitive pressures that could affect future taxable
income. Although
management believes that the estimates are reasonable, the deferred tax asset and any related
valuation allowance will need to be adjusted if managements estimates of future taxable income
differ from actual taxable income. An adjustment to the deferred tax asset and any related
valuation allowance could materially impact the consolidated results of operations. At September
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was no valuation allowance recorded.

At December 31, 2009 we had $37.1 million of gross federal net operating losses which are
available to reduce federal income taxes in future years and expire in the years 2025 through 2029.
We are subject to federal and state tax examinations for all tax years subsequent to December 31,
2005. Although the pre-2006 years are no longer subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue
Service and various state taxing authorities, NOL carryforwards generated in those years may still
be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities if they have been or will be
used in the future.
Revenue Recognition
LTL revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: an agreement of sale exists;
pricing is fixed or determinable; and collection of revenue is reasonably assured. We use a
percentage of completion method to recognize revenue, which results in an allocation of revenue
between reporting periods based on the distinctive phases of each LTL transaction completed in each
reporting period, with expenses recognized as incurred. Management believes that this is the most
appropriate method for LTL revenue recognition based on the multiple distinct phases of a typical
LTL transaction, which is in contrast to the single phase of a typical TL transaction.
TL revenue is recorded when all of the following have occurred: an agreement of sale exists;
pricing is fixed or determinable; delivery has occurred; and our obligation to fulfill a
transaction is complete and collection of revenue is reasonable assured. This occurs when we
complete the delivery of a shipment.
TMS transportation revenue and related transportation costs are recognized when the shipment
has been delivered by a third-party carrier. Fee for services revenue is recognized when the
services have been rendered. At the time of delivery or rendering of services, as applicable, our
obligation to fulfill a transaction is complete and collection of revenue is reasonably assured. We
offer volume discounts to certain customers. Revenue is reduced as discounts are earned.
We typically recognize revenue on a gross basis, as opposed to a net basis, because we bear
the risks and benefits associated with revenue-generated activities by, among other things, (1)
acting as a principal in the transaction, (2) establishing prices, (3) managing all aspects of the
shipping process, and (4) taking the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns. Certain TMS
transactions to provide specific services are recorded at the net amount charged to the client due
to the following factors: (A) We do not have latitude in establishing pricing, and (B) We do not
bear the risk of loss for delivery and returns; these items are the risk of the carrier.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk
In our LTL and TL businesses, our primary market risk centers on fluctuations in fuel prices,
which can affect our profitability. Diesel fuel prices fluctuate significantly due to economic,
political, and other factors beyond our control. Our ICs and purchased power pass along the cost of
diesel fuel to us, and we in turn attempt to pass along some or all of these costs to our customers
through fuel surcharge revenue programs. There can be no assurance that our fuel surcharge revenue
programs will be effective in the future. Market pressures may limit our ability to pass along our
fuel surcharges.
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to changes in interest rates on our revolving credit facility. The interest
rate on our credit facility fluctuates based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
Assuming our $55.0 million revolving credit facility was fully drawn, a 1.0% increase in the
borrowing rate would increase our annual interest expense by $0.5 million. We do not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and are not engaged in any interest rate
swap agreements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures for financial reporting to give
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports submitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is accumulated and
communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, together with management, conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30,
2010, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective such that information relating to the
Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports, (i)
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frames specified in SEC rules and
forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussion regarding
disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, does
not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will
prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems objectives
will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further,
because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of
controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of our
business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceeding that we believe would have a
material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the factors described in our prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
or the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 13, 2010
in analyzing an investment in our common stock. If any of such risks occur, our business, financial
condition, and results of operations would likely suffer, the trading price of our common stock
could fall, and you could lose all or part of the money you paid for our common stock.
In addition, the risk factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or
other documents we file with the SEC, or our annual or quarterly reports to stockholders, future
press releases, or orally, whether in presentations, responses to questions, or otherwise.
