Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Basis of Presentation

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Universal Truckload Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, or the Company or UTSI, have been prepared by the Company’s management. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the information required to be set forth therein. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company’s fiscal year consists of four quarters, each with thirteen weeks.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior financial statements in order for them to conform to the October 2, 2010 presentation.

(2) Transactions with CenTra and Affiliates

Through December 31, 2004, UTSI was a wholly owned subsidiary of CenTra, Inc., or CenTra. On December 31, 2004, CenTra distributed all of UTSI’s common stock to the sole shareholders of CenTra, Matthew T. Moroun and a trust controlled by Manuel J. Moroun, collectively the Morouns. Subsequent to the initial public offering in 2005, the Morouns retained and continue to hold a controlling interest in UTSI.

CenTra provides management services to UTSI, including legal, human resources, and tax services. The cost of these services is allocated to the Company and is based on the estimated utilization of the specific services. Management believes the allocation method is reasonable. However, the costs of these services charged to UTSI are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if UTSI had internally performed or acquired these services as a separate unaffiliated entity.

In addition to the management services described above, UTSI purchases other services from CenTra. Following is a schedule of the costs incurred for services provided by CenTra (in thousands):

(3) Debt

The Company and KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, entered into a Third Amendment to Loan Agreement and Third Amendment to Promissory Note, or the Agreement, dated August 24, 2010. The Agreement amends the Promissory Note dated October 29, 2007, the First Amendment to Loan Agreement and First Amendment to Promissory Note dated October 28, 2008, and the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and Second Amendment to Promissory Note dated October 26, 2009, for the period October 26, 2009 to October 25, 2010, to amend the rate at which the Company shall pay interest on outstanding borrowings, if any. Under the amended Agreement with KeyBank, the Company’s maximum permitted borrowings and letters of credit in the aggregate may not exceed $20 million. The line of credit is unsecured, and bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate minus .50% or LIBOR plus 1.00% (effective rate of 1.26% at October 2, 2010). The Agreement governing our unsecured line of credit contains various financial and restrictive covenants to be maintained by the Company including requirements to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $100 million, a debt to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 1 to 1, and quarterly net profits of at least one dollar. For purposes of this Agreement, tangible net worth is defined as total assets, excluding all intangible assets, less total debt. The Agreement also may, in certain circumstances, limit our ability to pay dividends or distributions utilizing our line of credit. The Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of October 2, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company did not have any amounts outstanding under its line of credit at October 2, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and there were letters of credit aggregating $690,000 and $755,000 issued against the line, respectively.

(3) Debt - continued

On May 1, 2006, UTS Realty, LLC, or Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received a $1,000,000 loan from the County of Cuyahoga, Ohio, or the County, to be used for improvements to its Cleveland, Ohio container storage facility. The loan agreement requires quarterly interest payments at an annual rate of 5.0%. Through January 31, 2011, subject to certain conditions, the County will forgive $450,000 of the principal amount owed. On January 31, 2007, the Company began recording the forgiveness as a reduction of the loan and as a reduction in the cost of the underlying improvements at a rate of $90,000 per annum. The remaining principal was due at maturity on January 31, 2011; however, at Realty’s option, the maturity date could have been extended until January 31, 2021. In June 2010, the Company repaid $550,000 of the remaining principal balance. As of October 2, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance under the loan was $90,000 (presented under other current liabilities) and $730,000, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of this debt was approximately $490,000. In connection with this loan, Realty and the Company entered into an environmental indemnity agreement with the County and the Company issued a $640,000 standby letter of credit that expires February 14, 2011. Under the terms of the environmental indemnity agreement, Realty and the Company have agreed to indemnify the County, without limitation, against any loss attributable to the generation, storage, release or presence of Regulated Materials, as defined in the environmental indemnity agreement, at the container storage facility. In connection with the acquisition of the Cleveland, Ohio property in August 2005, Realty received indemnity from the seller from any and all claims, which Realty may incur as a direct consequence of any environmental condition of which the seller had actual knowledge as of the date of the acquisition of the property.

(4) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, 187,500 options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such options were anti-dilutive. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009, 190,000 options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such options were anti-dilutive.

(5) Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, UTSI’s board of directors adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Plan, which became effective upon completion of the Company’s initial public offering. The Plan allows for the issuance of a total of 500,000 shares. The grants may be made in the form of restricted stock bonuses, restricted stock purchase rights, stock options, phantom stock units, restricted stock units, performance share bonuses, performance share units or stock appreciation rights. On February 11, 2005, UTSI granted 260,000 options to certain of its employees. The stock options granted vested immediately, have a life of seven years and have an exercise price of $22.50 per share. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the Plan pursuant to the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation was reflected in net income prior to fiscal year 2006, as all options granted under the Plan had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The intrinsic value of all outstanding options as of October 2, 2010 and September 26, 2009 was $0.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity and related information for the period indicated:

(6) Comprehensive Income - (continued)

Accumulated other comprehensive income at October 2, 2010 of $1,736,000 represents the net unrealized holding gains on available–for-sale investments of $2,920,000 net of related income tax expense of $1,184,000. At October 2, 2010, the gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale investments were $3,240,000 and $320,000, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2009 of $632,000 represents the unrealized holding gains on available–for-sale investments of $1,031,000, net of related income tax expense of $399,000. At December 31, 2009, the gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale investments were $2,025,000 and $994,000, respectively.

(7) Acquisitions

In 2010, UTSI acquired the following companies for a total cost of $3,431,000:

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company acquired Cavalry Transportation, LLC and Cavalry Logistics, LLC, or Cavalry, based in Nashville, Tennessee, for $2,747,000. Cavalry offers fully integrated transportation resources designed to maximize value for its customers through logistic solutions in intermodal, truckload, and less-than-truckload transportation options. As of December 31, 2009, $2,647,000 of the original purchase price was paid in cash as an advance for the acquisition, and recorded in other assets. The remaining amount is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company used cash and cash equivalents to finance the acquisition. Pursuant to the acquisition, Cavalry operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Truckload Services, Inc.

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets of TSD Transportation L.P., or TSD, based in Texarkana, Texas, for $684,000. As part of the acquisition, the Company is required to pay cash consideration to the former owners of TSD based on a percentage of revenues generated through December 31, 2011. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the earnout liability was $434,000. As of October 2, 2010, the total of the additional cash consideration paid to the former owners of TSD was approximately $98,000 and was recorded as a reduction of the earnout liability. TSD provides a wide variety of for hire freight services including van, flatbed, step deck, heavy haul, hot shots, and intermodal services throughout the United States. The Company used cash and cash equivalents to finance the acquisition. Pursuant to the acquisition, TSD International operates as part of Louisiana Transportation, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Truckload Services, Inc.

The pro forma effect of these acquisitions has been omitted, as the effect is immaterial to the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The allocation of the purchase price of these companies is as follows (in thousands):

The intangible assets acquired represent the acquired companies’ customer relationships and are being amortized over a period of seven years.

(7) Acquisitions - continued

Goodwill represents the expected synergies to be achieved through the integration of the acquired companies into UTSI, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate accounting recognition under generally accepted accounting principles.

The operating results of the acquired companies have been included in the consolidated statements of income since their respective acquisition dates; however, they have not been separately disclosed as they are deemed immaterial.

(8) Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and expanded disclosures with respect to fair value measurements.

FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

The Company has segregated all financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the tables below (in thousands):

(8) Fair Value Measurements - continued

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the tables above are as follows:

(9) Marketable Securities

At October 2, 2010, marketable securities, all of which are available-for-sale, consist of common and preferred stocks. Marketable securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), except for losses from impairments which are determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the determination of net income and are included in other non-operating income (expense), at which time the average cost basis of these securities are adjusted to fair value. Fair values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in other non-operating income (expense).

The cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value of available-for-sale securities by type were as follows (in thousands):

12

UNIVERSAL TRUCKLOAD SERVICES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

(9) Marketable Securities - continued

Included in equity securities at October 2, 2010 are securities with a fair value of $2.6 million with a cumulative loss position of $0.3 million, the impairment of which the Company considers to be temporary. The Company considers several factors in its determination as to whether declines in value are judged to be temporary or other-than-temporary, including the severity and duration of the decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the specific issuers and the industries in which they operate, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold these securities. The Company may incur future impairment charges if declines in market values continue and/or worsen and impairments are no longer considered temporary.

The following table shows the gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired aggregated by type and length of time they have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at October 2, 2010 (in thousands):

The Company’s portfolio of equity securities in a continuous loss position, the impairment of which the Company considers to be temporary, consists primarily of common stocks in the banking and finance, energy, pharmaceutical, and transportation industries. The fair value and unrealized losses are distributed in 13 publicly traded companies, with a concentration of losses in the banking and finance industry. The Company has evaluated the near-term prospects of certain issuers within this industry, as well as the other issuers in the remainder of its portfolio, in relation to the severity and duration of the impairments, and based on such evaluation, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time to allow for a recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at October 2, 2010.

The Company from time to time invests cash in excess of its current needs in marketable securities, much of which is held in equity securities, which are actively traded on public exchanges. It is the philosophy of the Company to minimize the risk of capital loss without foregoing the potential for capital appreciation through investing in value-and-income oriented investments. However, holding equity securities subjects the Company to fluctuations in the market value of its investment portfolio based on current market prices, and a drop in market prices or other unstable market conditions could cause a loss in the value of the Company’s marketable securities.

(10) Contingencies

The Company is involved in claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters primarily involve claims for personal injury and property damage incurred in the transportation of freight. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, the Company believes all such litigation is adequately covered by insurance or otherwise provided for and that adverse results in one or more of those cases would not have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition, operating results and cash flows. However, if the ultimate outcome of these matters, after provisions thereof, is materially different from the Company’s estimates, they could have a material effect on the Company’s operating results and cash flows in any given quarter or year.

(11) Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except for the following matter, we are not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 25, 2010, the Company and KeyBank entered into an Amendment and Change in Terms Agreement whereby the maturity date of the existing Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement and Third Amendment to Promissory Note was amended and deemed to be November 8, 2010. On October 28, 2010, the Company and KeyBank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, collectively referred to as the Agreement, for the period October 25, 2010 to October 24, 2011, thereby replacing the previous loan agreements. Under the Agreement with KeyBank, the Company’s maximum permitted borrowings and letters of credit in the aggregate may not exceed $20 million. The line of credit is unsecured, and bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Agreement governing our unsecured line of credit contains various financial and restrictive covenants to be maintained by the Company including requirements to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $85 million, a debt to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 1 to 1, and quarterly net profits of at least one dollar. For purposes of this Agreement, tangible net worth is defined as total assets, excluding all intangible assets, less total debt. The Agreement also may, in certain circumstances, limit our ability to pay dividends or distributions utilizing our line of credit. The Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

Some of the statements and assumptions in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These statements identify prospective information. Important factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will” and “would” or other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial position or state other “forward-looking” information. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as any other cautionary language in that Form 10-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are primarily an asset-light provider of transportation services to shippers throughout the United States and in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Our over-the-road trucking services include both flatbed and dry van operations and we provide rail-truck and steamship-truck intermodal support services. We also offer truck brokerage services, which allow us to supplement our capacity and provide our customers with transportation of freight not handled by our owner-operators. In addition, we offer full service international freight forwarding and customs house brokerage services.

Our use of agents and owner-operators reduces our need to provide non-driver facilities and tractor and trailer fleets. The primary physical assets we provide to our agents and owner-operators include a portion of our trailer fleet, our headquarters facility, our management information systems and our intermodal depot facilities. Our business model provides us with a highly variable cost structure, allows us to grow organically using relatively small amounts of cash, gives us a higher return on assets compared to many of our asset-based competitors and preserves an entrepreneurial spirit among our agents and owner-operators that we believe leads to improved operating performance. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, approximately 85.3% and 84.3%, respectively, of our total operating expenses were variable in nature and our capital expenditures were $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth items derived from our consolidated statements of income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and September 26, 2009, as a percentage of operating revenues:

Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 2, 2010 Compared to Thirty-nine Weeks Ended September 26, 2009

Operating revenues. Operating revenues for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $86.4 million, or 23.8%, to $449.8 million from $363.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The increase in operating revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of loads in our truckload and intermodal operations, an increase in our brokerage operations attributable to our acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009, and an increase in fuel surcharges. The increase in the number of loads in our truckload operations is primarily attributable to our acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009 and the increase in the number of loads in our intermodal operations is attributable to organic growth. The number of loads from our combined truckload and intermodal operations was 480,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to 414,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. Included in operating revenues are fuel surcharges of $40.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to $24.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, our operating revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharges, from our combined truckload and brokerage operations increased to $2.12 from $2.04 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. Included in operating revenues is approximately $52.9 million attributable to acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009, which consists of $30.0 million in truckload operations and $22.9 million in brokerage operations. Excluding the effects of acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009, revenue from our truckload operations increased by $22.6 million, or 10.0%, to $248.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 from $225.6 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. Excluding the effects of acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009, revenue from our brokerage operations increased by $1.7 million, or 2.0%, to $83.5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to $81.8 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. Revenue from our intermodal support services increased by $9.3 million, or 16.6%, to $65.2 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 from $55.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009.

Purchased transportation. Purchased transportation expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $69.7 million, or 25.6%, to $341.6 million from $271.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. As a percentage of operating revenues, purchased transportation expense increased to 76.0% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 from 74.8% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The absolute increase was primarily due to the increase in our operating revenues. Purchased transportation expense generally increases or decreases in proportion to the revenues generated through owner-operators and other third party providers. The increase in purchased transportation as a percent of operating revenues is primarily due to an increase in fuel surcharges, which are passed through to owner-operators, and a higher cost of transportation in our brokerage business.

16

Commissions expense. Commissions expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $4.6 million, or 18.9%, to $28.9 million from $24.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. As a percentage of operating revenues, commissions expense decreased to 6.4% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to 6.7% for thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The absolute increase was primarily due to the increase in our operating revenues. Commissions expense generally increases or decreases in proportion to the revenues. As a percentage of revenues, the decrease in commissions expense is due to an increase in fuel surcharges, which are passed on through to our owner operators, and as such, no commission is paid, and an increase in revenues generated by our company managed locations.

Other operating expense. Other operating expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $3.4 million, or 48.9%, to $10.3 million from $6.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. As a percentage of operating revenues, other operating expense increased to 2.3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to 1.9% for thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $4.4 million, or 13.1%, to $37.8 million from $33.4 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. As a percentage of operating revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 8.4% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to 9.2% for thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The absolute increase was primarily the result of increases in salaries and wage expense of $3.3 million, travel and entertainment costs of $0.6 million, legal and professional fees of $0.4 million, our provision for uncollectible agent loans of $0.3 million, and other selling, general, and administrative costs of $0.4 million. These increases are primarily due to the additional costs incurred in connection with the acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our bad debt expense of $0.7 million.

Insurance and claims. Insurance and claims expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 decreased by $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to $12.8 million from $13.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. As a percentage of operating revenues, insurance and claims decreased to 2.9% for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 from 3.6% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The absolute decrease is the result of decreases in our cargo claims expense of $1.0 million and other contractor insurance and safety costs of $0.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our auto liability insurance premiums and claims expense.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $0.5 million, or 5.9%, to $8.2 million from $7.7 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009.

The absolute increase is primarily the results of additional depreciation on our capital expenditures made throughout 2009 and 2010, and the additional amortization with respect to intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009.

Interest expense (income), net. Net interest income for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 was $81 thousand compared to net interest expense of $133 thousand for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009.

Other non-operating income (expense).

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 increased by $4.6 million to $6.5 million from $1.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our taxable income and an increase in our effective tax rate. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 and September 26, 2009, we had an effective income tax rate of 40.5% and 37.6%, respectively, based upon our income before provision for income taxes. The increase in our effective tax rate is due to prior period adjustments to our state income taxes.

The increase in the number of loads in our truckload operations is primarily attributable to our acquisitions made since the third quarter of 2009 and the increase in the number of loads in our intermodal operations is attributable to organic growth. The number of loads from our combined truckload and intermodal operations was 161,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2010 compared to 144,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are funds generated by operations, proceeds from the sales of marketable securities, and our revolving unsecured line of credit with KeyBank.

We employ a primarily asset-light operating strategy. Substantially all of the tractors and more than 50% of the trailers utilized in our business are provided by our owner-operators and we have no capital expenditure requirements relating to this equipment. As a result, our capital expenditure requirements are limited in comparison to most large trucking companies which maintain sizable fleets of owned tractors and trailers, requiring significant capital expenditures.

During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010, we made capital expenditures totaling $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively. These expenditures primarily consisted of land and improvements, tractors and trailers, and computer equipment.

Through the end of 2010, exclusive of acquisitions, we expect to incur capital expenditures of $1.5 million to $2.0 million relating to real property acquisitions, and improvements to our existing facilities and the acquisition of additional terminal yards or container facilities. We also expect to incur capital expenditures of $3.7 million to $4.2 million for tractors, trailers, containers, chassis, and other equipment.

We expect that our working capital and available borrowings will be sufficient to meet our capital commitments and fund our operational needs for at least the next twelve months. Based on the availability under our unsecured line of credit and assuming the continuation of our current operating cash flows, we do not expect that we will experience any liquidity constraints in the foreseeable future.

We continue to evaluate business development opportunities, including potential acquisitions that fit our strategic plans. There can be no assurance that we will identify any opportunities that fit our strategic plans or will be able to execute any such opportunities on terms acceptable to us. Any such opportunities will be financed from available cash and cash equivalents, and our unsecured line of credit.

19

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to finance our growth and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Unsecured Line of Credit

The Company and KeyBank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, or the Agreement, dated October 28, 2010, effective for the period October 25, 2010 to October 24, 2011 thereby replacing the previous Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, and all amendment thereto, which terminated due to the expiration of their terms. Under the Agreement with KeyBank, the Company’s maximum permitted borrowings and letters of credit in the aggregate may not exceed $20 million. The line of credit is unsecured, and bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Agreement governing our unsecured line of credit contains various financial and restrictive covenants to be maintained by the Company including requirements to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $85 million, a debt to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 1 to 1, and quarterly net profits of at least one dollar. For purposes of this Agreement, tangible net worth is defined as total assets, excluding all intangible assets, less total debt. The Agreement also may, in certain circumstances, limit our ability to pay dividends or distributions utilizing our line of credit. The Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

The Third Amendment to Loan Agreement and Third Amendment to Promissory Note, or the Previous Agreement, dated August 24, 2010 for the period to October 25, 2010 was permitted maximum borrowings and letters of credit in the aggregate not exceed $20 million. The line of credit was unsecured, and bore interest at a rate equal to the lesser of the Prime Rate minus .50% or LIBOR plus 1.00% (effective rate of 1.26% at October 2, 2010). The Previous Agreement governing this unsecured line of credit contained various financial and restrictive covenants to be maintained by the Company including requirements to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $100 million, a debt to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 1 to 1, and quarterly net profits of at least one dollar. For purposes of the Previous Agreement, tangible net worth was defined as total assets, excluding all intangible assets, less total debt. The Previous Agreement also may have, in certain circumstances, limited our ability to pay dividends or distributions utilizing our line of credit. The Previous Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of October 2, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. The Company did not have any amounts outstanding under its line of credit at October 2, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and there were letters of credit aggregating $690,000 and $755,000 issued against the line, respectively

Discussion of Cash Flows

At October 2, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3.0 million compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 resulted from $3.3 million in cash provided by operating activities and $1.0 million of in cash provided by investing activities. This was partially offset by $2.3 million in cash used in financing activities.

The $3.3 million in cash provided by operations was primarily attributed to $9.6 million of net income adjusted for $8.2 million of non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, $5.4 million of gains on the sales of marketable securities, $2.0 million in changes in deferred income taxes, $1.0 million of non-cash charges for provisions for doubtful accounts, and an increase in the working capital position of the Company of $8.2 million. The increase in the working capital position is primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales, which was partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets and an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities.

The $1.0 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 consisted of $11.4 million in proceeds from the sales of marketable securities, offset by $7.6 million of capital expenditures, $2.5 million in purchases of marketable securities, and $0.4 million for the acquisition of businesses. In 2009, the Company made $2.7 million in advances for the acquisitions of businesses.

The $2.3 million in cash used in financing activities for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2010 consisted of $0.5 million in repayments on our loan from Cuyahoga County, $0.3 for the payments of earnout obligations, and $1.5 million for the purchases of treasury stock.
