Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 27, 2025, the company issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the company’s press release dated January 27, 2025 announcing the company’s financial results for this period.
The press release also includes a discussion of operating revenue, net of fuel surcharge revenue; and operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue, with both amounts net of fuel surcharge revenue. The company provided these additional disclosures because management believes removing these items provide a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period. These financial measures in the press release have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Regulation G, the company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. For the discussion of operating revenue, net of fuel surcharge revenue; and operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue, with both amounts net of fuel surcharge revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are operating revenue, and operating expenses divided by operating revenue, which are reconciled in the attached Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this report and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Section 7 – Regulation FD
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Representatives of the company make presentations at investor conferences and in other forums, and these presentations may include the information contained in Exhibit 99.2 attached to this current report on Form 8-K. A copy of the presentation slides containing such information that may be disclosed by the company is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and the information set forth therein is incorporated herein by reference and constitutes a part of this report. The company expects to disclose the information contained in Exhibit 99.2, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors, analysts and others during 2025.
The company is furnishing the information contained in Exhibit 99.2 pursuant to Regulation FD and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. The information in Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
The information contained in Exhibit 99.2 is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the company’s SEC filings and other public announcements that the company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in Exhibit 99.2, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure. By filing this current report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information contained in this report, including Exhibit 99.2.

Executive Chairman Randolph L. Marten stated, “We are encouraged by this quarter being the first quarter with sequential improvement in each of our net income, operating income and operating ratio, net of fuel surcharges, since the second quarter of 2022, a period that preceded the freight market recession’s severe inflationary operating costs, freight rate reductions and freight network disruptions. Our people also drove sequential increases this quarter in our revenue per tractor, rate per total mile and miles per tractor within each of our truckload and dedicated operations.”
“We continue to focus on minimizing the freight market’s impact on our operations while investing in and positioning our operations to capitalize on profitable organic growth opportunities, with fair compensation for our premium services, across each of our business operations for what comes next in the freight cycle as the market moves toward equilibrium.”
