Our operations can generally be classified into truckload services or brokerage
and logistics services. Truckload services include those transportation services
in which we utilize company owned trucks or owner-operator owned trucks for
the pickup and delivery of freight. The brokerage and logistics services consists
of services such as transportation scheduling, routing, mode selection, transloading
and other value added services related to the transportation of freight which
may or may not involve the use of company owned or owner-operator owned equipment.
Both our truckload operations and our brokerage and logistics operations have
similar economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic
factors.
