| (2)  | Represents                the current value of approximately 166,000 phantom stock units awarded                pursuant to our Executive Bonus and Phantom Stock Plan and a Supplemental                Executive Retirement Plan. An officer may elect to cash out any number                of                the phantom stock units between December 1 and December 15 of any                year                selected by the officer with the payout amount with respect to each                phantom stock unit being generally equal to the greater of (i) the                actual                price of our common stock on December 31 of the year of an officer’s                election to cash out the unit, or (ii) the average of the 12 month-end                values of our stock during the year in which an officer elects to                cash                out. Accordingly, we are unable to anticipate the year this currently                unfunded obligation will be paid in cash or the amount of cash ultimately                payable. |
| (3)  | Includes                the obligations of a "grantor" (or "rabbi") trust established in                connection with our 401(k) wrap plan to hold company assets to satisfy                obligations under the wrap plan. The trust obligations include                approximately 119,000 shares of our common stock that will be cashed                out either upon the eligibility of the obligations to be transferred                to                our 401(k) Savings Plan or upon the retirement of individual wrap                plan                participants. Accordingly, we are unable to anticipate the year this                amount will be paid in cash or the amount of cash ultimately                payable.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

|  Rabbi                Trust investment ($1.3 million) including 119,000 shares of our stock,                and                liabilities for stock-based deferred compensation arrangements, $1.3                million. |   |  Our                consolidated condensed financial statements include the assets and                liabilities of a Rabbi Trust established to hold the investments                of                participants in our 401(k) Wrap Plan and for deferred compensation                liabilities under our Executive Bonus and Phantom Stock Plan. Such                liabilities are adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in                the                market price of our Common Stock. Accordingly, our future compensation                expense and income will be impacted by fluctuations in the market                price of                our Common Stock. |

Additionally, controls over the identification                of non-routine transactions are being designed and implemented throughout                the Company to ensure that all appropriate personnel are trained                to                identify variable interest entities and are held accountable for                reporting                these items to the appropriate parties so that proper analysis can                be                conducted.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

| ii)                        | The                Company has developed stricter policies on the timely identification                of                events that may lead to the eventual assertion of claims for loss                of, and                damage to, customer freight in order to assure the proper and timely                matching and recording of such claims in the period in which the                revenue                associated with the loss was recognized. Management has also implemented                procedures where the personnel responsible for the daily management                of                such claims, as of the end of each quarterly period, review the                calculation of the reserve in detail and certify to management that                they                agree with that calculation.  Management’s review of such claims and                the associated accrual is also being improved through better visibility                into open and incurred but not yet reported claims and associated                changes                in reserves.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| iii)                            | The                components of accrued revenue and related accounts receivable represent                the Company’s estimates of the amounts that customers owe the Company for                revenue transactions and the Company owes to its employees and vendors                for                revenue-related expense transactions that have occurred but which                have not                yet been invoiced to customers. These components have been documented                and management’s review control for these accruals now include                tracing these components to their source records. Additionally, management                instituted a review process to ensure that the components of revenue                are reasonable, based on the comparison of the accrual to previous                periods, expectations as to revenue per mile, expectations of revenue                per                truck per week and reviews to ensure manual bills are recorded in                an                accurate and timely fashion. Furthermore, the alignment of the billing                function within the organization has been modified so that the finance                organization has better insight into these types of revenue transactions                and to ensure that the appropriate information is available at period                end.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| iv)                             | The                allowance for doubtful accounts from customers represents the                Company’s estimate of amounts that will not ultimately be                collected from customers. The components of this allowance and                management’s review control for this reserve includes tracing the                components of the reserve to their source records.  Additionally, the                calculation as of the end of each reporting period will be documented                and                tested to ensure that it conforms with management’s                objectives.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| v)                         | The                Company is improving its controls over manually billed revenue.                 Specifically, the Company is redefining its processes to ensure that                all                significant revenue transactions are processed through its computerized                information systems ensuring that they are properly reflected in                the                Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Furthermore, the                Company is redefining its policies and procedures for authorizing                and                documenting all such revenue to ensure that it is complete, accurate                and                timely. These procedures include: (a) review of key performance indicators                measuring the timeliness of the invoicing process; (b) monthly                reconciliations of manually billed revenue to the general ledger;                and (c)                more stringent requirements in obtaining supporting documentation                as                evidence that a revenue transaction occurred. Additionally, the alignment                of the billing function within the organization has been modified                to                ensure an increased level of segregation of duties between the sales                and                marketing functions that arrange such non-standard transactions and                the                billing function that is required to approve the supporting documentation,                in order to invoice these transactions in a timely and accurate fashion. |

| (2)                   | In                July, 2006, our former (until May 2006) Executive Vice President                exercised                stock options to acquire 416,653 shares of our common stock.                Simultaneously with the exercise, we repurchased from him all 416,653                shares at their fair market value of $9.41 per share.  Such                transactions are not deemed as having been repurchased as part of                our                publicly announced plans or                programs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
