| (1)   | On April 19, 2010, we entered into a new Credit Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company as Administrative Agent, which replaced our Amended and Restated Senior Credit Facility scheduled to mature on September 1, 2010.  The Credit Agreement provides for available borrowings of up to $100.0 million, including letters of credit not to exceed $25.0 million.  Availability may be reduced by a borrowing base limit as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides an accordion feature allowing us to increase the maximum borrowing amount by up to an additional $75.0 million in the aggregate in one or more increases, subject to certain conditions.  The Credit Agreement bears variable interest based on the type of borrowing and on the Administrative Agent’s prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a certain percentage, which is determined based on our attainment of certain financial ratios.  A quarterly commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit line and bears a rate which is determined based on our attainment of certain financial ratios.  The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s assets with the exception of real estate.  The Credit Agreement includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated, and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated.  The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, dividends, liens, acquisitions and dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business, and affiliate transactions.  The new Credit Agreement will expire on April 19, 2014. |

|   | (2) | Our capitalized lease obligations have various termination dates extending through January 2014 and contain renewal or fixed price purchase options.  The effective interest rates on the leases range from 3.2% to 4.8% at September 30, 2010.  The lease agreements require us to pay property taxes, maintenance and operating expenses. |

| ·   | General Freight.  Our General Freight service offering provides truckload freight services as a short- to medium-haul common carrier.  We have provided General Freight services since our inception and we derive the largest portion of our revenue from these services. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Dedicated Freight.  Our Dedicated Freight service offering is a variation of our General Freight service, whereby we agree to make our equipment and drivers available to a specific customer for shipments over particular routes at specified times.  In addition to serving specific customer needs, our Dedicated Freight service offering also aids in driver recruitment and retention. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Trucking base revenue grew by 14.5%, but only 2.3% of the increase came from growth in the tractor fleet (primarily from additions to our owner-operator ranks).  The balance of the increase resulted from higher base revenue per tractor per week. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | We reduced our Department of Transportation recordable accident frequency by 20.8% to its lowest level in the past four years, which led to an approximate 140 basis point improvement in insurance and claims costs. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | We also reduced our driver turnover rate by approximately 18 percentage points, which allowed us to man our fleet with drivers, reduce recruiting costs as a percent of revenue and hold the line on other driver-related costs despite a tightening driver labor pool. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| ·   | Our fuel cost per gallon rose steadily throughout the quarter, averaging 11.9% more than the comparable quarter.  The steady increase in fuel prices prevented our fuel surcharge program from keeping pace with the rising costs.  Thus, we purchased more fuel gallons at a higher price with less fuel surcharge recoveries.  The result was approximately 170 basis points of additional operating margin consumed by fuel costs, or approximately $0.10 per share. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Our tractor and trailer fleets are older than what we specify in our business model; 28 and 66 months, respectively, compared to our model of 22 and 42 months.  As a result, we incurred approximately 180 basis points of additional operating margin for maintenance costs, or approximately $0.11 per share. |

| ·   | Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased by 4.6 percentage points of base revenue due in large part to a 125.6% increase in non-trucking revenue, an 11.9% increase in Trucking base revenue per tractor per week and a 15.8% decrease in employee welfare costs (i.e., group insurance, payroll taxes, etc.).  If our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal revenue continues to increase, we would expect salaries, wages and employee benefits to continue to decrease as a percentage of base revenue absent offsetting increases in those expenses.  We have begun to see evidence of a tightening market of eligible drivers and anticipate that the implementation of CSA 2010 and new hours-of-service rules being reviewed by the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) may reduce the pool of eligible drivers and lead to increases in driver expenses that would increase salaries, wages, and employee benefits. |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Fuel and fuel taxes decreased 1.1 percentage points of base revenue, driven by the above-mentioned increase in non-trucking revenue, a 32.9% increase in tractors provided by owner operators, who are responsible for their own fuel costs and a 9.2% increase in our net Trucking revenue per mile.  These decreases were partially offset by an 11.9% increase in fuel prices combined with a decrease in our fuel economy of 2.4% due in part to our higher mileage equipment.  The steady increases in fuel prices through the quarter prevented our fuel surcharge program from keeping pace with the rising costs, which combined with the decrease in fuel economy resulted in approximately 170 basis points of additional operating margin consumed by fuel costs, or approximately $0.10 per share.  Fuel costs may continue to be affected in the future by price fluctuations, the terms and collectability of fuel surcharge revenue, the percentage of total miles driven by owner operators, the diversification of our business model into less asset-intensive operations and fuel efficiency. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| ·   | Purchased transportation, which is comprised of owner-operator compensation and fees paid to external transportation providers such as railroads, drayage carriers, broker carriers and Mexican carriers, increased by 5.4 percentage points of base revenue.  This increase was due primarily to a 122.3% increase in carrier expense associated with our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal revenue growth and a 43.2% increase in owner-operator expense in our Trucking segment.  We expect this expense would continue to increase when compared to prior periods if we achieve our long-term goals to increase the revenue of our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal operating segments and grow our owner-operator fleet. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Depreciation and amortization decreased 3.3 percentage points of base revenue due to the above-mentioned increase in Trucking base revenue per tractor per week and an increase in the percentage of our fleet comprised of owner-operators.  Prices for new tractors have risen in recent years due to Environmental Protection Agency mandates on engine emissions, and have increased with the introduction of the 2010 emission standards.  As a result of our plan to reduce the age of our fleet and due to increased costs of new equipment, we expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase as a percentage of revenue in future periods.  Depreciation and amortization expense may be affected in the future as equipment manufacturers change prices and if the prices of used equipment fluctuate. |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Operations and maintenance expense increased 2.3 percentage points of base revenue primarily due to a 55.5% increase in direct repair costs related to our higher mileage equipment and a 16.9% increase in tolls and weight tickets.  Toll expense has increased as a result of our excessive freight volumes in the Northeast U.S. where toll roads are more prevalent.  These increases were partially offset by the above mentioned increase in our net Trucking base revenue per mile and purchased transportation.  On April 1, 2009, we changed our method of accounting for tires; this change in estimate affected by a change in principle resulted in a reduction of operations and maintenance expense.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, this reduction on a pre-tax basis was approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and on a net of tax basis of approximately $0.8 million ($0.08 per share) and $0.9 million ($0.09 per share), respectively.  Operations and maintenance expense may decrease as the age of our fleet decreases, but we do not expect to see the benefits of the new equipment in this line item for a number of quarters.  Additionally, we expect any effect of the new equipment on the next two quarters to be masked as winter weather typically increases maintenance costs. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Insurance and claims expense decreased 1.4 percentage points of base revenue as we have seen a reduction in the number and severity of motor vehicle accidents, which contributed to a 14.1% decrease in physical damage expense for the quarter.  This reduction in accident severity, combined with the continuing education of our drivers regarding accident prevention, contributed to a decrease in our bodily injury and property damage claims and physical damage claims.  If we are able to continue to successfully execute our “War on Accidents” safety initiative, we would expect insurance and claims expense to gradually decrease over the long term, though remaining volatile from period-to-period. |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Operating taxes and licenses expense decreased 0.3 percentage points of base revenue due to a decrease in tractor registration cost related to the timing of placing equipment in service. |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Our effective tax rate increased from 22.6% in the third quarter of 2009 to 60.0% for the same period of 2010.  Income tax expense varies from the amount computed by applying the federal tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect, adjusted for permanent differences, the most significant of which is the effect of the per diem pay structure for drivers.  Due to the partially nondeductible effect of per diem payments, our tax rate will vary in future periods based on fluctuations in earnings and in the number of drivers who elect to receive this pay structure. |

| ·   | Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased by 3.8 percentage points of base revenue due in large part to a 119.4% increase in non-trucking revenue, a 6.1% increase in net Trucking revenue per mile and to a lesser extent a decrease of 9.5% in the empty mile factor.  If our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal revenue continues to increase, we would expect salaries, wages and employee benefits to continue to decrease as a percentage of base revenue absent offsetting increases in those expenses. |

| ·   | Fuel and fuel taxes as a percent of base revenue have not changed year-over-year.  Increased fuel costs of 16.7% per gallon and a 1.4% reduction in fuel economy attributed to the harsh winter weather experienced in the first quarter of 2010 combined with miles per gallon degradation associated with higher mileage equipment were offset by the above-mentioned increase in non-trucking revenue and a $1.2 million gain recognized on the sale of a fuel contract during the second quarter which was recorded as a reduction of fuel expense.  On May 25, 2010 we entered into an agreement to purchase 0.5 million gallons of diesel fuel per month for the time period of July 2010 through June 2012 as a hedge against the price of diesel fuel.  On June 28, 2010 we sold the contract to lock in the related gains, which resulted in a net of tax gain of $0.07 per share.  Fuel costs may continue to be affected in the future by price fluctuations, the terms and collectability of fuel surcharge revenue, the percentage of total miles driven by owner operators, the diversification of our business model into less asset-intensive operations and fuel efficiency. |

| ·   | Purchased transportation, which is comprised of owner-operator compensation and fees paid to external transportation providers such as railroads, drayage carriers, broker carriers and Mexican carriers, increased by 4.9 percentage points of base revenue.  This increase was due primarily to a 126.4% increase in carrier expense associated with our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal operating segment revenue growth combined with a 32.6% increase in our owner-operator expense.  We expect this expense would continue to increase when compared to prior periods if we can achieve our long-term goals to increase the revenue of our Strategic Capacity Solutions and Intermodal operating segments and grow our owner-operator fleet. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Depreciation and amortization decreased 2.2 percentage points of base revenue due to the above-mentioned increase in net Trucking revenue per mile and an increase in the percentage of our fleet comprised of owner-operators.  Prices for new tractors have risen in recent years due to Environmental Protection Agency mandates on engine emissions, and they are expected to increase with the introduction of the 2010 emission standards.  Depreciation and amortization expense may be affected in the future as equipment manufacturers change prices and if the prices of used equipment fluctuate. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Operations and maintenance expense increased 1.0 percentage points of base revenue primarily due to our increased maintenance costs on our higher mileage equipment and a 32.4% increase in tolls and weight tickets.  These increases were partially offset by the above-mentioned increase in net Trucking revenue per mile and purchased transportation.  Toll expense has increased as a result of our excessive freight volumes in the Northeast U.S. where toll roads are more prevalent.  On April 1, 2009, we changed our method of accounting for tires; this change in estimate affected by a change in principle resulted in a reduction of operations and maintenance expense.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, this resulted in a reduction of operations and maintenance expense on a pre-tax basis of approximately $4.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and on a net of tax basis of approximately $2.5 million ($0.24 per share) and $1.8 million ($0.17 per share), respectively. |

| ·   | Insurance and claims expense decreased 0.8 percentage points of base revenue as we have seen a reduction in the severity of motor vehicle accidents which, in effect, has contributed to a decrease in bodily injury and property damage claims and physical damage claims.  Also having a positive impact has been the continuing education of our drivers regarding accident prevention. If we are able to continue to successfully execute our “War on Accidents” safety initiative, we would expect insurance and claims expense to gradually decrease over the long term, though remaining volatile from period-to-period. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Operating taxes and licenses expense decreased 0.4 percentage points of base revenue primarily due to a 1.6% decrease in Company-owned tractors. |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Other expense decreased 0.7 percentage points of base revenue due to cost controls implemented in several areas of the Company and a reduction in software conversion costs combined with the increase in our in net Trucking revenue per mile and purchased transportation. |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·  | Our effective tax rate increased from 21.1% in 2009 to 69.8% in 2010.  Income tax expense varies from the amount computed by applying the federal tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect, adjusted for permanent differences, the most significant of which is the effect of the per diem pay structure for drivers.  Due to the partially nondeductible effect of per diem payments, our tax rate will vary in future periods based on fluctuations in earnings and in the number of drivers who elect to receive this pay structure. |

| ·   | A $1.5 million net loss was incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the $4.7 million net loss for the comparable prior year period due primarily to a 19.9% increase in revenue.  |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | A decrease of approximately $1.0 million in our tax liability resulting from the loss incurred during the current year. |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Resulting from the loss we incurred in 2009, we recorded a federal tax receivable of $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  We collected this tax refund during the second quarter of this year, which resulted in a reduction of accounts receivable.  The tax refund impact to accounts receivable was offset by an increase in trade freight accounts receivable, net of the allowance for uncollectible accounts, of $11.6 million due to an increase in revenue.  The cumulative result of the tax, trade freight and other receivables was a reduction in net cash used of $2.6 million when compared to the same period of the prior year. |
|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash used for purchases of inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets increased $2.6 million compared to the comparable prior year period.   Our accounting for prepaid tires accounted for $1.1 million of the increase.  The remaining difference was primarily due to an increase in maintenance parts inventory and credit facility renewal fees. |
|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses provided $5.3 million more cash than the comparable prior year period.  The primary reasons for the change were due to the timing of the fuel invoices as well as the increased cost of fuel, increasd purchased transportation expense and an increase in maintenance costs. |

| (1)   | Long-term debt obligations, excluding letters of credit in the amount of $2.3 million, consist of our recently consummated Credit Agreement, which matures on April 19, 2014. The primary purpose of this agreement is to provide working capital for the Company; however, the agreement is also used, as appropriate, to minimize interest expense on other Company purchases that could be obtained through other more expensive capital purchase financing sources.  Because the borrowing amounts fluctuate and the interest rates vary, they are subject to various factors that will cause actual interest payments to fluctuate over time.  Based on these factors, we have not included in this line item an estimate of future interest payments. |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (2)   | Includes interest payments not included in the balance sheet. |

| (3)   | Purchase obligations include commitments to purchase approximately $19.0 million of revenue equipment, none of which is cancelable by us upon advance written notice. |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Revenue recognition and related direct expenses based on relative transit time in each period.  Revenue generated by our Trucking operating segment is recognized in full upon completion of delivery of freight to the receiver’s location.  For freight in transit at the end of a reporting period, we recognize revenue pro rata based on relative transit time completed as a portion of the estimated total transit time.  Expenses are recognized as incurred. |

| ·   | Selections of estimated useful lives and salvage values for purposes of depreciating tractors and trailers.  We operate a significant number of tractors and trailers in connection with our business.  We may purchase this equipment or acquire it under leases.  We depreciate purchased equipment on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life down to an estimated salvage or trade-in value.  We initially record equipment acquired under capital leases at the net present value of the minimum lease payments and amortize it on the straight-line method over the lease term.  Depreciable lives of tractors and trailers range from three years to ten years.  We estimate the salvage value at the expected date of trade-in or sale based on the expected market values of equipment at the time of disposal. |

| ·   | Estimates of accrued liabilities for claims involving bodily injury, physical damage losses, employee health benefits and workers’ compensation.  We record both current and long-term claims accruals at the estimated ultimate payment amounts based on information such as individual case estimates, historical claims experience and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported.  The current portion of the accrual reflects the amounts of claims expected to be paid in the next twelve months.  In making the estimates, we rely on past experience with similar claims, negative or positive developments in the case and similar factors.  We do not discount our claims liabilities.  See our Claims Liabilities disclosure elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. |

| ·   | Stock option valuation.  The assumptions used to value stock options are dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life and anticipated forfeitures.  As we have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock, the dividend yield is zero.  Expected volatility represents the measure used to project the expected fluctuation in our share price.  We use the historical method to calculate volatility with the historical period being equal to the expected life of each option.  This calculation is then used to determine the potential for our share price to increase over the expected life of the option.  The risk-free interest rate is based on an implied yield on United States zero-coupon treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the outstanding options.  Expected life represents the length of time we anticipate the options to be outstanding before being exercised.  Based on historical experience, that time period is best represented by the option’s contractual life.  Anticipated forfeitures represent the number of shares under options we expect to be forfeited over the expected life of the options. |

| ·   | Accounting for income taxes. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities represent items that will result in taxable income or a tax deduction in future years for which we have already recorded the related tax expense or benefit in our consolidated statements of operations.  Deferred tax accounts arise as a result of timing differences between when items are recognized in our consolidated financial statements compared to when they are recognized in our tax returns.  Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized in full or in part.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We periodically assess the likelihood that all or some portion of deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income.  To the extent we believe recovery is not probable, a valuation allowance is established for the amount determined not to be realizable.  We have not recorded a valuation allowance at September 30, 2010, as all deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ·   | Prepaid tires.  Effective April 1, 2009, we changed our method of accounting for tires.  Commencing when the tires, including recaps, are placed into service, we account for them as prepaid expenses and amortize their cost over varying time periods, ranging from 18 to 30 months depending on the type of tire.  Prior to April 1, 2009, the cost of tires was fully expensed when they were placed into service.  We believe the new accounting method more appropriately matches the tire costs to the period during which the tire is being used to generate revenue.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, this change in estimate effected by a change in principle resulted in a reduction of operations and maintenance expense on a pre-tax basis of approximately $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and on a net of tax basis of approximately $0.8 million ($0.08 per share) and $2.5 million ($0.24 per share), respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, this change in estimate effected by a change in principle resulted in a reduction of operations and maintenance expense on a pre-tax basis of approximately $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and on a net of tax basis of approximately $0.9 million ($0.09 per share) and $1.8 million ($0.17 per share), respectively. |
