Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026
- We expect our annual cost of tractor and trailer ownership will increase in future periods as a result of higher prices of new equipment, along with any increases in fleet size.
- Although certain factors affecting our expenses are beyond our control, we monitor them closely and attempt to anticipate changes in these factors in managing our business.
- We estimate that capital expenditures, net of proceeds from dispositions, will be approximately $39 million for the remainder of 2026.
- We believe our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet our current and anticipated needs for at least the next twelve months.
- Based upon anticipated cash flows, existing cash and cash equivalents balances, current borrowing availability and other sources of financing we expect to be available to us, we do not anticipate any significant liquidity constraints in the foreseeable future.
- We expect our annual cost of tractor and trailer ownership will increase in future periods as a result of continued higher prices of new equipment, which will result in greater depreciation over the useful life.
- Future gains or losses on dispositions of revenue equipment will be impacted by the market for used revenue equipment, which is beyond our control.
- We currently expect to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future.
