Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose was the Dow Jones Transportation Average for 2022 and 2021, and the Nasdaq Industrial Transportation Index for 2020. Beginning in 2021, the Dow Jones Transportation Average was selected as a peer group as we believe the companies included in the Dow Jones Transportation Average are better aligned with our business.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
