<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">FORT SMITH, Arkansas December&nbsp;5, 2016 &#151; ArcBest</font><font size="1" style="font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-3.0pt;">SM</font>&#160;(Nasdaq: ARCB) today announces that J. Lavon Morton, senior vice president &#151; risk and chief audit executive, will retire on December&nbsp;31, 2016, following a 20-year career with the company.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Two current ArcBest employees will be promoted to take on Morton&#146;s responsibilities going forward. Laura Bogner becomes vice president &#151; internal audit, and Cheryl Harper becomes vice president &#151; tax, both effective on January&nbsp;1, 2017.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Morton&#146;s association with ArcBest began as an Ernst&nbsp;&amp; Young staff accountant in 1972 and continued in various roles throughout his career at E&amp;Y, where he served as both audit engagement partner and tax partner at various times. Morton joined ArcBest in 1996 as assistant treasurer and became vice president &#151; financial reporting in 1997. He later served as vice president &#151; tax and chief internal auditor before he was promoted to his current position in 2010.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;As ArcBest has grown organically and through acquisitions, Lavon has been an integral part of the company, leading all internal audit, risk management and tax-planning efforts. His hard work and dedication have benefited ArcBest, and he will be greatly missed,&#148; said Judy R. McReynolds, ArcBest chairman, president and chief executive officer. &#147;I thank Lavon for his service to our company, and I wish him and his family the very best.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Bogner, currently director of internal audit, will lead internal audit efforts for ArcBest. She is a Certified Public Accountant and a summa cum laude graduate of Arkansas Tech University. Bogner joined ArcBest in 2000 as internal audit supervisor and later became audit manager. She was promoted to her current role in 2011.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Harper, currently director of corporate tax, will head the tax compliance and planning efforts for ArcBest. Harper has a juris doctor from the William H. Bowen School of Law at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock and a master of laws in taxation from the University of Denver. She joined ArcBest in 2010 as manager of tax. She was promoted to senior manager of tax in 2014 and was named to her current role in 2015.</font></p>
