<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: 1">Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, David R. Parker, offered the following comments: &#8220;After reviewing preliminary operating and financial information through the end of June, we expect to report earnings per diluted share (&#8220;EPS&#8221;) in the range of $0.32 to $0.33 and adjusted earnings per diluted share (&#8220;Adjusted EPS&#8221;)<sup style="vertical-align: text-top; line-height: 1; font-size: smaller">(1)</sup> in the range of $0.34 to $0.35. This is an update from our previous statement that we expected second quarter 2019 Adjusted EPS to be fairly consistent with the prior year quarter (we reported EPS and Adjusted EPS of $0.54 for the second quarter of 2018) based on an expectation of the freight market staying consistent and an occurrence of normal seasonal patterns.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1"><br style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1">
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: 1">Contrary to normal seasonal patterns, the truckload freight environment remained sluggish through most of the second quarter.&#160; We attribute the softer freight environment to factors such as continued excess inventory levels, a soft produce season, and the extra capacity of Class 8 tractors that entered the U.S. market over the last 9-12 months. For the second quarter of 2019, consolidated freight revenue is expected to increase approximately 14% compared with the second quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting the acquisition of Landair in July 2018. We are starting to see the early favorable impact on freight availability of the marginal correction of overcapacity and expect capacity reduction to continue throughout the remainder of 2019. Our contract logistics&#8217; customers have maintained steady freight for the first half of the year and we expect their business to remain steady through the end of the year.&#8221;</div>

Adjusted EPS is not a substitute for EPS measured in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. We believe our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts supplemental information that we use internally for purposes of assessing profitability. Further, our Board and management use non-GAAP EPS on a supplemental basis to remove items that may not be an indicator of performance from period-to-period. Although we believe that Adjusted EPS improves comparability in analyzing our period-to-period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry, if those companies define such measures differently. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EPS should not be considered a measure of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis. Our calculation of Adjusted EPS starts with U.S. GAAP EPS and adds back the after-tax impact of non-cash intangible asset amortization, reconciled as follows:</font></div>
