Executive summary
Q1 2026 was marked by severe weather and fuel cost headwinds early in the quarter, resulting in lower EPS and net income, but March saw improved freight volumes and rates, with a positive trajectory continuing into April, indicating a structural market change.
Expedited and Managed Freight segments are expected to benefit first from improving market conditions, with operational leverage anticipated to drive sequential improvement.
The new business pipeline for committed truckload capacity strengthened for both Expedited and Dedicated fleets.
The company plans to focus on yield improvement and asset reallocation to higher-margin operations for the remainder of 2026.
$1.8 million was distributed to shareholders via dividends in Q1 2026.
Financial highlights
Total revenue rose 14.0% year-over-year to $307.2 million; freight revenue increased 15.9% to $281.9 million, driven by the acquisition of Star Logistics Solutions.
GAAP net income was $4.4 million, down from $6.6 million year-over-year; adjusted net income was $6.9 million, down from $9.0 million.
Adjusted operating income declined 11.5% to $9.6 million due to margin compression in the Expedited segment.
Adjusted operating ratio was 96.6% (vs. 95.5% prior year); GAAP operating ratio was 98.0%.
Equity investment in TEL contributed $3.7 million pre-tax net income, nearly flat year-over-year.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects gradual improvement in yield and revenue per tractor, with momentum building into Q2 and beyond, supported by strong customer demand and shrinking industry capacity.
Rate and lane improvements secured in Q1 will begin to impact results in Q2 and beyond.
Capital expenditures for 2026 are planned at $40–$50 million, a reduction from 2025.
2026 is viewed as a transition year for the freight market.
The company anticipates operating income margins in Warehousing to recover to high-single digits as new business stabilizes.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
