Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed by us under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for an update of the following risk factor:
Our business is subject to general economic and business factors that are largely beyond our control, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our operating results. Our business is dependent on a number of general economic and business factors that may have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include excess capacity in the trucking industry, strikes or other work stoppages, and significant increases or fluctuations in interest rates, fuel taxes, fuel prices and license and registration fees. We are affected by recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customers’ business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries where we have a significant concentration of customers. Economic conditions may adversely affect our customers and their ability to pay for our services.
During the first six months of 2025, the Trump administration has imposed new and increased tariff rates on imported goods from a number of countries. Although it is difficult to forecast the depth and duration of the resulting impact since the tariff policies are rapidly evolving and changing, such trade policies and tariff implementations, and any related retaliatory trade policies and tariff implementations by foreign governments, may result in decreased shipping volumes and have an adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations. In addition, the imposition of additional tariffs or quotas or changes to certain trade agreements, or retaliatory trade policies could, among other things, increase the cost of the materials used by our suppliers to produce new revenue equipment, limit the availability of new revenue equipment, or increase the price of fuel. Such cost increases for our revenue equipment suppliers would likely be passed on to us, and to the extent fuel prices increase, we may not be able to fully recover such increases through rate increases or our fuel surcharge programs, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business.
Lastly, it is not possible to predict the effects of actual or threatened armed conflicts or terrorist attacks, efforts to combat terrorism, military action against any foreign state, heightened security requirements or other related events and the subsequent effects on the economy or on consumer confidence in the United States, or the impact, if any, on our future results of operations.
