We operate in a highly regulated and highly taxed industry, and costs of compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, and costs of compliance with, or liabilities for violations of, existing or future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our business will suffer if we are unable to adequately address potential downward pricing pressures and other factors that may adversely affect our operations and profitability. The transportation industry is affected by business risks that are largely out of our control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations. We are a holding company without material assets other than the common stock of our subsidiaries. We have significant ongoing cash requirements that could limit our growth and affect profitability if we are unable to obtain sufficient financing. Ongoing insurance and claims expenses could significantly reduce and cause volatility to our earnings. Employees of SCST s operating subsidiaries, Saia and Jevic, are non-union. The ability of either Saia or Jevic to compete would be substantially impaired if either subsidiary s operations were to become unionized.
