Our business is subject to general economic and business factors that are largely out of our control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We operate in a competitive and somewhat fragmented industry. Numerous factors could impair our ability to maintain our current profitability and to compete with other carriers and private fleets. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a few major customers, the loss of one or more of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. We depend on third parties in the operation of our business. Difficulty in attracting and retaining drivers could affect our profitability and ability to grow. Ongoing insurance and claims expenses could significantly reduce our earnings. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has proposed to disallow the tax benefits associated with certain sale-and-leaseback transactions. Our operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations, the violation of which could result in substantial fines or penalties. We operate in a regulated industry, and increased direct and indirect costs of compliance with, or liability for violation of, existing or future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. Rapid changes in fuel costs could impact our periodic financial results.
