Loss of qualified drivers or other personnel could limit our growth and negatively affect operations. Loss of affiliates and owner-operators could adversely affect our operations and profitability. Existing trucking regulations are costly and burdensome and new trucking regulations may increase costs. Increased unionization could increase our operating costs or constrain operating flexibility. Our operations involve hazardous materials, which could create environmental liabilities. Our substantial leverage and restrictions contained in our debt agreements, including our credit facility and our indentures, could hamper our operations.
