“While this is the highest quarterly revenue on record for the company, our results continued to suffer from a soft freight market, which resulted in a year-over-year decrease in net income,” said Robert W. Weaver, president of the Tontitown, Ark.-based company. “In the current freight market characterized by excess capacity, our primary challenge is to improve freight rates to more fairly compensate us for our services.”
