Transportation segment revenues were $34,107,000 in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of $1,672,000 over the same quarter last year. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile was the same quarter-over-quarter primarily reflecting a trend in the Company's flatbed operation of decreasing freight demand and corresponding pricing softness from the housing downturn and attendant lower demand for construction materials. Revenue miles in the current quarter were up 5.8% compared to the third quarter of 2006 primarily from improved driver manning and higher tractor count.
