1.	Basis of Presentation

Forward Air Corporation's (“the Company”) services can be classified into two principal reporting segments: Forward Air, Inc. (“Forward Air”) and Forward Air Solutions, Inc. (“FASI”).

Through the Forward Air segment, the Company is a leading provider of time-definite transportation and related logistics services to the North American deferred air freight market and its activities can be classified into three categories of service: airport-to-airport; logistics; and other. Forward Air’s airport-to-airport service operates a comprehensive national network for the time-definite surface transportation of deferred air freight. The airport-to-airport service offers customers local pick-up and delivery and scheduled surface transportation of cargo as a cost effective, reliable alternative to air transportation. Forward Air’s logistics services provide expedited truckload brokerage and dedicated fleet services. Forward Air’s other services include shipment consolidation and deconsolidation, warehousing, customs brokerage, and other handling. The Forward Air segment primarily provides its transportation services through a network of terminals located at or near airports in the United States and Canada.

FASI provides pool distribution services throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest and Southwest continental United States. Pool distribution involves managing high-frequency handling and distribution of time-sensitive product to numerous destinations in specific geographic regions. FASI’s primary customers for this service are regional and nationwide distributors and retailers, such as mall, strip mall and outlet based retail chains.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company’s operating results are subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis, therefore operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Forward Air Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include Forward Air Corporation and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The expanded disclosures will require a greater level of disaggregated information and additional disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. The amendment will require expanded disclosures on transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair values, activity in Level 3 investments and inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosure requirements and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements involving activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment required in the first interim period after December 15, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures. In addition, the adoption of the provisions of this amendment required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

The Company adopted the FASB’s new guidance regarding subsequent events in the second quarter of 2009. The FASB’s new guidance establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of the new subsequent event guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In June 2009, the FASB amended rules regarding the transfer and servicing of financial assets and the extinguishment of financial assets. The amended guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”); clarifies and amends the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; amends and clarifies the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and requires that a transferor initially be measured at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date of the amended guidance, existing QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The amended guidance requires enhanced disclosures about, among other things, a transferor’s continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of financial position. The Company adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2010, and this adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB amended its rules regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). The FASB also amended the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FASB rules required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. QSPEs, which were previously exempt from the application of rules regarding VIE, will be subject to the provisions of these new rules when they become effective. The amended guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. The Company adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2010, and this adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3.	Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income or loss includes any changes in the equity of the Company from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $7,912 and $2,844, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $11,331 and $(261), respectively. In each case, the comprehensive results approximated net income (loss).

4.	Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

The Company conducts an annual (or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment) impairment test of goodwill for each reportable segment at June 30 of each year. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is the estimation of the reportable segment’s fair value. If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the calculated implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. Changes in strategy or market conditions could significantly impact these fair value estimates and require adjustments to recorded asset balances.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company determined there were indicators of potential impairment of the goodwill assigned to the FASI segment. This determination was based on the continuing economic recession, declines in current market valuations and FASI operating losses in excess of expectations. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test. Based on the results of the interim impairment test, the Company concluded that an impairment loss was probable and could be reasonably estimated. Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $6,953 related to the FASI segment during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company finalized certain valuations related to the March 31, 2009 goodwill impairment calculations during the second quarter of 2009, which did not result in any adjustments to the impairment recorded at March 31, 2009.

The Company conducted its annual impairment test of goodwill for each reportable segment as of June 30, 2010 and no impairment charges were required. For the March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 goodwill impairment calculations, the Company calculated the fair value of the applicable reportable segments, using a combination of discounted projected cash flows and market valuations for comparable companies as of the valuation date. The Company's fair value calculations for goodwill are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“the FASB Codification”).

4.	Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets (continued)

As of June 30, 2010, the carrying value of goodwill related to the Forward Air and FASI segments was $37,926 and $5,406, respectively. Earnings estimated to be generated by the Forward Air segment are expected to continue supporting the carrying value of its goodwill. The FASI segment is currently facing the challenges of building and expanding a business during difficult economic times. If these overall economic conditions worsen or continue for an extended period of time, the Company may be required to record an additional impairment charge against the carrying value of goodwill related to the FASI segment. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Additionally, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized on assets classified as held and used when the sum of undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. If such measurement indicates a possible impairment, the estimated fair value of the asset is compared to its net book value to measure the impairment charge, if any. During 2009 an impairment charge of $204 was incurred in the Forward Air segment to write off the net book value of certain truckload and cargo handling customer relationships purchased during 2007. These impairment charges were recorded as the related customer relationships and services were discontinued during the first quarter of 2009.

5.	Share-Based Payments

The Company’s general practice has been to make a single annual grant of non-vested shares of common stock (“non-vested shares”) or stock options to key employees and to make other employee grants only in connection with new employment or promotions. The Company also typically makes a single annual grant of non-vested shares to non-employee directors in conjunction with the annual election of non-employee directors to the Board of Directors.

During 2006, the Company issued non-vested shares to key employees as the form of share-based awards. However, beginning in 2007, the Company elected to issue stock options to key employees. Stock option grants to employees typically expire seven years from the grant date and vest ratably over a three-year period. Grants of non-vested shares to non-employee directors vest ratably over the elected term to the Board of Directors, or one year. Share-based compensation for grants of non-vested shares and stock options is based on the grant date fair value of the instrument and is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, ratably over the requisite service period, or vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures based upon historical experience. All share-based compensation expense is recognized in salaries, wages and employee benefits.

Employee Activity

The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the grant-date fair value of options granted. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $8.24 and $7.96, respectively. No stock options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The fair values were estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six months ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2010		2009
Expected dividend yield	1.3	%	0.9	%
Expected stock price volatility	45.7	%	42.3	%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	2.5	%	2.0	%
Expected life of options (years)	4.5		4.5

During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, share-based compensation expense for options granted to employees was $1,459 and $1,437, respectively. The total tax benefit related to the share-based expense for these options for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was $372 and $409, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, share-based compensation expense for options granted to employees was $3,083 and $2,826 respectively. The total tax benefit related to the share-based expense for these options for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was $862 and $800, respectively. Total compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the options not yet recognized in earnings was $5,317 at June 30, 2010. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

Share-based compensation expense was $25 and $244 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, for non-vested shares granted to employees during 2006. The total tax benefit related to this share-based expense was $10 and $102 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, all shares granted to employees had vested or been forfeited.

Under the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which has been approved by shareholders, the Company is authorized to issue up to a remaining 443,259 shares of common stock to employees of the Company. These shares may be issued at a price equal to 90% of the lesser of the market value on the first day or the last day of each six-month purchase period. Common stock purchases are paid for through periodic payroll deductions and/or up to two large lump sum contributions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, participants under the plan purchased 3,973 shares at an average price of $22.98 per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, participants under the plan purchased 5,148 shares at an average price of $19.19 per share. The weighted-average fair value of each purchase right under the ESPP granted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which is equal to the discount from the market value of the common stock at the end of each six month purchase period, was $4.27 per share. The weighted-average fair value of each purchase right under the ESPP granted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, which is equal to the discount from the market value of the common stock at the end of each six month purchase period, was $2.13 per share. Share-based compensation expense of $17 and $11 was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Non-employee Director Activity

Share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $142 and $162, respectively, for non-vested shares granted to non-employee directors. The total tax benefit related to this share-based expense was $57 and $67 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Share-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $281 and $334, respectively, for non-vested shares granted to non-employee directors. The total tax benefit related to this share-based expense was $113 and $139 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested shares granted to non-employee directors not yet recognized

in earnings was $484 at June 30, 2010. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

In addition to the above activity, each May from 1995 to 2005 options were granted to the non-employee directors of the Company. The options have terms of ten years and are fully exercisable. At June 30, 2010, 74,375 options were outstanding and will expire between July 2010 and May 2015. At June 30, 2010, the weighted average exercise price per share and remaining contractual term were $22 and 2.6 years, respectively.

6.	Senior Credit Facility

On October 10, 2007, the Company entered into a $100,000 senior credit facility. This facility has a term of five years and includes an

accordion feature, which allows for an additional $50,000 in borrowings. However, at this time the Company believes that to access the accordion feature the Company’s lender would require that the interest rates for the senior credit facility be reset to match current market rates. The senior credit facility matures on October 10, 2012. The Company entered into this larger credit facility in order to fund potential acquisitions, the repurchase of its common stock, and for financing other general business purposes. Interest rates for advances under the facility are at LIBOR plus 0.6% to 0.9% based upon covenants related to total indebtedness to earnings (0.9% at June 30, 2010). The agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, none of which are expected to significantly affect the Company’s operations or ability to pay dividends. No assets are pledged as collateral against the senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $50,000 outstanding under the senior credit facility. At June 30, 2010, the Company had utilized $11,804 of availability for outstanding letters of credit and had $38,196 of available borrowing capacity outstanding under the senior credit facility.

7.	Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted income (loss) per share - net income (loss)	$	7,912	$	2,844	$	11,331	$	(261	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic income (loss) per share - weighted-average shares		28,973		28,927		28,962		28,916
Effect of dilutive stock options and non-vested shares		146		50		131		--
Denominator for diluted income (loss) per share - adjusted weighted-average shares		29,119		28,977		29,093		28,916
Basic income (loss) per share	$	0.27	$	0.10	$	0.39	$	(0.01	)
Diluted income (loss) per share	$	0.27	$	0.10	$	0.39	$	(0.01	)

The number of options and non-vested shares that could potentially dilute net earnings per share in the future, but that were not included in the computation of income (loss) per diluted share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, were approximately 2,659,000 and 2,871,000 at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

8.	Income Taxes

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and Canada. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or Canadian examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004.

Forward Air Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

8.	Income Taxes (continued)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company increased its reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and related interest by approximately $83 and $192, respectively. The increase was related to recent state audit findings that indicated the probable settlement of certain issues could be higher than originally estimated.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the effective income tax rates varied from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35.0%, primarily as a result of the effect of state income taxes, net of the federal benefit and permanent differences between book and tax net income.

9.	Financial Instruments

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company does not generally require collateral from its customers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable on a consolidated basis are limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many different industries. However, while not significant to the Company on a consolidated basis, three customers accounted for approximately 50.8% of FASI’s 2009 operating revenue.

In February 2010, the Company notified one of FASI’s largest customers that it would cease providing services and conclude the business relationship by July 2, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, revenues from this customer were 15.4% of FASI’s operating revenue and 2.3% of the Company’s consolidated operating revenue. The revenue associated with this customer was low yielding and the projected impact on 2010 operating results from curtailing these services is projected to be minimal. Receivables from this customer were approximately $629 at June 30, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Accounts receivable and accounts payable: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature.

The Company’s senior credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.6% to 0.9% based upon covenants related to total indebtedness to earnings. However, based on the adverse economic conditions experienced throughout 2009, the Company believes its borrowing rate to be favorable to current market rates. Using interest rate quotes and discounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of its senior credit facility and debt and capital lease obligations as follows:

	June 30, 2010
	Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value
Senior credit facility	$	50,000	$	48,005
Debt and capital leases		2,598		2,738

The Company's fair value calculations for the above financial instruments are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in the FASB Codification.

10.	Shareholders' Equity

During the first and second quarters of 2010 and 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock. The Company expects to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, though each subsequent quarterly dividend is subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors.

Forward Air Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

11.	Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is party to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to and arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that any of these pending actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

The primary claims in the Company’s business relate to workers’ compensation, property damage, vehicle liability and medical benefits. Most of the Company’s insurance coverage provides for self-insurance levels with primary and excess coverage which management believes is sufficient to adequately protect the Company from catastrophic claims. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for all incurred claims up to the self-insured limits, including provision for estimated claims incurred but not reported.

The Company estimates its self-insurance loss exposure by evaluating the merits and circumstances surrounding individual known claims and by performing hindsight and actuarial analysis to determine an estimate of probable losses on claims incurred but not reported. Such losses could be realized immediately as the events underlying the claims have already occurred as of the balance sheet dates.

Because of the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of outstanding claims, as well as uncertainty regarding claims incurred but not reported, it is possible that management’s provision for these losses could change materially in the near term. However, no estimate can currently be made of the range of additional loss that is at least reasonably possible.

12.	Segment Reporting

The Company operates in two reportable segments, based on differences in services provided. Forward Air provides time-definite transportation and logistics services to the deferred air freight market. FASI provides pool distribution services primarily to regional and national distributors and retailers.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Segment data includes intersegment revenues. Assets and costs of the corporate headquarters are allocated to the segments based on usage. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on net income (loss). The Company’s business is conducted principally in the U.S. and Canada.

The following tables summarize segment information about net income (loss) and assets used by the chief operating decision maker of the Company in making decisions regarding allocation of assets and resources as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview and Executive Summary

Our operations can be broadly classified into two principal segments: Forward Air, Inc. (“Forward Air”) and Forward Air Solutions, Inc. (“FASI”).

Through our Forward Air segment, we are a leading provider of time-definite surface transportation and related logistics services to the North American deferred air freight market. We offer our customers local pick-up and delivery (Forward Air Complete™) and scheduled surface transportation of cargo as a cost-effective, reliable alternative to air transportation. We transport cargo that must be delivered at a specific time, but is less time-sensitive than traditional air freight. This type of cargo is frequently referred to in the transportation industry as deferred air freight. We operate our Forward Air segment through a network of terminals located on or near airports in 84 cities in the United States and Canada, including a central sorting facility in Columbus, Ohio and 12 regional hubs serving key markets. We also offer our customers an array of logistics and other services including: expedited truckload brokerage (“TLX”); dedicated fleets; warehousing; customs brokerage; and shipment consolidation, deconsolidation and handling.

FASI provides pool distribution services throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest and Southwest continental United States. Pool distribution involves managing high-frequency handling and distribution of time-sensitive product to numerous destinations in specific geographic regions. Our primary customers for this service are regional and nationwide distributors and retailers, such as mall, strip mall and outlet based retail chains. We service these customers through a network of terminals and service centers located in 19 cities.

Our operations, particularly our network of hubs and terminals, represent substantial fixed costs. Consequently, our ability to increase our earnings depends in significant part on our ability to increase the amount of freight and the revenue per pound for the freight shipped through our networks and to grow other lines of businesses, such as TLX, which will allow us to maintain revenue growth in challenging shipping environments.

Trends and Developments

Results from Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we experienced notable increases of 22.5% and 16.7%, respectively, in our consolidated revenues compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenue is largely attributable to our Forward Air segment which experienced revenue increases of 26.8% and 18.7% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Forward Air revenue increases were driven by the continued improvement of general economic conditions compared to the same periods in 2009 and a general rate increase initiated on May 1, 2010.

FASI revenue increased 1.2% and 6.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. FASI revenue growth as compared to prior periods was not as significant as new business wins were offset by FASI customer losses. While the customer losses adversely impacted revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and may continue to mitigate FASI’s revenue growth for the remainder of 2010, the lost revenue was low yielding and the anticipated impact on operating results from curtailing these services is projected to be minimal. FASI’s loss from operations is largely attributable to depressed retail volumes as FASI’s retail customers have yet to benefit from any economic improvement.

Throughout 2009 declining fuel prices adversely affected our revenues and results of operations as compared to prior periods. However, in 2010 fuel prices have increased significantly over the same period in 2009. Our net fuel surcharge revenue is the result of our fuel surcharge rates, which are set weekly using the national average for diesel price per gallon, and the tonnage transiting our network. The increase in shipping activity combined with the increasing diesel fuel prices have resulted in an increase in our net fuel surcharge revenue. Total net fuel surcharge revenue increased 105.5% and 81.6% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, respectively.

Goodwill

During the first quarter of 2009, we determined there were indicators of potential impairment of the goodwill assigned to the FASI segment. This determination was based on the economic recession experienced in 2009 and the resulting declines in market valuations and FASI operating losses in excess of expectations. As a result, we performed an interim impairment test. We calculated the fair value of the FASI segment, using a combination of discounted cash flows and current market valuations for comparable companies. Based on the results of the interim impairment test, we concluded that an impairment loss was probable and could be reasonably estimated. Consequently, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $7.0 million related to the FASI segment during the first quarter of 2009.

In accordance with our accounting policy, we conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill for each reportable segment as of June 30, 2010 and no impairment charges were required.

As of June 30, 2010, the carrying value of goodwill related to our Forward Air and FASI segments was $37.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Earnings estimated to be generated related to our Forward Air segment are expected to continue supporting the carrying value of its goodwill. Our FASI segment continues to face the challenges of building and expanding a business during difficult economic times. If these overall economic conditions worsen or continue for an extended period of time, we may be required to record an additional impairment charge against the carrying value of goodwill related to our FASI segment.

Segments

Our operations can be broadly classified into two principal segments: Forward Air and FASI.

Our Forward Air segment includes our airport-to-airport network, Forward Air Complete, and TLX services as well as our other accessorial related services such as warehousing; customs brokerage; and value-added handling services.

Our FASI segment includes our pool distribution business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Operating revenue increased by $22.4 million, or 22.5%, to $122.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $99.7 million in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Forward Air operating revenue increased $22.3 million, or 26.8%, to $105.6 million from $83.3 million, accounting for 86.5% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 83.6% for the same period in 2009. Airport-to-airport revenue, which is the largest component of our consolidated operating revenue, increased $16.5 million, or 25.3%, to $81.8 million from $65.3 million, accounting for 77.5% of the segment’s operating revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 78.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Increased tonnage and an increase in our base revenue per pound, excluding net fuel surcharge revenue and Forward Air Complete (“Complete”) revenue, accounted for $11.9 million of the increase in airport-to-airport revenue. Our airport-to-airport business is priced on a per pound basis and the average revenue per pound, excluding the impact of fuel surcharges and Complete, increased 2.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 versus the three months ended June 30, 2009. Tonnage that transited our network increased by 18.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in tonnage was primarily driven by the improved economic conditions during 2010 and the resulting increase in shipping activity. Average base revenue per pound increased as a result of a general rate increase that we implemented on May 1, 2010. The remaining increase in airport-to-airport revenue is the result of increased net fuel surcharge revenue and revenue from our Complete pick-up and delivery service. Net fuel surcharge revenue increased $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 in response to increased fuel prices and overall business volumes. In addition, Complete revenue increased $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The increase in Complete revenue is attributable to an increased attachment rate of the Complete service to our standard airport-to-airport service and the overall improvement in tonnage volumes during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Logistics revenue, which is primarily TLX, increased $5.1 million, or 41.5%, to $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $12.3 million in the same period of 2009. TLX revenue, which is priced on a per mile basis, increased $4.5 million as miles driven to support our TLX revenue increased by approximately 29.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Also, TLX average revenue per mile increased approximately 8.2%. The increase in average revenue per mile is mainly attributable to increased fuel surcharges as a result of increased fuel prices and increased yield per mile as the increase in shipping activity has resulted in decreased available truckload capacity and reduced truckload price competition. The remaining increase in logistics revenue was primarily driven by a $0.6 million increase in other non-mileage based logistic revenues, such as drayage services, which increased in conjunction with the overall increase in TLX business volumes.

Other revenue, which includes warehousing services and terminal handling, accounted for the final component of Forward Air operating revenue. Other revenue increased $0.7 million, or 12.3%, to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $5.7 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increases in handling and sorting services provided in conjunction with the increase in our airport-to-airport business.

FASI

FASI operating revenue increased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $16.7 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in revenue is the result of various 2009 and 2010 business wins for which service began at various times throughout 2009 and the first half of 2010. These increases were offset by reductions in revenue primarily associated with FASI customer losses and to a lesser extent depressed sales volumes from existing customers. Our pool distribution business is primarily priced on a per carton or box basis. With this change in customers, resulting in an overall shift in business mix, volumes decreased over 6.0% while our yield per carton improved almost 8.0%.

Intercompany Eliminations

Intercompany eliminations increased $0.1 million, or 33.3%, to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $0.3 million in the same period of 2009. The intercompany eliminations are the result of truckload and airport-to-airport services Forward Air provided to FASI during the three months ended June 30, 2010. FASI also provided cartage services to Forward Air. The increase in intercompany eliminations was the result of increased TLX truckload services provided to FASI.

Purchased Transportation

Purchased transportation increased by $8.7 million, or 20.7%, to $50.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $42.0 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of total operating revenue, purchased transportation was 41.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 42.2% for the same period in 2009.

Forward Air

Forward Air’s purchased transportation increased by $8.6 million, or 22.2%, to $47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in purchased transportation is primarily attributable to an 18.1% increase in miles driven and a 3.4% increase in the total cost per mile for the second quarter of 2010 versus the same period in 2009. As a percentage of segment operating revenue, Forward Air purchased transportation was 44.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 46.5% for the same period in 2009.

Purchased transportation costs for our airport-to-airport network increased $4.7 million, or 16.8%, to $32.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, purchased transportation for our airport-to-airport network decreased to 39.9% of airport-to-airport revenue from 42.7% for the same period in 2009. The $4.7 million increase is mostly attributable to a 14.0% increase in miles driven by our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers and a 2.3% increase in the cost per mile paid to our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers. The increase in miles increased purchased transportation by $3.3 million while the increase in cost per mile increased purchased transportation by $0.6 million. Miles driven by our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers increased in conjunction with the tonnage increase discussed above. The cost per mile increase was attributable to increased use of more costly third party transportation providers as additional capacity was required due to the increased tonnage volumes. The remaining increase was attributable to a $0.8 million increase in third party transportation costs associated with the increased customer utilization of Complete discussed above.

Purchased transportation costs for our logistics revenue increased $3.6 million, or 37.9%, to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, logistics’ purchased transportation costs represented 75.3% of logistics revenue versus 77.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in logistics’ purchased transportation was attributable to a $3.3 million, or 37.8% increase in TLX purchased transportation. Miles driven to support our TLX revenue increased 29.6% while our TLX cost per mile increased approximately 6.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in cost per mile was mostly attributable to the increased utilization of our more costly third party transportation providers as opposed to our network of owner-operators. The remaining $0.3 million increase in logistics’ purchased transportation costs was attributable to increases in other non-mileage based costs such as drayage services.

Purchased transportation costs related to our other revenue increased $0.3 million, or 23.1%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Other purchased transportation costs as a percentage of other revenue increased to 25.0% of other revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 22.8% for the same period in 2009. The increase in other purchased transportation costs as a percentage of other revenue is attributable to the increased use of more costly third party transportation providers, as opposed to Company-employed drivers or our network of owner-operators, to provide the transportation services associated with our other revenues, such as freight and container transfers and other miscellaneous pick-up and delivery services.

FASI

FASI purchased transportation increased $0.2 million, or 5.6%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. FASI purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue was 22.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 21.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in FASI purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue is attributable to our efforts to shift FASI to a more variable cost model by increasing the use of owner-operators as opposed to Company-employed drivers.

Intercompany Eliminations

Salaries, Wages, and Benefits

Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased by $3.9 million, or 13.4%, to $33.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $29.2 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of total operating revenue, salaries, wages and employee benefits was 27.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 29.3% for the same period in 2009.

Forward Air

Salaries, wages and employee benefits of Forward Air increased by $4.3 million, or 20.4%, to $25.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $21.1 million in the same period of 2009. Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 24.0% of Forward Air’s operating revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 25.3% for the same period of 2009 . The $4.3 million increase in salaries, wages, and benefits is driven by increased accruals for employee incentive, loss development reserves for workers’ compensation claims, health insurance claims and increased variable wages. Employee incentives increased $2.1 million on achievement of quarterly performance goals and progress towards annual senior executive goals for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Workers’ compensation claims increased $0.1 million on increases in loss development reserves associated with prior period claims. Health insurance claims increased $0.4 million primarily as a result of a small number of individually large medical claims that reached our self-insured limits. The remaining $1.7 million increase is associated with increased variable wages, primarily dock employees, which increased in conjunction with the increased business volumes discussed above.

FASI

FASI salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased $0.4 million, or 4.9%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of FASI operating revenue, salaries, wages and benefits decreased to 45.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 48.5% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of revenue is the result of reduced dock wages, Company-employed driver pay, and administrative salaries. During the second quarter of 2010 we reduced our dock wages by 2.0% as a percentage of revenue compared to the same period in 2009. The improvement in dock wages is largely the result of efficiencies gained by installing conveyor systems in our larger facilities and replacing contract labor with Company-employed dock personnel. We also reduced driver pay by 1.8% as a percentage of revenue as wherever feasible we continue to shift away from Company-employed drivers to a more variable cost structure via a network of owner-operators. To further reduce FASI’s fixed cost structure, at the end of the second quarter of 2009, we reduced administrative headcount and as a result we reduced administrative pay during the second quarter of 2010 by 1.1% as a percentage of revenue compared to the second quarter of 2009. In addition, workers’ compensation claims decreased 1.0% as a percentage of revenue mainly due to the second quarter of 2009 including a larger increase to FASI’s loss development reserves than the second quarter of 2010 resulting from an actuarial analysis of our workers’ compensation claims.

Offsetting these improvements in FASI salaries, wages and benefits were increases in health insurance claims and share-based compensation. Health insurance claims increased almost $0.5 million, or 2.7% as a percentage of revenue, resulting from a small number of individually large medical claims that reached our self-insured limits. Also, share-based compensation increased 0.2% as a percentage of revenue due to share-based awards granted to key FASI employees during the first quarter of 2010.

Operating Leases

Operating leases decreased by $0.5 million, or 7.4%, to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $6.8 million in the same period of 2009. Operating leases, the largest component of which is facility rent, were 5.2% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 6.8% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Operating leases decreased $0.3 million, or 6.4%, to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $4.7 million in the same period of 2009. Operating leases were 4.2% of Forward Air operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 5.6% in the same period of 2009. Our new regional hub in Dallas/Fort Worth was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2009. In conjunction with the opening of this facility we were able to move out of the previously leased facilities and reduce operating lease expense by approximately $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

FASI

FASI operating lease expense decreased $0.2 million, or 9.5%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.1 million for the same period in 2009. Approximately $0.1 million of the decrease was attributable to lower facility rent due to the consolidation of duplicate facilities after our 2008 acquisitions. The remaining $0.1 million decrease is the result of reduced vehicle lease expense as we turn in leased or rented vehicles assumed in conjunction with our 2008 acquisitions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million, or 6.3%, to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $4.8 million in the same period of 2009. Depreciation and amortization was 4.2% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 4.8% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, or 5.1%, to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $3.9 million in the same period of 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of Forward Air operating revenue was 3.9% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 4.7% in the same period of 2009. Approximately $0.1 million of the increase in depreciation is attributable to increased depreciation related to the completion of the Company-owned Dallas/Fort Worth regional hub at the beginning of the third quarter of 2009. The remaining $0.1 million increase is primarily due to various leasehold improvements to existing facilities.

FASI

FASI depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 11.1%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.9 million for the same period in 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of FASI operating revenue was 5.9% in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 5.4% in the same period of 2009. The $0.1 million increase is attributable to an allocation of depreciation expense for FASI’s proportionate usage of the Dallas/Fort Worth regional hub.

Insurance and Claims

Insurance and claims expense decreased $0.1 million, or 4.5%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Insurance and claims were 1.7% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 2.2% for the same period in 2009.

Forward Air

The $0.1 million, or 5.9%, decrease in insurance and claims for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 is mainly attributable to the second quarter of 2010 including a $0.2 million reduction in our vehicle loss development reserves based on a mid-year actuarial analysis of our vehicle claims. The $0.2 million reduction was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in legal fees associated with vehicle accident and cargo claims for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

FASI

FASI insurance and claims was $0.5 million and 3.0% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Fuel Expense

Fuel expense increased $0.4 million, or 25.0%, to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $1.6 million in the same period of 2009. Fuel expense was 1.6% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Forward Air

Fuel expense was 0.9% of Forward Air operating revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 0.8% in the same period of 2009. The $0.2 million, or 28.6%, increase was primarily due to a significant increase in average fuel prices during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

FASI

FASI fuel expense increased $0.2 million, or 22.2%, to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $0.9 million in the same period of 2009. Fuel expenses were 6.5% of FASI operating revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 5.4% in the second quarter of 2009. FASI fuel expense is significantly higher as a percentage of operating revenue than Forward Air’s fuel expense, as FASI utilizes a higher ratio of Company-employed drivers and Company-owned or leased vehicles in its operations than Forward Air. The increase in FASI fuel expense was attributable to the increase in average fuel prices net of reductions in Company-employed drivers during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses increased $1.1 million, or 13.4%, to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $8.2 million in the same period of 2009. Other operating expenses were 7.6% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 8.2% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Other operating expenses increased $1.0 million, or 14.9%, to $7.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $6.7 million in the same period of 2009. Other operating expenses were 7.3% of Forward Air operating revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 8.1% in the same period of 2009. The increase in other operating expenses in total dollars was attributable to increases in variable costs, such as dock supplies, vehicle maintenance and tolls, as a result of the increased business volumes discussed previously. Forward Air other operating expenses decreased as percentage of revenue as these variable cost increases were outpaced by the increase in revenue.

FASI

FASI other operating expenses increased $0.1 million, or 6.7%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2009. FASI other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were 9.5% of the segment’s operating revenue compared to 9.0% for the same period in 2009. The $0.1 million increase is attributable to the operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 including the benefit of a $0.1 million reduction to FASI’s bad debt reserves. A similar reduction did not take place in the second quarter of 2010.

Results from Operations

Income from operations increased by $8.6 million to $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $4.9 million in the same period of 2009. Income from operations was 11.1% of consolidated operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 4.9% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Income from operations increased by $8.4 million to $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared with $5.8 million for the same period in 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of Forward Air operating revenue was 13.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 7.0% in the same period of 2009. The increase in income from operations was primarily the result of the increased revenue discussed previously and the resulting positive leverage the additional revenue provides against the fixed costs of the Forward Air network.

FASI

FASI’s loss from operations decreased approximately $0.2 million, or 22.2%, to a $0.7 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from a $0.9 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 . The decrease in FASI’s loss from operations was primarily driven by the operating efficiencies reflected in the decreases to salaries, wages and benefits and the net reduction of fixed costs between operating leases and depreciation and amortization. These improvements were offset by increased fuel prices and health insurance claims.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Interest rates and our net borrowings remained consistent during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Other, Net

Other, net was expense of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Income Taxes

The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 40.5% compared to a rate of 40.0% for the same period in 2009. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a $0.1 million increase in reserves for certain state income tax contingencies.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $5.1 million, to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2009.

Six months Ended June 30, 2010 compared to Six months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenues

Operating revenue increased by $32.8 million, or 16.7%, to $229.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $196.3 million in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Forward Air operating revenue increased $31.0 million, or 18.7%, to $196.5 million from $165.5 million, accounting for 85.8% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 84.3% for the same period in 2009. Airport-to-airport revenue, which is the largest component of our consolidated operating revenue, increased $24.4 million, or 19.0%, to $152.9 million from $128.5 million, accounting for 77.8% of the segment’s operating revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 77.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Increased tonnage net of a decrease in our base revenue per pound, excluding net fuel surcharge revenue and Forward Air Complete (“Complete”) revenue, accounted for $16.0 million of the increase in airport-to-airport revenue. Our airport-to-airport business is priced on a per pound basis and the average revenue per pound, excluding the impact of fuel surcharges and Complete, decreased 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the six months ended June 30, 2009. Tonnage that transited our network increased by 15.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in tonnage was primarily driven by the improved economic conditions during 2010 and the resulting increase in shipping activity. Average base revenue per pound decreased primarily as a result of the increased pricing competition experienced during the second half of 2009, which was driven by the economic recession experienced throughout 2009. However, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 the pricing erosion from the recession was partially mitigated by the general rate increase we implemented on May 1, 2010. The remaining increase in airport-to-airport revenue is the result of increased net fuel surcharge revenue and increased revenue from our Complete pick-up and delivery service. Net fuel surcharge revenue increased $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 in response to increased fuel prices and overall business volumes. In addition, Complete revenue increased $4.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The increase in Complete revenue is attributable to an increased attachment rate of the Complete service to our standard airport-to-airport service and the overall improvement in tonnage volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Logistics revenue, which is primarily TLX, increased $5.7 million, or 22.3%, to $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. TLX revenue, which is priced on a per mile basis, increased $5.3 million and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. TLX revenue increase was primarily the result of a 17.4% increase in miles driven to support our TLX revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. TLX average revenue per mile also increased approximately 4.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Similar to our airport-to-airport service, TLX miles increased in conjunction with the improving economy and the resulting increase in shipping activity. The increase in average revenue per mile is mainly attributable to increased fuel surcharges as a result of increased fuel prices during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The remaining $0.4 million increase in logistics revenue was attributable to increases in other non-mileage based logistic revenues. The increase in non-mileage based services was in conjunction with the improvement in TLX business volumes.

Other revenue, which includes warehousing services and terminal handling, accounts for the final component of Forward Air operating revenue. Other revenue increased $0.9 million, or 7.9%, to $12.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $11.4 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increases in handling and sorting services provided in conjunction with the increase in our airport-to-airport business.

FASI

FASI operating revenue increased $1.9 million, or 6.1%, to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $31.4 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in revenue is the result of various 2009 and 2010 business wins for which service began at various times throughout 2009 and the first half of 2010. These increases were partially mitigated by FASI customer losses.

Intercompany Eliminations

Intercompany eliminations increased $0.1 million, or 16.7%, to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The intercompany eliminations are the result of truckload and airport-to-airport services Forward Air provided to FASI during the six months ended June 30, 2010. FASI also provided cartage services to Forward Air. The increase in intercompany eliminations was the result of increased TLX truckload services provided to FASI.

Purchased Transportation

Purchased transportation increased by $13.1 million, or 16.0%, to $95.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $82.1 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of total operating revenue, purchased transportation was 41.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 41.8% for the same period in 2009.

Forward Air

Forward Air’s purchased transportation increased by $12.1 million, or 15.9%, to $88.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $76.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in purchased transportation is primarily attributable to a 12.4% increase in miles and a 3.1% increase in the total cost per mile for the six months ended June 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009. As a percentage of segment operating revenue, Forward Air purchased transportation was 44.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 46.1% for the same period in 2009.

Purchased transportation costs for our airport-to-airport network increased $7.3 million, or 13.5%, to $61.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $54.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, purchased transportation for our airport-to-airport network decreased to 40.2% of airport-to-airport revenue from 42.1% for the same period in 2009. The increase in airport-to-airport purchased transportation was attributable to a 10.5% increase in miles driven by our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers and a 0.8% increase in the cost per mile paid to our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers. The increase in miles increased purchased transportation by $4.9 million while the increase in cost per mile increased purchased transportation by $0.4 million. Miles driven by our network of owner-operators or third party transportation providers increased in conjunction with the tonnage increase discussed above. The 0.8% increase in airport-to-airport cost per mile was the result of increased utilization of more costly third party transportation providers as opposed to our network of owner-operators. In addition to these changes, airport-to-airport purchased transportation increased $2.0 million for third party transportation costs associated with the increased customer utilization of Complete.

Purchased transportation costs for our logistics revenue increased $4.0 million, or 20.2%, to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, logistics’ purchased transportation costs represented 76.0% of logistics revenue versus 77.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in logistics’ purchased transportation was attributable to a $3.9 million, or 21.4% increase in TLX purchased transportation. Miles driven to support our TLX revenue increased 17.4% and our cost per mile increased approximately 3.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in cost per mile was mostly attributable to the increased utilization of our more costly third party transportation providers as opposed to our network of owner-operators. Other non-mileage based logistics' purchased transportation costs increased $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Purchased transportation costs related to our other revenue increased $0.8 million, or 34.8%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Other purchased transportation costs as a percentage of other revenue increased to 25.2% of other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 20.2% for the same period in 2009. The increase in other purchased transportation costs as a percentage of other revenue is attributable to the increased use of more costly third party transportation providers, as opposed to Company-employed drivers or our network of owner-operators, to provide the transportation services associated with our other revenues, such as freight and container transfers and other miscellaneous pick-up and delivery services.

FASI

FASI purchased transportation costs increased $1.1 million, or 17.2%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. FASI purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue was 22.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 20.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in FASI purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue is attributable to our efforts to shift FASI to a more variable cost model by increasing the use of owner-operators as opposed to Company-employed drivers.

Intercompany Eliminations

Intercompany eliminations increased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The intercompany eliminations are the result of truckload and airport-to-airport services Forward Air provided to FASI during the six months ended June 30, 2010. FASI also provided cartage services to Forward Air. The increase in intercompany eliminations was the result of increased TLX truckload services provided to FASI.

Salaries, Wages, and Benefits

Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased by $5.6 million, or 9.6%, to $63.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total operating revenue, salaries, wages and employee benefits was 27.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 29.7% for the same period in 2009.

Forward Air

Salaries, wages and employee benefits of Forward Air increased by $6.2 million, or 14.6%, to $48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $42.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 24.8% of Forward Air’s operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 25.7% for the same period of 2009 . The $6.2 million increase in salaries, wages, and benefits is driven by increases in employee incentives, loss development reserves associated with workers’ compensation claims, health insurance claims and variable wages. Employee incentives increased $3.3 million on achievement of quarterly performance goals and progress towards annual senior executive goals for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Workers’ compensation claims increased $0.7 million on increases in loss development reserves associated with prior period claims. Health insurance claims increased $0.6 million primarily as a result of a small number of individually large medical claims that reached our self-insured limits. The remaining $1.6 million increase is associated with increased variable wages, primarily dock employees, which increased in conjunction with the increased business volumes discussed above.

FASI

Salaries, wages and employee benefits of FASI decreased by $0.6 million, or 3.8%, to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $15.7 million in the same period of 2009. Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 45.4% of FASI’s operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 50.0% for the same period of 2009 . FASI salary, wages and employee benefits are higher as a percentage of operating revenue than our Forward Air segment, as a larger percentage of the transportation services are performed by Company-employed drivers as opposed to owner-operators. The decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of revenue is attributable to reduced Company-employed driver pay, administrative salaries and dock wages. As noted above, to move FASI to a more variable cost structure, we are in the process of shifting, wherever feasible, from Company-employed drivers to a network of owner-operators. As a result, we reduced pay to Company-employed drivers by 2.5% as a percentage of revenue. To further reduce FASI’s fixed cost structure, at the end of the second quarter of 2009, we reduced administrative headcounts and as a result we reduced administrative pay by 1.4% as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Also, contributing to the reduction of FASI salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of revenue, dock wages decreased 0.7% as a percentage of revenue primarily due to efforts to replace more costly and less efficient contract labor with Company-employed dock personnel.

Operating Leases

Operating leases decreased by $0.9 million, or 6.5%, to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating leases, the largest component of which is facility rent, were 5.6% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Forward Air

Operating leases decreased $0.7 million, or 7.4%, to $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating leases were 4.5% of Forward Air operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 5.7% in the same period of 2009. Our new regional hub in Dallas/Fort Worth was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2009. In conjunction with the opening of this facility we were able to move out of the previously leased facilities and reduce operating lease expense by approximately $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

FASI

FASI operating lease expense decreased $0.2 million, or 4.7%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $4.3 million for the same period in 2009. Approximately $0.2 million of the decrease was attributable to lower facility rent due to the consolidation of duplicate facilities after our 2008 acquisitions.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.4 million, or 4.1%, to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Depreciation and amortization was 4.4% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 4.9% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million, or 3.8%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of Forward Air operating revenue was 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Approximately $0.2 million of the increase in depreciation is attributable to increased depreciation related to the completion of the Company-owned Dallas/Fort Worth regional hub at the beginning of the third quarter of 2009. The remaining $0.1 million increase is primarily due to various leasehold improvements to existing facilities.

FASI

FASI depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 5.6%, to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of FASI operating revenue was 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The $0.1 million increase is attributable to an allocation of depreciation expense for FASI’s proportionate usage of the Dallas/Fort Worth regional hub.

Insurance and Claims

Insurance and claims expense decreased $0.5 million, or 10.2%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Insurance and claims were 1.9% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 2.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Forward Air

Insurance and claims was 1.8% of Forward Air operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with 2.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The $0.5 million, or 12.5%, decrease is driven by reductions in insurance premiums, loss development reserves and cargo claims. Insurance premiums decreased $0.3 million during the first half of 2010 as a result of the decreased number of our owner-operators in our network during the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009. The reduction in units was a result of fleet reductions that we experienced during the economic recession in 2009. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 we reduced our vehicle loss development reserves by $0.2 million based on a mid-year actuarial analysis of our vehicle claims. Cargo claims have also decreased $0.1 million as 2009 included a significant individual cargo claim. These decreases were offset by a $0.1 million increase in legal fees associated with vehicle accident and cargo claims.

FASI

FASI insurance and claims for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.9 million. As a percentage of revenue FASI insurance and claims decreased to 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2.9% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Fuel Expense

Fuel expense increased $0.8 million, or 24.2%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Fuel expense was 1.8% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 1.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Forward Air

Fuel expense was 0.9% of Forward Air operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The $0.3 million, or 20.0%, increase was primarily due to the significant increase in average fuel prices during the six months ended June 30, 2010 net of reductions in miles driven by Company-owned units.

FASI

FASI fuel expense increased $0.5 million, or 27.8%, to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Fuel expense was 6.9% of FASI operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. FASI fuel expense is significantly higher as a percentage of operating revenue than Forward Air’s fuel expense, as FASI utilizes a higher ratio of Company-employed drivers and Company-owned or leased vehicles in its operations than Forward Air. The increase in FASI fuel expense was attributable to the increase in average fuel prices during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 net of reductions in miles driven by Company-owned units.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses increased $1.8 million, or 10.5%, to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Other operating expenses were 8.3% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 8.8% in the same period of 2009.

Forward Air

Other operating expenses increased $1.7 million, or 12.1%, to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Other operating expenses were 8.0% of Forward Air operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in other operating expenses in total dollars was attributable to increases in variable costs, such as dock supplies, vehicle maintenance and tolls, which increased as a result of the increased business volumes discussed previously. Forward Air other operating expenses decreased as percentage of revenue as these variable cost increases were outpaced by the increase in revenue.

FASI

FASI other operating expenses increased $0.1 million, or 3.1%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. FASI other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were 9.9% of the segment’s operating revenue compared to 10.2% for the same period in 2009. The $0.1 million increase is attributable to the operating expenses for the six months of 2009 including the benefit of a $0.1 million reduction to FASI’s bad debt reserves.

Intercompany Eliminations

Intercompany eliminations were $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 . The intercompany eliminations are for agent station services FASI provided to FAI during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

No impairment charges were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets was $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets was 3.7% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Forward Air

No impairment charges were incurred for Forward Air during the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, Forward Air recorded a $0.2 million charge to write off the net book value of certain truckload and cargo handling customer relationships that had been discontinued during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

FASI

No impairment charges were incurred for FASI during the six months ended June 30, 2010. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we determined there were indicators of potential impairment of the goodwill assigned to the FASI segment. This determination was made based on the economic recession, declines in current market valuations and FASI operating losses in excess of expectations. As a result, we performed an interim impairment test as of March 31, 2009. Based on the results of the impairment test, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $7.0 million related to the FASI segment during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Results from Operations

Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $19.7 million to $19.6 million, or 8.6% as a percentage of consolidated operating revenue. Results from operations for the same period of 2009 were a $0.1 million loss from operations. The loss from operations was 0.1% of consolidated operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Forward Air

Income from operations increased by $11.8 million to $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of Forward Air operating revenue was 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in income from operations was primarily the result of the increased revenues discussed above and the resulting positive leverage the additional revenues provide against the fixed costs of the Forward Air network.

FASI

FASI’s loss from operations decreased $7.9 million, or 81.4%, to a $1.8 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from a $9.7 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in FASI’s loss from operations was primarily driven by the $7.0 million non-cash, goodwill impairment charge included in the results from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the decrease in FASI’s loss from operations was also attributable to increased revenue, operating efficiencies reflected in the decreases to salaries, wages and benefits and the net reduction of fixed costs between operating leases and depreciation and amortization. These improvements were offset by increased fuel prices.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 33.3%, to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increases in our credit facility borrowing rates.

Income Taxes

The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 41.0% compared to a rate of 41.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to improvements in forecasted taxable income net of a $0.2 million increase in reserves for certain state income tax contingencies recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the foregoing factors, net earnings increased by $11.6 million, to $11.3 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and changes in the business environment. However, actual results may differ from estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require management’s most subjective judgments. A summary of significant accounting policies is disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Our critical accounting policies are further described under the caption “Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The expanded disclosures will require a greater level of disaggregated information and additional disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. The amendment will require expanded disclosures on transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair values, activity in Level 3 investments and inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosure requirements and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements involving activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment required in the first interim period after December 15, 2009 did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. In addition, the adoption of the provisions of this amendment required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.

We adopted the FASB’s new guidance regarding subsequent events in the second quarter of 2009. The FASB’s new guidance establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of the new subsequent event guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB amended rules regarding the transfer and servicing of financial assets and the extinguishment of financial assets. The amended guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”); clarifies and amends the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale; amends and clarifies the unit of account eligible for sale accounting; and requires that a transferor initially be measured at fair value and recognize all assets obtained (for example beneficial interests) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of an entire financial asset or group of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Additionally, on and after the effective date of the amended guidance, existing QSPEs (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. The amended guidance requires enhanced disclosures about, among other things, a transferor’s continuing involvement with transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales, the risks inherent in the transferred financial assets that have been retained, and the nature and financial effect of restrictions on the transferor’s assets that continue to be reported in the statement of financial position. Our adoption of the amended guidance on January 1, 2010, did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB amended its rules regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). The FASB also amended the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FASB rules required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. QSPEs, which were previously exempt from the application of rules regarding VIE, will be subject to the provisions of these new rules when they become effective. The amended guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. We adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2010, and this adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our working capital needs, including capital expenditures, with cash flows from operations and borrowings under our bank lines of credit. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to approximately $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is mainly attributable to a $15.0 million reduction in cash provided by accounts receivable partially offset by a $6.9 million reduction in cash used for prepaid assets and accounts payable and a $5.6 million increase in net earnings after consideration of non-cash items. The decrease in cash from accounts receivable is largely attributable to the increase in business volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in revenues that will not be collected until the second half of 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with approximately $14.5 million used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 consisted primarily of capital expenditures for new tractors and vehicles to replace aging units. Cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 included capital expenditures primarily for the Dallas/Fort Worth regional hub that was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2009.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with approximately $5.0 million used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 mainly included our quarterly dividend payment and scheduled capital lease payments. The reduction in cash used for financing activities is attributable to reduced capital lease and debt payments and increased proceeds from stock option exercises. Capital lease and debt payments decreased as certain capital leases and notes payable assumed with past acquisitions reached their scheduled maturity dates.

We currently have access to a $100.0 million senior credit facility. The facility expires in October 2012 and includes an accordion feature, which if approved by our lender, allows for an additional $50.0 million in borrowings. However, at this time we believe that to access the accordion feature our lender would require that the interest rates for the senior credit facility be reset to match current market rates. Interest rates for advances under the senior credit facility are at LIBOR plus 0.6% to 0.9% based upon covenants related to total indebtedness to earnings. At June 30, 2010, we had $38.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the senior credit facility, not including the accordion feature, and had utilized $11.8 million of availability for outstanding letters of credit.

During the first and second quarters of 2010 and 2009, cash dividends of $0.07 per share were declared on common stock outstanding. We expect to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, though each subsequent quarterly dividend is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors.

We believe that our available cash, investments, expected cash generated from future operations and borrowings under the available senior credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition and relate to future events or our future financial performance. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of such terms as “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects” or “expects.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following is a list of factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements: economic factors such as recessions, inflation, higher interest rates and downturns in customer business cycles, our inability to maintain our historical growth rate because of a decreased volume of freight moving through our network or decreased average revenue per pound of freight moving through our network, increasing competition and pricing pressure, surplus inventories, loss of a major customer, the creditworthiness of our customers and their ability to pay for services rendered, our ability to secure terminal facilities in desirable locations at reasonable rates, the inability of our information systems to handle an increased volume of freight moving through our network, changes in fuel prices, claims for property damage, personal injuries or workers’ compensation, employment matters including rising health care costs, enforcement of and changes in governmental regulations, environmental and tax matters, the handling of hazardous materials, the availability and compensation of qualified independent owner-operators and freight handlers needed to serve our transportation needs and our inability to successfully integrate acquisitions. As a result of the foregoing, no assurance can be given as to future financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Part II.	Other Information

Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are a party to ordinary, routine litigation incidental to and arising in the normal course of our business, most of which involve claims for personal injury and property damage related to the transportation and handling of freight, or workers’ compensation.
