Our 2010 results reflect reductions in our depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $12.7 million, due to changes in the estimated useful lives and salvage values of certain equipment, which are described further under “Critical Accounting Policies” below.
(2)
For the purpose of this table, interest expense is presented net of interest income.
(3)
Per share data has been restated retroactively for the three-for-two stock split effected in August 2010.
(4)
We refined our average length of haul in 2008 by excluding miles driven by our agent carriers. As a result, our average length of haul is restated for the year ended December 31, 2007.
