Performance Graph
The following graph compares the total shareholder cumulative returns, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends, of $100 invested on December 31, 2009, in (i) our common stock, (ii) the NASDAQ Industrial Transportation Index, (iii) the S&P 500 Total Return Index, (iv) the NASDAQ Trucking & Transportation Stocks and (v) The NASDAQ Stock Market (US) for the five-year period ended December 31, 2014.
As a result of a change in the total return data made available to us through our vendor provider, our performance graphs going forward will use a comparable index provided by NASDAQ OMX Global Indexes. We have included the NASDAQ Trucking & Transportation Stocks and The NASDAQ Stock Market (US) for comparative purposes, however, these indices will be replaced with the NASDAQ Industrial Transportation Index and the S&P 500 Total Return Index going forward.
