3 Driver Market Dynamics

4 4 Stagnant wages Fewer qualified drivers Drivers are retiring/aging and are not being replaced at the same rate) Alternative job market (construction, oil industry, ports, etc.) Higher requirements for career entry (regulations, hair testing, ELDs) Fierce driver recruiting competition Strong freight demand Driver Landscape

6 6 Source: FTR Associates Driver Shortage Worsening

7 7 The industry needs to find roughly 96,000 new drivers annually to keep pace with demand. If freight demand grows as it is projected to, the driver shortage could balloon to nearly 240,000, according to ATA data. Source: ATA

8 8 Productivity Driver and asset productivity decreasing 11 hour work day results in about 7 driving hours 34 hour restart reduces hours by 15% ATRI survey revealed 80% of carriers had loss in productivity Carriers have segmented freight into two groups Inefficient, unproductive freight Not in carrier’s network Time consuming- empty miles or over one hour loading/unloading Dwell time on the load Leads to higher rates Productive, favorable freight Better pricing Efficient loading/unloading or preloaded Good payload miles Within carrier’s network Source: ATA

9 9 Railroad Issues Service recovery is happening slowly due to growth 7.9% intermodal growth 5.6% carload growth 21.5% increase in grain movements All commodities use the same tracks, locomotives, crews, etc Service issues related to locomotive and crew capacity Only one company (GE) producing new locomotives until 2017 Recruiting and hiring crews has become more difficult

10 10 Railroad Investment CAPEX spend Increase of 9% in 2014 across Class I railroads Railroads will invest over 18% of annual revenues on capex- 3% in “average industrial company”

11 11 Capacity Likely to remain near tipping point with new regulations set for 2016 Per FTR Forecast- shipping costs will rise in 2015 Consolidation, optimization, and mode conversion important Due to increase in labor and purchased transport costs
