Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Market conditions and demand trends
Fourth quarter demand and margins met expectations, with improved customer forecast accuracy and healthy market dynamics.
Early Q1 showed stronger-than-expected demand, though winter storms caused short-term disruptions and market volatility.
Supply attrition is evident, with tighter capacity and regulatory impacts affecting driver hiring and market exits.
Spot rates and tender rejections remain elevated, but it's unclear how much is weather-driven versus structural.
Bid season is still early, with customers attributing recent disruptions to weather rather than structural changes.

AI is expected to drive operational excellence and customer value, especially in repetitive and asset-utilization tasks.
Operational excellence and disciplined growth remain top priorities, with technology as a key enabler.
Intermodal and rail service
Long-standing relationships with rail providers support stable service, with no expected changes from potential M&A.
Freight shifts between railroads are routine, driven by customer needs and service optimization.
Rail service quality has been strong for nearly three years, supporting meaningful volume growth despite low truck rates and fuel prices.
Intermodal growth is notable even without typical tailwinds, reflecting strong service and customer trust.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
