From issues like the current national driver shortage to new legislation and regulations, he offers a unique perspective on how Estes is navigating today s dynamic business environment. How has the implementation of the Affordable Care Act impacted Estes from both an internal and operational standpoint? Preparing to meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act in 2014 has been complicated. Though we believe health-care reform legislation is well intended and making insurance available to everyone is an admirable goal, Estes has felt the strain along with all other companies of the millions of dollars in fees paid to the government. How has Estes overcome these challenges? While increased fees have really been eye-opening, Estes fiscally conservative business model has helped us through this big change. We continue to operate under a very low debt ratio, which allows us to manage costs and keep the company on an even keel. And that translates into very little impact on our customers due to the broad changes in the health-care market. On the home front, we re hoping that our new consumer-based health-care plan option will help bring transparency to medical costs and allow all of us to participate in a much healthier market for medical services. Estes employees 1
2 State Of The Trucking Industry Con t now have access to tools that help them make better-informed health-care decisions so they can exercise greater control over their own health-care expenses. Tax-advantaged, company-subsidized health savings accounts also incentivize employees to pay better attention to their own health and that of their families resulting in an especially good outcome for everyone. How has the driver shortage impacted Estes? The driver shortage is a concern for all freight transportation companies, but it has a somewhat smaller impact on those organizations that primarily provide less-than-truckload services. However, that is not to say Estes isn t feeling the effects. The driving workforce is aging our average driver age these days is 48 and as older, experienced drivers retire, we re not seeing as many younger people taking their place. Many of those older drivers started driving as soon as they graduated from high school. These days, however, drivers are not allowed to cross state lines in a truck until they turn 21. In those intervening years between high-school graduation and age 21, many more individuals are going to college to pursue white-collar work or establish a path in other directions. The best way to ensure public safety and low accident rates is to hire drivers with the cleanest records and solid driving experience. This fact hit home recently when a competitor pressured by the need for drivers recently lowered driving experience requirements and saw a 25% jump in their accident rate. Clearly, this is not an area for compromise, and the industry needs to find a way to help transition promising new drivers into experienced ones. What is Estes doing to recruit and retain experienced drivers with clean driving records? We re doing several things to proactively recruit safe drivers. First, we are ramping up our driving schools around the nation. Going forward, we have the capacity to graduate anywhere from drivers each year. And since Estes requires a high level of experience to help ensure everyone s safety, we ve developed ways to include hands-on experience as part of our drivertraining regimen once they complete the initial training. Another way we re handling the shortage is by recruiting experienced military personnel who are coming back to civilian life. Many servicemen and women have been certified drivers in the military, so they have the built-in experience required and often also the discipline needed to succeed. Of course, Estes remains committed to hiring only the safest drivers to protect everyone on the roadway as well as the freight we re carrying. The flip side of the hiring coin is driver retention, and we are working to ensure that we retain good drivers by offering competitive wages and benefits and a good working environment. How is Estes handling the current regulatory environment in the trucking industry? Beyond the driver shortage and the new cost of health care, the trucking industry or the economic circulatory system as President and CEO of the American Trucking Associations Bill Graves calls it has had to navigate through a great deal of regulatory hurdles. We can t argue with some of those regulations, especially those that make our roads safer and our operations more efficient. However, some are harder to justify than others. 2
3 State Of The Trucking Industry Con t With this said, one of the many benefits of our 82 years of experience as a freight transportation company is the fact that we ve proven it s possible to successfully navigate a changing landscape. As a matter of fact, we look at change as opportunity opportunity to become more efficient and to find better ways to serve our customers. Through the years, we have used flexibility as our watch-word, and that term applies in several ways. For example, operations can be flexible enough to handle the diverse needs of our customers. It can also mean that our service offerings are diversified enough to ensure long-term financial stability, something that s also very important to our customers. Finally, flexibility means we do what it takes to adapt to regulatory changes and maximize the opportunity to improve operations and customer relationships. In short, we never give up, and that resolve benefits our customers and our employees. Crude Oil Continues to Fall, What Does It Mean? Crude oil prices have fallen over $10 a barrel over the last 7 weeks and that means good news to all end consumers. Why this happening is and what should we expect in the coming weeks? The Why s? Geo Political tension seems to be quite for right now. That can change by the time I finish this article but for the last few weeks, no news is good news and no news means lower crude oil prices U.S. dollar believe it or not has been strong against the Euro. Since crude oil is traded in U.S. dollars this means you can buy more for your money with a strong dollar. Crude Oil is down $10 a barrel in the last 7 weeks. Typically for each dollar the price of crude oil falls, diesel fuel prices fall 2-3 cents a gallon and gas price fall similar. There has been a lack of demand for crude oil and finish product like diesel fuel and gas. The lack of demand has made a huge increase with inventory for all products. Great news for end users again. Remember this lower crude oil produces, lower diesel fuel prices, gas price, tire costs, oil and lubes, chap stick because if it has petroleum in it since crude oil is going lower so will these products. What to Expect! Crude oil should fall to less than $90 a barrel by the end of the year and has a remote shot at going as low as $85 a barrel That is roughly $6-$11 a barrel lower than it stands today. That kind of drop in crude oil, could equal a drop of cents in diesel fuel and gas prices. Could you say DOE national diesel fuel prices of $3.60 by January 1? Gas prices in most states under $3.00. Wow! What a New Year! Expect 2014 to be a good year as far as the cost of diesel fuel and gas prices go. We believe that nationwide gas prices will top out at $3.60. Yes, we know that is a lot more than what we are paying now, but it will also average out to be 20 cents less than what you paid in For diesel fuel, we see that topping out nationwide at $4.15 a gallon. Again, that is it topping out. We see the yearly average to be about $3.85 which is about where it is today. So there will be a little roller coaster ride but at the end of the year, you will have save about 20 cents per gallon compared to Author: Glen Sokolis, President of Sokolis Group fuel management.

4 Dohrn Transfer Earns John Deere Recognition Award Dohrn Transfer has earned recognition as a Partner-level supplier for 2013 in the John Deere Achieving Excellence Program. The Partner-level status is Deere & Company s highest supplier rating. The Rock Island-based company was selected for the honor in recognition of its dedication to providing products and service of outstanding quality as well as its commitment to continuous improvement. Dohrn is a supplier of transportation and logistics to John Deere s Midwest operations. This is the forth time Dohrn Transfer has been awarded the Partner-level supplier for John Deere. We re proud to be recognized by John Deere for the level of service we have provided to them in recent years. It is a testament to our team s dedication and strength, and our employees all deserve the credit, from the drivers, to the dockworkers, to the support personnel in the office. It is rewarding to see their hard work being appreciated said Joe Dohrn, Executive Vice President. Suppliers who participate in the Achieving Excellence program are evaluated annually in several key performance categories, including quality, cost management, delivery, technical support and wavelength, which is a measure of responsiveness. John Deere Supply Management created the program in 1991 to provide a supplier evaluation and feedback process that promotes continuous improvement. Central Freight Lines Purchases 100 New CNG Freightliners Waco, Texas-based Central Freight Lines has added 100 CNG-fueled M2 112 trucks to its fleet of more than 1,600 vehicles, manufacturer Freightliner reports, noting that Central will support them with fueling stations being developed with partners in Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston. The stations in Fort Worth and San Antonio are being developed by the Evo Trillium joint venture. Trucks on Houston will fuel at a Questar-ANGI facility (F&F, January 14). In 2012, we purchased CNG tractors that have been servicing the Houston area with proven efficiencies, Central president and CEO Don Orr says in a Freightliner release. As a result, we decided to continue investing in CNG tractors, specifically Freightliner trucks because of their reliability and the company s customer support. Waco, Texas-based Central Freight Lines has added 100 CNG-fueled Freightliner M2 112 trucks to its fleet of more than 1,600 vehicles. 4
5 Central Freight Lines Purchases 100 New CNG Freightliners Con t Taking Advantage of TERP We like Freightliner trucks for their quality, Orr said. They provide superior uptime and we get maximum utility over a long period. We also appreciate the dealer network. It s supportive and professional. Central is taking advantage of a Texas Emissions Reduction Plan program that allows participants to trade a less-efficient truck towards a cost reduction on each new CNG-fueled truck purchased, Freightliner says.
