April 2013 Expedite Freight Report

[Lawrence]

April 2013 vs. April 2012 had two more (10%) business days due to Easter falling in March while it was in April last year (plus the way the weekends fell this year vs. last year). So the 2% increase in trip count is really more like an 8% decrease when you factor in business days.

The revenue fell 4%, but it is probably more like 14%.

We are continuing to see rate erosion as we end the first 4 months of 2013. See charts below for more information.

April wasn't good for me. Worse month of the 2013 so far. In fact my April numbers are what my January or Febuary numbers should have been. January was above average for me in terms of revenue & runs. Same for Febuary. I actually saw a nice bump in my Febuary revenue. March was my bes month of the year so far. Easter had no bearing on it & I took an extra Friday off for my Sons first birthday.

May has been steady, my FEDEX revenue is slightly off for where I want it to be my the 15th of the month, but my other revenue streams have been solid. So right now i'm projecting to be slightly under my rvenue goal for the month, but above my minimum required revenue.
