Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 25, 2007, the company issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.  Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the company’s press release dated January 25, 2007 announcing the company’s financial results for this period.

The press release includes a discussion of revenue, before fuel surcharge and non-freight revenue, or “freight revenue,” in addition to operating revenue.  The press release also includes a discussion of revenue, before fuel surcharge revenues.  The company provided these additional disclosures because management believes removing these sources of revenue provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period.  These financial measures in the press release have not been determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to Regulation G, the company has included a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The information contained in this report and the exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
