During the quarter, we continued to benefit from our experienced drivers. Our driver turnover was below 70% on an annualized basis in the September 2005 quarter. This level compares with an industry average large fleet driver turnover rate of 125%, according to the American Trucking Associations.
Chairman and CEO Steve Russell commented on the quarter: "We are pleased with the Company's results for the September 2005 quarter. The September quarter reflected accelerating profitability through improved freight mix, higher average freight revenue per mile, lower maintenance costs as a consequence of reduced average age of equipment and continued success in driver retention. Freight demand was good during the quarter. In addition, we believe industry capacity continues to be constrained by the ongoing driver shortage, as well as by the financial constraints that high fuel prices place on many small to mid-sized carriers that lack buying power and adequate fuel surcharge programs. These factors contributed to a 7.3% increase in average freight revenue per loaded mile, to $1.48 in the September 2005 quarter from $1.38 in the same quarter last year. Average freight revenue per tractor per week improved 3.9%, to $2,976 from $2,864.
