Executive Chairman Randolph L. Marten stated, "Our earnings were heavily pressured by the freight market recession's oversupply and weak demand, inflationary operating costs, and cumulative impact of freight rate reductions leading to freight network disruptions. Our unique multifaceted business model's value is highlighted by the operating results for our dedicated, brokerage and MRTN de Mexico operations through the first half of this year."

"We are focused on minimizing the freight market's impact on our operations while investing in and positioning our operations to capitalize on profitable organic growth opportunities, with fair compensation for our premium services, across each of our business operations for what comes next in the freight cycle as the market moves toward equilibrium from its current recessionary late stages. Accordingly, we have not agreed to rate reductions since last August."

"We are seeing increased interest by our customers to secure dedicated capacity and have recently added new multi-year dedicated programs for an additional 133 drivers starting in the third quarter."
