There are some on these message boards that are fixated on executive salaries. Why they would be, shows you can't see the forest because of the trees, at times. While being fixated on a mere $3 million in total compensation they are missing the big picture of $2.1 billion in expenses that exceed sales/revenue. I randomly picked 9 trucking companies and totaled the top five executive's total compensation of each company for 2012 as stated on the DEF14A of each company. By the way, ABFS has the lowest paid group of executives and it just went lower because they eliminated their own annual pension compensation.
