Observations...
The numbers for the quarter are far more impressive than the combined 6 mo. (Q1/Q2)
Operating income +37% for the quarter (Y/Y) vs +19% for the 6 mo period (Y/Y).
Margin up a full 1.2% vs .2%
Purchase Transportation +20% vs +25% respectively.
Fuel +34 vs +37 respectively.
So... It seems we're doing much better, most recently, by almost every measure.
Still, Purchase Trans is a very big number. Does the percentage of change represent increased cost, use, or likely both?
Fuel increase is a huge number.
Wages/Benefit cost seems to reflect the massive hiring trend far more than actual increased rates/values.
*As always, we can't be absolutely certain where the bean counters will draw the line in figuring the bonus payout. The actual (non-rounded) margin for the period is 0.0835697704410627, which would/could reduce payout to 2.174941965437194%. A difference of $10 or less per 50K earned. But who's counting?
