Both the final quarter of the year and all of 2013 saw records for net earnings, along with revenue and earnings per share.

Load growth of 13% in the company’s intermodal business helped drive an 11% increase in segment revenue and a 17% increase in operating income during the final quarter of the year compared to the same time in 2012.

Dedicated segment revenue increased by 17%, primarily from the addition of new customer accounts, but operating income added only 0.5% due to flat productivity.

Integrated Capacity Solutions, the company’s brokerage business, saw revenue increase by 13%, mostly from a higher load count and an increase in revenue per load. In contrast its operating income fell by 24%.

Truck segment revenue decreased 19%, primarily from an 11% reduction in fleet size compared to a year ago. Current quarter total operating revenue, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 13%  compared to the same time a year earlier, however, when fuel surcharges are included, operating income showed a loss of $1 million, compared to positive operating income of $5 million a year ago.
