Steven Dutro was interviewed for a Transport Topics story called “Fleets Use Varied Strategies to Boost Value to Investors.” Dutro noted, “Clearly, what some people call the ‘capital window’ is open. Capital is available from a variety of sources for the trucking industry.”
Gailyn Larsen was quoted by the Commercial Carrier Journal in its article, “Merging Byte by Byte.” Larsen said, “Many potential buyers and sellers are looking at deals more favorably than in recent years when so many carriers were upside down on their equipment valuations. The biggest impediment to more deals is uncertainty over the effects of the hours-of-service regulations. But beyond that, the economic environment for consolidation is positive.”

James Schnoes was quoted in Fleet Owner magazine regarding the favorable relative impact of team operations overall and specifically on carrier valuation, given the emerging changes in hours of service regulations. He said, “A small to mid-sized carrier that offers team service is going to be much more attractive to sell under the new rules, because team service is a great way for fleets to hedge their bets in terms of minimizing the impact of the new HOS regulations.”
