Economic Snapshot:
Is the Economy Improving?
Manufacturing: Still Postive by Showing Signs of Weakness
Source: Institute for Supply Management, Bureau of Economic Analysis
• Key domestic sectors (Auto, Industrial Manufacturing, Non-Residential Construction) continue to struggle
• Slowing global economy likely to adversely impact near-term demand for industrial products

Residential Construction: Not Yet on the Road to Recovery
• Existing home inventory remains elevated; inventory probably needs to drop by close to 40 -50% to be inline with historical levels
• Replacement cost still running above existing home prices which makes buying existing and renovating more attractive
• Bloated existing home inventory will continue to negatively impact new home construction and sales despite low interest rates
Source: Calculated Risk
Commercial Construction: The Outlook Remains Depressed
Source: AIA
• The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) is below 50 (indicating contraction) and trending down
• Normally there is a 9-12 month lag between billings rising above 50 and construction spending

• Supply chains are global as companies develop resource networks that help them access raw materials and cheap labor
• Companies also seeking to gain access to new markets and customers
• Competitive advantages in places like China have run their course much faster than expected. What is the next iteration?

Changing Energy Paradigm
Source: The Oil Drum
• “Peak Cheap Oil” a reality as energy companies ramp exploration and development of new sources of energy (natural gas, oil sands, CTL technology)
• Rapidly rising energy costs not only cause supply chain disruptions, but also cause demand destruction (2008, 2011)
• Companies starting to look at near-sourcing as competitive advantages in places like Asia (China) rapidly deteriorate due to inflation
Changing Energy Paradigm
Source: U.S. Energy Information Agency
• We are seeing the impact of “Peak Cheap Oil” on transportation systems as the supply/demand dynamic changes
• Carriers implementing fuel surcharges (and emergency fuel mechanisms) to lessen energy cost volatility
• We believe the U.S. Government and transportation industry recognize these changes and are adapting to this new reality

Government Regulation: Trucking• U.S. Government is scheduled to implement several new regulations that will impact the trucking industry over the next couple of years
• Headline motivation is safety; we believe long term energy concerns are the real driver
• Carrier reactions to new regulations indicates a fundamental change in the transport markets

• Trucks are one of the largest consumers of oil (in the form of diesel fuel) in the U.S.
• The trucking industry is highly fragmented (~600k carriers) with the vast majority being owner-operators or small to mid-sized trucking companies operating fewer than 10 trucks
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Program − Targets both carriers (equipment) and drivers− More comprehensive and “real time” monitoring and enforcement of the trucking industry− Total driver loss estimated to be 10-15% of the existing population − Smaller carriers will be negatively impacted to a greater degree than large carriers− Carriers will likely face higher costs relative to driver recruitment, pay, and insurance which will be passed on to shippers− Shippers/Brokers worried about negligible hiring and litigation exposure are reviewing CSA scores to determine what is ‘acceptable’
Hours of Service (HoS) − 14 Hour Driving window with release from duty after − Reduction in max driving time from 11 hours to 10− On duty time more strictly enforced − Total reduction in aggregate available capacity (based on hours lost) could reach 10% − Carriers would be less productive
Electronic Onboard Recorders (EOBR)− Monitoring devices for trucks (details truck operations)− Requirement of EOBR’s create additional headwinds for small and mid-sized carriers due to expense− Some O&D pairs may no longer be viable
Government Regulation: Impact on Trucking
Source: Cleveland Research Analysis, FMCSA
• Carrier behavior unlike anything seen since deregulation (1980)
• Large carriers have not chasing market share as capacity tightens
• Fleets sizes remain relatively static (ex-replacement) after the 2009 recession due to driver shortage
• Lack of financing sources and rising equipment costs keeping trucks from re-entering the market

• Van rates up 7-10%+ year-over-year as capacity tightens; we see further upside in 2012
• Rates could see further upside into the back-to-school and peak shipping seasons
• Spot rates likely move higher as shippers get more concerned about securing capacity for 2H11

• What drove Warren Buffett to buy BNSF in 2009?
• As the trucking industry faces more regulation, rails stand to haul more volume and gain market share due to modal conversion
• Rails are far more efficient than trucks and have been able to add incremental volume without significantly increasing fuel consumption

Government Regulation: Benefit for Rail
• Growth will accelerate as fuel moves higher and rails tap lane segments below 800 miles
• Service and fit with shipper supply chains is the biggest inhibitor to intermodal adoption
• Near term: reliability faces headwinds from train crew shortages
• Long term: performance will improve giving shippers a more cost effective and time-sensitive solution for their supply chains
Addressable Market for Intermodal Rail
Modal Capacity Issues
Source: CRC Analysis
Modal Capacity Issues: Truck
• Ongoing evolution of the role of big carriers; no longer placing huge equipment orders with OEMs; focusing on yields versus market share
•Tight credit markets making it difficult for owner-operators and small to mid-sized trucking companies to buy new equipment (even replacement)
• Truck brokers have emerged as a viable source of capacity for shippers and another sales/marketing avenue for carriers
– Brokers possess the information technology to manage relationships with thousands of small to mid-sized carriers and owner-operators
- Brokers have the geographic footprint to gain greater visibility into markets and secure freight
- Broker consolidation likely as small players exit the market due to rising barriers to entry (surety bonds, IT platforms)

Modal Capacity Issues: Ocean• Global containership lines still taking delivery of ships ordered several years ago despite softening demand
• Not only is the global fleet growing but the size of ships being deployed is also rapidly expanding
• Carriers need to deploy and fully utilize these assets in order to earn an acceptable ROI

• Price collusion in 2010 has altered behavior for 2011 preventing carriers from idling capacity
• Idle ship capacity stand at just under 1% of the global fleet; was almost 12% in 2010
• Current environment favors shippers and freight forwarders as carriers cut rates to keep their expensive assets full
Future Implications for Supply Chains
Near Term
• Back-to-School and Peak season yet to play but off to a slow start; overall economy looks to be slowing again
• Truck (TL and LTL) capacity will remain tight; Airfreight and Intermodal Rail balanced; Containerized Ocean loose
• What lever will the U.S. Government pull next? What does it mean for inflation and consumer spending?
Long Term
• Globalization and the ability to tie into the international movement of raw materials, component parts and finished goods
- Exports will remain strong if the U.S. Dollar remains weak
- Deconsolidation of international ocean containers for trans-shipment within the U.S.
- Expanding role of the airfreight value chain
• Ability to cater to emerging regional distribution strategies
-Shorter length of haul, smaller shipment size, multi-stop, dedicated
- Expanding role of the intermodal value chain
• Differentiated service offering with a focus on providing value added supply chain management solutions versus commodity transportation services
- Shippers are increasingly looking to outsource some or all of their supply chain functions to third-parties in order to focus on core competencies
- Partnering opportunities with other service providers who lack distribution capabilities in the U.S.
