Cowen analyst Jason Seidl conducted a private trucking survey and said its results are likely better than feared. The analyst said the average rate increase is in-line with expectations despite 31% of respondents expecting a recession in the next six months. He said while the survey is less positive than the previous survey, its results signal a more positive outlook toward the trucking stocks with a positive read through for Knight Transport (KNX), Werner (WERN), Schneider (SNDR), Covenant (CVTI), USA Trucking (USAK), and Daseke (DSKE).

Reports Q1 revenue $1.82B, consensus $1.82B. CEO Adam Miller commented, "The full truckload market remains extremely challenging as carriers navigate the oversupply of capacity, reduced load volumes, and continued rate pressure through the early part of the bid season. This has negatively impacted the results of our Truckload, Logistics, and Intermodal segments...Although our consolidated results are not where we would like them to be, we are confident that we have the resources and are capable of the disciplined approach necessary to navigate the current market...We are continuing our strategy of building a nationwide LTL network through both organic and inorganic growth paths. Our logistics segment will continue to complement our truckload brands, leverage our power-only capabilities, preserve profitability, and afford outsized growth opportunity when the truckload market strengthens. We are building a strong foundation of diverse customers in our intermodal business with strategic rail partners, which we believe will position us for sustained profitability in the future."
