McGladrey LLP Member of RSM International network, a network of independent accounting, tax and consulting firms. Independent Auditor’s Report To the Stockholders Gordon Trucking, Inc. Pacific, Washington Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gordon Trucking, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gordon Trucking, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Tacoma, Washington February 20, 2013, except for Notes 6 and 7 as to which the date is January 8, 2014

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in Thousands) Gordon Trucking, Inc. December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company Gordon Trucking, Inc. is a Washington corporation providing truckload transportation services to customers throughout the United States and Canada. Air GTI, LLC provides air transportation support to Gordon Trucking, Inc. (GTI), which is its sole member. The Company holds a variable interest in six related entities, described below, which lease real estate and equipment to Gordon Trucking, Inc. and have been consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles. The entities are referred to collectively as the Company. Variable-Interest Entities Annually, GTI does an evaluation of all existing relationships to identify situations where GTI has a “variable interest” in a “variable-interest entity” and to determine which of these variable-interest entities must be consolidated with GTI’s financial results. As a part of this annual assessment, management reviews the nature of the variable interest relationship and whether there have been any significant changes over the past year that result in a change to the original assessment. During the annual assessment, management considers the nature of any lending relationships, as well as the risk profile, including any significant changes of the variable interest. Management concluded, for 2012, 2011 and 2010, that there were no changes to previous conclusions regarding these variable interests. The variable interests identified have been due to debt and debt guarantees provided by GTI; therefore, there are no significant judgments or assumptions used during this evaluation. For 2010, GTI held a variable interest in two related entities: Cal S&S, LLC and S&S Wisconsin, LLC. For 2011, GTI held a variable interest in four related entities: Cal S&S, LLC; S&S Wisconsin, LLC; S&S Illinois, LLC; and Gordon Richardson, LLC. For 2012, GTI holds a variable interest in six related entities, which includes the four mentioned above, in addition to S&S Idaho, LLC; and S&S Indy, LLC. These entities are consolidated into GTI’s results as of December 31, 2012 (six entities), 2011 (four entities) and 2010 (two entities), as outlined above. These entities generated rental income totaling approximately $3,363, $2,675 and $1,299 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, all of which has been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidation of these entities represents $22,278, $19,818 and $11,888 of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $16,473, $15,667 and $10,364 of the Company’s total liabilities as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gordon Trucking, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, Air GTI, LLC and its variable-interest entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes transportation revenue based on the transit time in each reporting period. Revenue is reported gross. Expenses are recognized as incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. (continued) 8


 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in Thousands) Gordon Trucking, Inc. December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. Notes Receivable - Related Party Notes receivable are stated at the amount of unpaid principal. Interest income is recognized over the contractual term of the note. Operating Supplies and Parts The Company values its operating supplies and parts generally at the lower of average cost or market. Federal Income Taxes The stockholders of Gordon Trucking, Inc. have elected to file federal income taxes using S corporation status. Under tax regulations for S corporations, Gordon Trucking, Inc. elects to have net income or losses reported on the tax returns of the individual stockholders. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. Air GTI, LLC; Cal S&S, LLC; S&S Wisconsin, LLC; S&S Illinois, LLC; S&S Idaho, LLC; and S&S Indy, LLC are all single-member LLCs. As such, all are disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Their activities are reported with the tax filing of their respective member. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. Gordon Richardson, LLC is not a tax paying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Its activity will be reported with the tax filing of its members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2009. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets Using management’s best estimates, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, long- lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in Thousands) Gordon Trucking, Inc. December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or lease term. Revenue equipment 5-10 years Other vehicles and other equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements 5-30 years The Company records the gain or loss resulting from disposal of equipment through a sale or as a result of involuntary conversion. Financial Instruments The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, and letters of credit. Management believes that the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value based on the short-term nature and expected realization of such accounts. The Company’s long-term financial instruments include long-term borrowings. Management has estimated that the fair value of the long-term borrowings approximates their carrying value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Concentration of Credit Risk and Certain Business Risks The Company is subject to certain business risks that could affect future operations and financial performance. For the year ended December 31, 2012, transportation services were provided to two significant customers, which accounted for 22 percent of freight revenue and 20 percent of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011, transportation services were provided to two significant customers, which accounted for 23 percent of freight revenue and 18 percent of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2010, transportation services to these same two customers accounted for 27 percent of freight revenue and 19 percent of accounts receivable. Use of Estimates Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include uninsured losses, depreciation and allowance for accounts receivable. (continued) 10
