- 2. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We forecast gross revenue of $630.5 million (+23.7% YOY). Guidance is $610-650 million (up 20-28% FactSet consensus is $634.8 million. We believe that Q3/18 growth continued to benefit from relatively favorable market conditions, including solid freight demand and constrained trucking capacity (supported by ongoing driver shortages in a tight labor market). Gross revenue growth in Q3/18 likely continued to benefit from higher truckload rates resulting from these market conditions. The average of weekly van rates published by DAT Trendlines in Q3/18 increased 20% versus last year’s third quarter average. However, the magnitude of year-over-year increases moderated throughout the quarter as year-over-year comparisons became more difficult and as rates came down from record highs reached in July."
