First Quarter Earnings to be released May 6th

gotta say...from my friend at USA, he's saying things are looking REALLY GOOD! Compared to when we both started, and left a year ago! Talked about the stock prices and everything...I've followed...it's looking good! Maybe that "USA blogger" will come on to elaborate more, as they always seem to! Being, they ARE a "trainer" and all...I don't see how one can be a "trainer" AND meet ALL the heads of the company at the same time! Point aside, things ARE FINALLY looking up for you fellows...ya got Cliff outta there!

 

Well I am not a blogger but I was a trainer and did happen to get walked around and introduced to everyone upstairs and downstairs all the way up to Cliff.

 

So your the one that fired Cliff. "Good Job".

 

But cash losses aren't decreasing man. There operating and leveraged free cash flow is down. WAY DOWN!!! They both used to be in positive territory but one is down and the other is in the negative.

 

Again..... micro cyclical. Be positive. It helps many to live longer.

ChickenLittles were professing the sky falling when looking at data compiled fall and winter. What are the worst months in truckin'? Give the May 10Q a chance and then remember much of it was still winter months.

Forsythia is blooming a lot of places........ Time to fish fer crappie and bass......... Kinda wishin' I was gettin' my fingers smelly. (wink) I may get home by next weekend.

Be safe.

 

Kinda funny....... We parked at a Wally store in Philly a couple days ago. My partner and I got phone calls last night telling us to move the equipment or it was going to get towed. LOL That is funny.

See!!!!!!!!!! USA is working hard at preserving assets and capital.

Better late than never.

 

USA improves in most catagories.......

Still ain't a turn but the water coming in is at a trickle. The market likes it.

 

2012 was a throw away year. Its not really a true measure. John Simone has to love coming in after a year like 2012 for this company. Improving financials for the first year of his tenure is all but a slam dunk. He could sit around eating tacos and have things improve after the 2012 train wreck.

 

Nonetheless...... an improvement when said there would be none. Increase in miles per tractor AND an increase in number of tractors to boot. There is nothing to beat tamborines about but the bleeding has slowed to little of nothing. Large ships do not turn on a dime. TACOS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I have my grievances when I have only been around USA for five weeks. But I do not cook on them. Lighten up. Live longer.

USA Truck beats by $0.04, misses on revs
