Thank you for joining Forward Air Corporation's First Quarter 2019 Earnings Release Conference Call.
Before we begin, I'd like to point out that both the press release and webcast presentation for this call are accessible on the Investor Relations section of Forward Air's website at www.forwardaircorp.com. With us this morning are CEO, Tom Schmitt, and CFO, Mike Morris. By now, you should have received a press release announcing our first quarter 2019 results which was furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and on the wire yesterday after the market close. Please be aware that, during the conference call, we will be making forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements, among others, regarding the company's outlook for the second quarter and fiscal year of 2019, the expected impact of growth and strategic initiatives, the expected impact of organizational restructuring, the expected impact of FSA acquisition and those forward-looking statements identified in the presentation.
