POSITION In the past 12 months, FleetNet has provided services to: GROWTH A shortage of mechanical expertise causes customers to look for alternatives • 90% of equipment owners manage maintenance internally • 27% of the Top 100 largest for-hire fleets (supporting 3 of the Top 6) 20% of the Top 100 largest private fleets (supporting 3 of the Top 6) • 85

Impact of Innovation & Technology FleetNet offers technological interaction through enhanced connectivity and integration with clients. FleetNet provides digital exchange of information with clients and vendors on roadside events and maintenance programs. FleetNet enhances the services it offers by collecting, classifying and analyzing equipment and maintenance data in order to lower costs and improve processes. 86

Impact of Innovation & Technology Most clients have integrated computer solutions with FleetNet systems that provide real-time equipment status information to ensure repairs occur within specified delivery windows. Progressive clients with robust in-cab computer solutions have FleetNet monitor their engine fault codes remotely for more specific problem resolution. This facilitates speed and accuracy in executing emergency roadside repairs. 87

Powerfully Positioned Specific technology utilization enabling unique customer handling requirements, timely communications, data enrichment and more Long-term relationships with its third-party service provider base An experienced, dedicated staff, many with maintenance expertise, ensuring excellent equipment compliance and reduced operating costs 88

Customer Solutions One of FleetNet’s for-hire fleets was able to increase their equipment up-time and reduce their maintenance events by 30% by allowing FleetNet to manage their emergency roadside events. A for-hire fleet uses our services as a backup for their own internal roadside management center. In numerous instances, FleetNet is able to arrange for a supplier who had previously turned down the fleet customer. During a severe winter, FleetNet team members often focused on rescuing drivers from the extreme cold in addition to over-seeing equipment repairs. 89

Multiemployer Pension ABF Freight’s Multiemployer Pension Plans (MEPP) • • Many details and historical information can be found in our regulatory filings. KEY POINTS FOR TODAY: • ABF Freight contributes to 25 MEPPS, which have various levels of underfunding, and half of these plans’ benefits payments are for retirees of companies no longer contributing. We have always paid our full contributions. About half of ABF Freight Teamsters are enrolled in the underfunded Central States Plan. Our contribution rates are set until the expiration of our current labor agreement in 2018. Significant legislative progress was made in 2014 to remove many of the risks associated with Central States and provide a greater degree of certainty for ABF Freight going forward. • • • • 125

Multiemployer Pension Specific Positive Developments that Provide a Path to Resolution and Greater Certainty: 1. Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 provides trustees of financially distressed union pension plans self-correct options that include: • The ability to adjust benefit levels to match plan assets • The potential to partition plan “orphan” obligations and an agreeable amount of fund assets to the PBGC 2. Ten years following trustee plan changes, MPRA 2014 provides for potential contributor withdrawal at a reduced withdrawal liability amount 3. Central States Plan submitted a proposed pension rescue plan to U.S. Department of the Treasury in September 2015 • Goal is for participants to receive benefits based primarily on the amount of contributions made by their employers Continued participation with lower pension credit for future service Gradual phase-out of early retirement without benefit reductions Implementation estimated to be in July 2016 • • • 126
