<div>WASHINGTON — Lawmakers officially kicked off efforts to mitigate — if not derail — the Biden administration's latest push to electrify the trucking industry during a hearing on Capitol Hill designed to spotlight challenges to powering up an electric grid capable of meeting the zero-emission timeline unveiled by federal regulators in late March.</div>

The hearing before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's highway subcommittee on Tuesday prefaced a Congressional Review Act joint resolution of disapproval expected to be introduced in the Senate on Wednesday.

If the resolution is approved by both houses of Congress and signed by the president — or if Congress can override the president's veto — the Environmental Protection Agency's Phase 3 greenhouse gas emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks would be overturned.

At Tuesday's hearing, the regulation's biggest supporter among a panel of four witnesses was optimistic that the U.S. would be able to meet EPA's zero-emission standards for truck manufacturers beginning with the 2027 model year.

"That's in part because the industry is stepping up" testified Nick Nigro, founder of Atlas Public Policy, which specializes in policy aimed at accelerating electric vehicle markets.

"The three truck manufacturers that make up nearly three-quarters of the medium- and heavy-duty market — Daimler Truck, Volvo Group, Navistar — aim to only sell zero emisson vehicles by 2040."

Those manufacturers and other companies, including trucking operators J.B. Hunt (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) and Pitt Ohio, formed an association earlier this year, Powering America's Commercial Transportation, focused on advancing zero-emission infrastructure.

"That appears to be the biggest barrier right now to truck deployment: making sure the infrastructure can get deployed as quickly as the trucks can be built" Nigro said.

He acknowledged user acceptance as another barrier, "as the trucking industry is known for its risk-averse approach to adopting new technologies" he stated in his written testimony. "Specifically, there is a misconception that zero-emission technologies are unproven in terms of durability and reliability, which has slowed down their adoption."

But he also noted that the lack of truck parking creates an opportunity to address both charging infrastructure and parking challenges.

"Investing in the development of truck parking facilities equipped with chargers and amenities, such as showers and convenience stores, can support the deployment of zero-emission trucks while improving driver comfort and safety."

<h2 id="h-pitt-ohio-s-ev-challenges">Pitt Ohio's EV challenges</h2>

Taki Darakos, vice president of vehicle maintenance at Pitt Ohio, testified on behalf of the American Trucking Associations, outlining some of the challenges his company has had as an early adopter of electric trucks. Just trying to add three megawatts of power at the company's Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, facility "has been an incredibly long process" Darakos said.

"When complete in early 2025 this power upgrade will have taken two years. Had we asked for more power [from the public utility], it would have pushed the lead time to five years. Looking over our network, we have 12 facilities that would make sense to start the infrastructure upgrade process. At those 12 facilities, we will be working with 10 different utility partners to make this happen."

Darakos also testified about issues with the trucks themselves, which, compared with diesel-engine trucks, can take much longer to repair, he said.

"My biggest concern is parking and having access to chargers over the road. Also, when you look at the hours-of-service rules, I can't imagine what a driver is going to go through. There are 10 chargers at a site, and sometime during their rest time they have to wake up and move their rig to allow someone else [to charge]."

<h2 id="h-truck-stops-fuel-marketers-want-more-incentives">Truck stops, fuel marketers want more incentives</h2>

Asked about the feasibility of the administration's zero-emissions goals from the perspective of truck stop operators and fuel marketers, Kim Okafor, speaking on their behalf as general manager at Love's Travel Stops, said that if demand is not there, investors will not want to participate in building the grid.

"We've done this before with the biodiesel market, having a two-sided [supply and demand] incentive structure" she said. "Without that, I think it will be a challenge to get there."

<div>Knight-Swift Transportation cut earnings expectations by 58% for the first half of the year on Wednesday, citing an oversupplied truck market, poor weather in January and a tough start to bid season.</div>

The company said adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter will range between 11 and 12 cents compared to a 39-cent outlook (at the midpoint of the guidance range) provided in late January. It is calling for adjusted EPS of 26 to 30 cents in the second quarter versus the previous 55-cent expectation (at the midpoint of the range).

Knight-Swift's (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/knx#NYSE">KNX</a>) new outlook for the first quarter includes an 8-cent-per-share loss associated with the shutdown of its third-party insurance business. That unit brokered liability coverage to small carriers. It struggled to collect premiums and endured unfavorable claims developments in recent quarters. In total, it lost $125 million last year, $72 million in the fourth quarter alone.

Shortly after the company announced it was shuttering the insurance business, CEO Dave Jackson stepped down. <script type="text/javascript">

 </script></div>
</div>

Analysts will likely add back the 8-cent hit to Knight-Swift's first-quarter result as the insurance unit is being disposed. That puts adjusted EPS at 19 to 20 cents for the quarter, compared to the current consensus estimate of 29 cents.

The consensus estimate for the second quarter was 48 cents on Tuesday.

Knight-Swift said it has had to put more equipment in the spot market as it has walked away from some contractual freight.

"The early part of the bid season led to greater than expected pressure on freight rates as some shippers are still trying to push rates down further. In some cases, we have lost contractual volumes because we were not willing to commit to further concessions on what we view as unsustainable contractual rates" a news release said. <script type="text/javascript">
 window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []};
 googletag.cmd.push(function() {
 googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot2', [[468, 60], [728, 90], [300, 100], [320, 50]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767472470-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads());

 </script></div>
</div>

Running more equipment in the spot market offers no rescue. Depressed spot rates are also weighing on total revenue per mile, and absent contractual commitments, equipment utilization metrics have moved lower. However, the company believes this is the best course as it positions the capacity to quickly react to any positive inflection.

It is forecasting a mid-90% operating ratio for the legacy TL business in the second quarter, with the acquired U.S. Xpress fleet seeing break-even results.

<a href="https://sonar.surf/chart"><img alt="" src="https://www.freightwaves.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/17/spot-rates-1200x414.jpg" /></a>

Chart: (SONAR: NTIL.USA). The National Truckload Index (linehaul only – NTIL) is based on an average of booked spot dry van loads from 250,000 lanes. The NTIL is a seven-day moving average of linehaul spot rates excluding fuel.

The logistics business is not only suffering from unfavorable demand and yield dynamics, but also as the company has "diverted loads to the asset division to partially offset the contractual volume losses." The logistics unit is expected to see 10% to 15% year-over-year (y/y) revenue growth due to the U.S. Xpress acquisition and an OR in the mid-90% range during the second quarter.

 </script></div>
</div>

The segment posted a 93.1% OR in the fourth quarter.

The release said its less-than-truckload unit continues to see y/y volume and yield growth, but operating income will be worse than expected due to its geographic concentration in regions most impacted by winter storms. It noted LTL volumes "normalized into March and April."

The second-quarter call for LTL is y/y revenue growth of 10% to 15% and a flat OR. (2023 second-quarter OR was 85.1%.)

Knight-Swift's intermodal business is "approaching breakeven during the quarter with revenues down slightly year-over-year."

The update comes one day after a big earnings miss from multimodal provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>). A tough bid season and elevated costs associated with carrying excess capacity to meet future demand were to blame for the miss.

Shares of KNX were off 4.6% at 10:21 a.m. EDT on Tuesday while shares of JBHT were down 7.6%. The S&amp;P 500 was up 0.1% at the time.

Why Travelers Shares Are Trading Lower By Around 8%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Mid-Day Session

Evercore ISI Group analyst Vijay Kumar maintains JB Hunt Transport Servs (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBHT#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) with a Outperform and lowers the price target from $218 to $199.

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on JB Hunt Transport Servs, Lowers Price Target to $199

<div>J.B. Hunt Transport Services (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbht#NASDAQ">JBHT</a>) said it would stay the course, increasing intermodal capacity ahead of demand to avoid the service failures the industry experienced during the pandemic. That means carrying a higher cost burden and potentially posting earnings misses like it did in the 2024 first quarter.</div>

The multimodal provider reported first-quarter earnings per share of $1.22 Tuesday after the market closed, 31 cents light of the consensus estimate and 67 cents lower year over year (y/y). A higher tax rate presented a 7-cent headwind while higher interest expense was a 1-cent headwind.

Intermodal revenue declined 9% y/y to $1.4 billion as revenue per load fell by a similar amount, with load counts flat with the prior year. Transcontinental loads were 5% higher y/y, largely due to a weaker comparison to the same period last year, while depressed truckload rates weighed on intermodal demand in the East, pushing volumes 7% lower.

Total intermodal traffic on the U.S. Class I railroads was 9% higher y/y in the quarter, according to the Association of American Railroads. J.B. Hunt's intermodal loads were down 2% y/y in January, up 3% in February and off 1% in March. The company noted price competition from both TL carriers and other intermodal providers. It pointed to a "disciplined approach" to pricing as an explanation for the loss in share. <script type="text/javascript">

Management reiterated a "long-term view" that the intermodal space will take share over time and said it's comfortable growing its fleet ahead of demand. J.B. Hunt currently has 20% excess container capacity and is roughly 30,000 units shy of a goal to grow its fleet to 150,000 units.

"When we're there to support our customer to grow the demand, it certainly bears fruit for our shareholders over the long term as those customers just gain more and more confidence in our ability to serve their needs, said Darren Field, president of intermodal services, on a Tuesday evening call with analysts.

The unit has repriced roughly 40% of its contracts for the current bid season, meaning pressure on rates will likely linger without a material change in market dynamics. Volumes were down 9% from the fourth quarter, which was worse than the normal seasonal trend. However, loads in the fourth quarter were ahead of normal seasonality. Yields fell 5% from the fourth quarter to the first.

"The problem is the negative dynamics that impacted 1Q results won't change that quickly given JBHT's longer pricing cycle and limited intermodal spot market opportunities" Deutsche Bank (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE">DB</a>) analyst Amit Mehrotra said in a Tuesday note to clients. <script type="text/javascript">

The intermodal segment reported a 92.7% operating ratio, which was 370 basis points worse y/y.

Table: J.B. Hunt's key performance indicators – Intermodal

Dedicated revenue dipped 2% y/y to $860 million as average trucks in service declined 1% and revenue per truck per week was off by a lesser amount. The unit saw some erosion in total truck needs from current customers as well as some customer bankruptcies, including its 10th-largest customer.

J.B. Hunt did sell dedicated service on 690 trucks in the quarter, "a lot stronger" than expected, after placing a total of 1,150 dedicated units last year. An 89.1% OR was just 80 bps worse y/y.

The brokerage unit reported a $17.5 million operating loss as loads fell 22% y/y and revenue per load was down 5%. The unit lost $15 million in the fourth quarter. Higher insurance expenses and integration costs from the acquisition of BNSF Logistics' brokerage business presented headwinds.

The final-mile segment saw operating income more than double to $15.1 million as revenue per stop increased 10% y/y. The result included a $3.1 million claims benefit.

The truckload segment was barely profitable as loads slid 5% y/y and yields declined 9%.

Shares of JBHT were down 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.
