BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Forward Air Corporation provides surface transportation and related logistics services to the North American deferred air freight market. The company operates in two segments, Forward Air, Inc. and Forward Air Solutions, Inc. Forward Air, Inc. operates as a contractor to the air cargo industry providing time-definite ground transportation services through a network of 82 terminals located on or near major airports in the United States and Canada. It provides these services as an alternative to air transportation of cargo that must be delivered at a specific time but is relatively less time-sensitive than traditional air freight or when air transportation is not economical. Forward Air Solutions, Inc. provides pool distribution services. Pool distribution involves the consolidation and shipment of various smaller less-than-truckload shipments to a common area or region. This segment deconsolidates the loads at the regional destination, then groups with other shipments with common delivery points, and delivers in a time-sensitive manner. Its pool distribution network consists of 19 terminals within the mid-Atlantic, southeast, Midwest, and southwestern United States. The company was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Greeneville, Tennessee.
