Planes, Trains, &...Trucks

Disclaimer: This newsletter is not investment advice.

FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION is going to be the topic 24/7, as told from the lens of an investor. Now, moving brown boxes around might sound boring to you, but I’m going to try my best to make it…less boring. We’ll delve into business model analysis and philosophy, and I’ll try to sprinkle in some GIFs for good measure.

My name is Vanck, and I really love the freight transports sector and covered it for a few years on the sell side. I’m starting this newsletter because there’s a gap for deep fundamental analysis of intermediate- to longer-term trends in a manner relevant to investors and operators.

Here’s a couple of free-ish historical resources I’ve put out on this topic:

1.       A compilation of $EXPD’s amusing Reg FD 8-Ks that I shared via Twitter:

I've aggregated 15 years of excerpts from $EXPD 8-Ks in this doc. EXPD pays very little attention to Wall St, preferring to focus on their business and answering questions via ~quarterly 8-Ks. One of my favorite companies, though I don't own any today.

2.       A Tweetstorm on $AAWW:

1/ Thread: Noticed that Greenlight is holding $AAWW. Thought I'd share a bit more details on the airfreight industry and the current environment.
