adverse changes in debt ratings, changes in accounting assumptions, adequacy
of accounting accruals, changes in general economic conditions, availability
of heavy- and medium-duty vehicles, increases in fuel prices, availability of
qualified drivers, the Company's ability to create operating synergies in
connection with its acquisitions of Ruan and General, and changes in
