Total Transportation revenues increased 24.3 percent to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2010 from $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2009.

Purchased products sourced for resale increased 18.0 percent in the first quarter of 2010 to $387.7 million from $328.6 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Our Information Services revenue increased 23.1 percent to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2010 from $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2009.
