Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company”), began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in 1956. Since that time, we have become a worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment, specialized modular science buildings and steel cutting tools.

We, together with our subsidiaries, are a short-to-medium haul truckload carrier (predominately 500 miles or less per load). We operate our consolidated operations under the brand names of Heartland Express and Millis Transfer. We primarily provide nationwide asset-based dry van truckload service for major shippers from Washington to Florida and New England to California. Approximately 99.9% of our operating revenue is derived from shipments within the United States ("U.S.") with the remainder being Canada. We do not have any operations in Mexico. We focus on providing high quality service to targeted customers with a high density of freight in our regional operating areas. We also offer limited temperature-controlled truckload services, which are not significant to our operations and have been reduced to serving select dedicated customers specifically in the western part of the U.S. since 2019. Further, we do not operate a non-asset-based freight brokerage business. We generally earn revenue based on the number of miles per load delivered and the revenue per mile paid. We believe the keys to success are maintaining high levels of customer service and safety, which are generally predicated on the availability of experienced drivers and late-model equipment. We believe that our service standards, safety record, and equipment accessibility have made us a core carrier to many of our major customers, as well as allowed us to build solid, long-term relationships with customers and brand ourselves as an industry leader for on-time service.
