A recessions a coming this summer and high oil prices are not going away since the falling dollar is to blame, and continued inflation is not going to bring the value of the dollar up any time soon. Burnanke was not helping this country by bailing out the crust of American society. Also, Bush's stimulus package didn't help the upward inflationary pressure that is killing this countries middle class. Sorry about my rant but anyway my point is to sell trucking since rail is about to take over from the high price of fuel.

very little debt, now adding dividend, a nice Fool article, and a nice set of owners, including Dimensional and Royce. price-to-book of 1.25. price-to-cash flow less than half that of trucking in general, and their margins generally beat the industry. cap < 200M. seems like a good small value pick.

A change of leadership...

Frozen Food Express (FFEX) operates as the largest publicly owned temperature controlled trucking company in the North America, offering full truckload line haul, less than truckload, freight brokerage and dedicated fleets services. It transports consumable commodities like meat, poultry, seafood, ice, confectionaries, dairy products and various other products in both refrigerator and non-refrigerator segment.
In the US, 97% of the trucking industry is non-refrigerated. FFEX is the only carrier offering any combination of refrigerated or dry full-truckload and less-than-truckload service. For nine months of September 2006, full truck, less than truckload and other services contributed 53%, 26% and 21% of revenues, respectively.
Transportation sector is directly affected by the shipping demand. High-volume shippers tend to lower their total cost structures by reducing their private carriage capabilities by turning to common contract carriers for their transportation needs. Private carriage accounts for more than 40% of the total temperature-controlled portion of the motor carrier industry. The refrigerated trucking industry is worth $ 8-9 billion by the end of 2005
For nine months the company revenues dipped marginally on account of soft market. However the company expects the freight market to bounce back in 2007. FFEX also plans to increase the freight rates in 2007, given the fact that demand remains favorable. With new management in place, the shares of Frozen Food Express Industries offer a good opportunity for long-term investors.

great leadership making good decisions in a tough transportation industry. focus on refrigerated shipments is a niche.

Was cheap, now it's overpriced. The frozen food is still frozen.

If I had cash I'd buy some more. FFEX looks very good and solid. At these prices a real opportunity.
Recs
This company has solid financials, but was kicked down quite a bit after an accounting mishap. But the CFO is gone and that's all behind them now. Currently trading for about 10 times earnings, and in a business (less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping) that is always has demand, I think it's worth a shot.
