Good morning, and welcome to our fourth quarter conference call. With me on the call today are Greg Gant, our president and CEO, and Adam Satterfield, our CFO. After some brief remarks, we will be glad to take your questions. I am pleased to report the strong financial results for Old Dominion's fourth quarter. For the third quarter in a row, we exceeded $1 billion in revenue and also produced an operating ratio below 80%. This performance capped off an extraordinary year for Old Dominion, setting new company records for annual revenue and profitability. Financial results for the quarter and the year reflect the consistent execution of our growth strategy. We believe our ongoing ability to win market share is based on a value proposition of providing superior service at a fair price to shippers while also continuously investing in our service center capacity to support our long-term growth. We also continue to invest in our OD family of employees and we are proud that our team provided customers with 99% on-time deliveries and a cargo claim ratio of only three-tenths of 1% of revenue for the fourth quarter. While there has been some recent disruption to the domestic economy associated with political issues, our outlook continues to be positive for 2019 based on feedback from our customers and other macroeconomic indexes. pricing environment remains favorable, and a strong domestic economy should support our ability to increase volumes and network density. Even though 2018 marked one of the best operating years in our company's history, we look forward to the opportunities for yet another year of continued growth in revenue and profitability in 2019. Now here's Greg to provide some more details on the fourth quarter.
