YELL & SIMN are both good choices. Some thoughts:

YELL...
If the economy starts to slow, then YELL could benefit with its emphasis on Partial truckloads. YELL seems to have a handle on labor costs for the next 5 years(was the Teamsters contract ratified?).TA wise the chart looks very good.

SIMN...
Well below book value so has the possibility of a takeover(I'll tell my friend, his close friend owns WERN<G>). I would think that spring/summer is good for cooler triucks so earnings should improve if they can get drivers. Sounds like they are trying but getting unqualified ones(increase in accidents).

Paul, TCMS is current 11 1/2 with book value almost 13. Earnings projected at $1 for 98, $1.50 for 99. Very little debt. Order backlog over $45 mil. What's your opinion?
