Rush, chairman, president, and CEO of Rush Enterprises, discussed the company's performance and industry conditions during recent earnings calls and an appearance at the Gabelli Automotive Symposium. He described a six-month period from April through September as the worst order intake since 2009, noting that original equipment manufacturers reduced production and implemented shutdown days. He stated that the company had been in a freight recession for three years, which he said was longer than typical, and expressed concerns about unemployment and the potential effects of tariffs on demand. He also mentioned that the company had added $50 million to a capital allocation program, with approximately $75 million remaining to spend. In a 2013 presentation, Rush reflected on his career and the founding of the company, stating that he set lifetime goals at age 20, including becoming a General Motors dealer, owning a bank, and taking a company public. He described Rush Enterprises as the first franchise motor vehicle dealer in the United States to go public and recounted that General Motors subsequently sent a letter saying the company had violated its principles, which led to a buyback of new trucks, parts, and signs.
