The group also called into question the timing of Forward's earnings announcement, suggesting that it delayed reporting until after the period for nominating directors to the board had passed. Ancora wants changes made to Forward's capital allocation strategy as well as changes to the management team and board.

Following scrutiny from an activist investor group, which includes the company's founder and former CFO, management at asset-light trucking and logistics company Forward Air (NASDAQ: FWRD ) doubled down on its approach to the business during its fourth-quarter call with analysts Friday. The investor group led by Ancora Advisors issued an open letter to shareholders Wednesday, voicing discontent with the current direction of the company and announcing its decision to nominate four candidates for election to the board. The letter followed weeks of dialogue between investors and the board, which were unable to reach an agreement. At the core, the group has concerns with Forward's capital allocation strategy, which has continued to diversify beyond the company's legacy airport-to-airport expedited trucking offering. Specifically, the group believes investments and acquisitions in drayage and intermodal are driving margins and returns lower. Forward's core expedited less-than-truckload offering has seen operating ratios deteriorate, while competitors are seeing improvement.

In an open letter to shareholders on Wednesday, activist investor Ancora Advisors announced that it has nominated four candidates for election to the board of asset-light trucking and logistics company Forward Air (NASDAQ: FWRD ). After unsuccessful discussions between the board and the investor group, which also includes Forward's founder Scott Niswonger and former CFO Andy Clarke, it appears a proxy battle is now in the works. The letter asserts Forward has the potential to be a "best-in-class asset-light transportation company" as it operates one of the largest linehaul networks in North America. However, it "has been hampered by a board that has provided poor operational oversight, pursued an ineffective capital allocation strategy focused on acquisitions of margin- and return-dilutive service offerings and failed to optimize the company's balance sheet." A December SEC filing revealed that the activist group led by Ancora had acquired a 5.3% — $89.5 million — stake in the company with plans to make changes to the company's capital allocation strategy and divest noncore assets as well as make changes to the management team and board.
