The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In ~~management~~’smanagement’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, ~~2016~~2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the ~~nine-month~~three-month period ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2017.~~2020. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2019.

NOTE B:B: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In ~~May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update, (“ASU”) No.~~ ~~2014-09, (“ASU 2014-09”),~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~. The objective of ASU 2014-09 and subsequent amendments is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the new guidance, an entity will (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”). The new guidance, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies. Early adoption is not permitted prior to annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09.

~~The Company has performed an analysis of the effects of adopting this guidance. The analysis included the following items:~~

~~● identifying what constitutes a contract within the Company’s business practices,~~

~~● identifying performance obligations within our contracts,~~

~~● determining transaction prices,~~

~~● allocating the transaction price to performance obligations,~~

~~● determination of when performance obligations are satisfied and revenue is earned,~~

~~● disaggregation of revenue by source within segments, and~~

~~● principal versus agent considerations.~~

~~Based upon~~ our evaluation, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and subsequent amendments will result in additional note disclosures regarding the nature of the Company’s contracts with customers and the Company’s significant judgments regarding the application of these standards. However, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

~~In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, (“ASU 2016-01”),~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities~~. The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. With certain exceptions, early adoption is not permitted.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~The Company has performed a preliminary analysis of the effects of adopting this guidance. This analysis consisted of the following items:~~

●

~~categorize securities as either equity securities or debt securities,~~

●

~~determine which securities held by the Company have readily determinable fair values,~~

●

~~determine that the exit price notion will be used when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes,~~

●

~~consider the need for a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset on available-for-sale securities in combination with the Company’s other deferred tax assets.~~

~~Based upon this evaluation, the adoption of this guidance~~ is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or cash flows, but it is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations through the recognition of changes in market value each reporting period rather than recognizing them through comprehensive income.

~~In February~~ ~~2016,~~March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2016-02,~~2020-04, (“ASU ~~2016-02”~~2020-04”), ~~Leases~~Reference Rate Reform (Topic ~~842)~~~~. This update seeks~~848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 was issued to ~~increase~~provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the ~~transparency~~potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated the provisions of this standard and ~~comparability among entities by requiring public entities~~determined that it is applicable to ~~recognize lease assets~~our line of credit and ~~lease liabilities~~investment margin account. The London Interbank Offered Rate “LIBOR” is the basis for interest charges on ~~the balance sheet~~outstanding borrowings for both our line of credit and ~~disclose key information about leasing arrangements. To satisfy the standard’s objective, a lessee will recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right~~investment margin account. The scheduled discontinuation of LIBOR is not expected to ~~use the underlying asset~~materially alter any provisions of either of these debt instruments, except for the ~~lease term and~~identification of a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments. Both the right-of-use asset and lease liability will initially be measured at the present value of the lease payments, with subsequent measurement dependent on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Accounting by lessors will remain mostly unchanged from current U.S. GAAP.

In transition, lessees and lessors will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that companies may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset. The transition guidance also provides specific guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, build-to-suit leases, leveraged leases, and amounts previously recognized in accordance with the business combinations guidance for leases. The new standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December ~~15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.~~replacement reference rate. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash ~~flows since the Company’s current leases will expire prior to the effective date of this guidance.~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-09”),~~ ~~Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)~~. ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liability, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows.ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2017, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, (“ASU 2016-13”), Accounting for Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments. The standard also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires estimated credit losses to be recorded as allowances instead of reductions to the amortized cost of the securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ~~Company is evaluating the new~~adoption of this guidance ~~but does~~on January 1, 2020 did not ~~expect it to~~ have a material impact on ~~its~~the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE C: REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company has a single performance obligation, to transport our customer’s freight from a specified origin to a specified destination. The Company has the discretion to choose to self-transport or to arrange for alternate transportation to fulfill the performance obligation. Where the Company decides to self-transport the freight, the Company classifies the service as truckload services, and where the Company arranges for alternate transportation of the freight, the Company classifies the service as brokerage and logistics services. In either case, the Company is paid a rate to transport freight from its origin location to a specified destination. Because the primary factors influencing revenue recognition, including performance obligation, customer base, and timing of revenue recognition, are the same for both of its service categories, the Company utilizes the same revenue recognition method throughout its operations.

Company revenue is generated from freight transportation services performed utilizing heavy truck trailer combinations. While various ownership arrangements may exist for the equipment utilized to perform these services, including Company owned or leased, owner-operator owned, and third-party carriers, revenue is generated from the same base of customers. Contracts with these customers establish rates for services performed, which are predominantly rates that will be paid to pick up, transport and drop off freight at various locations. In addition to transportation, revenue is also awarded for various accessorial services performed in conjunction with the base transportation service. The Company also has other revenue categories that are not discussed in this note or broken out in our Statements of Operations due to their immaterial amounts.

In ~~August 2016,~~fulfilling the ~~FASB issued ASU~~ ~~No. 2016-15, (“ASU 2016-15”),~~ ~~Statement~~Company’s obligation to transport freight from a specified origin to a specified destination, control of ~~Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification~~freight is transferred to us at the point it has been loaded into the driver’s trailer, the doors are sealed and the driver has signed a bill of ~~Certain Cash Receipts~~lading, which is the basic transportation agreement that establishes the nature, quantity and ~~Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 amends~~condition of the ~~guidance~~freight loaded, responsibility for invoice payment, and pickup and delivery locations. Our revenue is generated, and our customer receives benefit, as the freight progresses towards delivery locations. In the event our customer cancels the shipment at some point prior to the final delivery location and re-consigns the shipment to an alternate delivery location, we are entitled to receive payment for services performed for the partial shipment. Shipments are generally conducted over a relatively short time span, generally one to three days; however, freight is sometimes stored temporarily in ~~ASC 230, Statement~~our trailer at one of ~~Cash Flows,~~our drop yard locations or at a location designated by a customer.

The Company has evaluated the effects of adopting ASU 2016-15 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.same freight transportation services, discussed further below.

ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires application using a retrospective transition method.

Fuel Surcharge Revenue – revenue designed to adjust freight revenue rates to an agreed upon base cost for diesel fuel. Diesel fuel prices can fluctuate widely during the term of a contract with a customer. At the point that freight revenue rates are negotiated with customers, a sliding scale is agreed upon that approximately adjusts diesel fuel costs to an agreed upon base amount.

NOTE CD: MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES

~~The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320, (“ASC Topic 320”),~~ ~~Investments-Debt and Equity Securities~~~~. ASC Topic 320 requires companies to classify their investments as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.~~ The Company’s investments in marketable securities ~~are classified as available-for-sale and~~ consist of equity ~~securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of these~~ securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. There were no reclassifications of marketable securities between trading and available-for-sale categories during the first nine months of 2017 or 2016.with readily determinable fair values. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method, and interest and dividends on securities are included in non-operating ~~income~~ (expense). income.

Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with ~~the unrealized~~ gains and losses ~~net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income~~ in ~~shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in~~fair market value ~~judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities, if any, are~~ included in the determination of net income. ~~A quarterly evaluation~~The fair value of marketable equity securities is ~~performed~~determined based on quoted market prices in ~~order to judge whether declines~~active markets, as described in value below cost should be considered temporary and when losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Several factors are considered in this evaluation process including the severity and duration of the decline in value, the financial condition and near-term outlook for the specific issuer and the Company’s ability to hold the securities.

~~For the quarter ended~~ September 30, 2017, the evaluation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $15,000 in the Company’s non-operating income (expense) in its statement of operations. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the evaluation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $176,000 in the Company’s non-operating income (expense) in its statement of operations.

~~For the~~ nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the evaluation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $42,000 in the Company’s non-operating income (expense) in its statement of operations. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, the evaluation resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $709,000 in the Company’s non-operating income (expense) in its statement of operations.

NOTE DE: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains a stock incentive plan (the “Plan”) under which incentive and nonqualified stock options and other stock awards may be granted. ~~On March 2, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted, and shareholders later approved, the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”).~~ Under the ~~2006~~ Plan, 750,000 shares were reserved for the issuance of stock options to directors, officers, key employees, and others. The option exercise price under the 2006 Plan is the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. The fair market value is determined by the average of the highest and lowest sales prices for a share of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option is granted. On March 13, 2014, the Board adopted, and on May 29, 2014 our shareholders approved, the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which replaced the 2006 Plan. The shares which remained reserved under the 2006 Plan were carried over to the 2014 Plan and are reserved for the issuance of stock awards to directors, officers, key employees, and others. The stock option exercise price and the restricted stock purchase price under the ~~2014~~ Plan shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is granted. The fair market value is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or award is granted.

Outstanding nonqualified stock options granted to members of the Board vested immediately while outstanding nonqualified stock options issued to employees vest in increments of 20% to 33% each year.

~~During~~In January 2020, the ~~first~~ ~~nine months of 2017, 4,298~~Company granted 7,000 shares of common stock ~~were granted~~ to ~~non-employee directors under the 2014 Plan and 100,000 shares of common~~certain key employees. These stock ~~were granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The stock awarded to non-employee directors had~~awards have a grant date fair value of ~~$16.29~~$56.45 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and vest on the fourth anniversary date in January 2024.

In March 2020, the Company granted 2,608 shares of common stock to non-employee directors. These stock awards have a grant date fair value of $30.75 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and vested immediately. The stock awarded to the Chief Executive Officer had a grant date fair value of $16.38 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, with 33% of the award vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant for the next three years.

The total grant date fair value of stock ~~and stock options~~ vested during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017~~2020 was approximately ~~$186,000.~~$80,000.

NOTE H: ~~EARNINGS~~NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding by common stock equivalents attributable to dilutive stock options. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

NOTE M: LEASESN~~: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

In ~~October 2017, our Board~~Adoption of ~~Directors authorized~~ASU 2016-02

The Company currently leases shop, office and parking spaces in various locations in the ~~repurchase~~United States and Mexico. The initial term for the majority of upthese leases is one year or less, with an option for early cancellation and an option to ~~400,000 shares~~renew for subsequent one-month periods. These leases can be terminated by either party by providing notice to the other party of ~~our common stock through a Dutch auction tender offer (the “2017 tender offer”). Subject~~the intent to ~~certain limitations and legal requirements,~~cancel or to not extend. Relatively short lease durations for these properties are intended to provide flexibility to the Company ~~could repurchase up~~as changing operational needs and shifting opportunities often result in cancellation or non-renewal of these leases by the Company or the lessor.

The initial lease term for certain shop and office locations is for periods ranging from one to anfive years with early cancellation options. The Company prefers that leases include early cancellation provisions to prevent becoming locked into long term leases that become operationally unjustified and to allow the flexibility to pursue more cost-effective options for similar properties if they become available. These leases often include the option to extend for additional 2%periods, which may or may not be exercised. Based on historical experience, the Company does not always extend these leases, sometimes exercises the option to cancel leases early and sometimes lessors choose to cancel leases or not extend.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and related amendments on January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach and elected to apply the practical expedients outlined above. This election allowed the Company to continue to recognize lease expense for operating leases for which the initial term was twelve months or less, or for which it is reasonably likely that early cancellation provisions will be exercised, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of ~~its outstanding shares which totals 126,060 shares.~~ the leases.

The ~~2017 tender offer commenced on October 10, 2017~~Company leases trucks to owner-operators under our lease-to-own program. We also lease dock space to a related party at our Laredo, Texas terminal. We have reviewed these operating leases and ~~expires on November 7, 2017, unless~~determined that the ~~offer~~adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not require a change to our financial statements, as our method of accounting for related assets and lease revenue is ~~extended. Through this tender offer,~~consistent with the provisions of the new standard.

Because the Company’s ~~shareholders~~historical method of accounting for leases is consistent with the provisions of ASU 2016-02, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the ~~opportunity to tender some~~Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or ~~all of their shares at a price within the range of $27.00 to $30.00 per share.~~cash flows.

Right-of-Use Leases

Following the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related amendments on January 1, 2019, the Company entered into operating leases which include initial terms ranging from three to five years and which do not include an option for early cancellation. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 842, these leases resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding right-of-use lease liabilities, respectively, valued at $2.0 million as of March 31, 2020. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as of the respective dates of lease inception, as the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable. The right-of-use assets are recorded in other assets, and the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities and in other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in rent and purchased transportation in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the lease agreements contain provisions to extend after the initial term for an additional five years, the Company is not reasonably certain these extension options will be exercised. Therefore, potential lease payments that might occur under this extension period are not included in amounts recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020.

Scheduled amounts and timing of cash flows arising from future right-of-use operating lease payments at March 31, 2020, are:

Lessor Disclosures under ASC Topic 842

The Company leases trucks to independent contractors under operating leases, which generally have a term of up to five years and include options to purchase the truck at the end of the lease. In the event that an independent contractor defaults on their lease, the Company generally leases the truck to another independent contractor.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2020, the gross carrying value of trucks underlying these leases was $60.8 million and accumulated depreciation was $28.2 million. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the equipment, down to an estimated salvage value. In most cases, the Company has agreements in place with certain manufacturers whereby salvage values are guaranteed by the manufacturer. In other cases, where salvage values are not guaranteed, estimates of salvage value are based on the expected market values of equipment at the time of disposal. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $1.9 million of depreciation expense for these assets.

The Company leases dock space to a related party at a Laredo, Texas terminal and warehouse and office space to a lessee at a second Laredo, Texas terminal. The dock space and the warehouse and office space leased is depreciated in conjunction with the structures and improvements for the respective Laredo terminals on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Lease income is recorded as a component of Non-operating income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2019.

The ~~Company~~’sCompany’s administrative headquarters are in Tontitown, Arkansas. From this location we manage operations conducted through ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiaries based in various locations around the United States and in Mexico and Canada. The operations of these subsidiaries can generally be classified into either truckload services or brokerage and logistics services. This designation is based primarily on the ownership of the asset that performed the freight transportation service. Truckload services ~~include those transportation services in which we~~are performed by Company divisions that generally utilize ~~company~~Company owned trucks, long-term contractors, or ~~owner-operator owned trucks. Brokerage~~single-trip contractors to transport loads of freight for customers, while brokerage and logistics services ~~consist~~coordinate or facilitate the transport of ~~services such as transportation scheduling, routing, mode selection, transloading and other value added services related to the transportation~~loads of freight ~~which may or may not~~for customers and generally involve the ~~usage~~utilization of ~~company owned or owner-operator owned equipment.~~single-trip contractors. Both our truckload operations and our ~~brokerage/~~brokerage and logistics operations have similar economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors as discussed elsewhere in this ~~report. All of the Company’s operations are in the motor carrier segment.~~Report.

For both operations, substantially all of our revenue is generated by transporting freight for customers and is predominantly affected by the rates per mile received from our customers, equipment utilization, and our percentage of non-compensated miles. These aspects of our business are carefully managed, and efforts are continuously underway to achieve favorable results. Truckload services revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, represented ~~85.3% and 88.9%~~81.7% of total revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016, respectively. Truckload services revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, represented 87.2% and 88.1% of total revenues, excluding fuel surcharges,~~81.6% for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.~~March 31, 2019. The remaining revenues, excluding fuel surcharges, were generated from brokerage and logistics services.

The main factors that impact our profitability on the expense side are costs incurred in transporting freight for our customers. Currently,, our most challenging costs include fuel, driver recruitment, training, wage and benefits costs, independent broker costs (which we record as purchased transportation), insurance, maintenance and capital equipment costs.

In discussing our results of operations,, we use revenue, before fuel surcharge (and fuel expense, net of fuel surcharge), because management believes that eliminating the impact of this sometimes volatile source of revenue allows a more consistent basis for comparing our results of operations from period to period. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016,~~2019, approximately ~~$15.4~~$17.3 million and ~~$13.5 million, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue was generated from fuel surcharges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately $46.8 million and $36.0~~$18.3 million, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue was generated from fuel surcharges. We may also discuss certain changes in our expenses as a percentage of revenue, before fuel surcharge, rather than absolute dollar changes. We do this because we believe the variable cost nature of certain expenses makes a comparison of changes in expenses as a percentage of revenue more meaningful than absolute dollar changes.

The Company’s primary concern during the COVID-19 pandemic is to do its part to protect its employees, customers, vendors and the general public from the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to serve the vital role of supplying essential goods to the nation. Where possible, our employees are working remotely from their homes. For essential functions, including our driving professionals, we have distributed cleaning and protective supplies to various terminals so that they are available to those that need them, increased cleaning frequency and coverage, and provided employees direction on precautionary measures, such as sanitizing truck interiors, personal hygiene, and social distancing. We will continue to adapt our operations as required to ensure safety while continuing to provide a high level of service to our customers.

As the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic has extended into the second quarter, the Company has experienced the increasing effects of weakening economic conditions, most notably the late March COVID-19 related shutdown of automotive customers, representing approximately 45% of the Company’s revenue. While we have vigorously sought to replace lost automotive revenue with freight from customers supporting the effort to supply essential goods to the nation, competition for this freight has increased as industry capacity has collectively focused on freight that has continued to move during this time. Based on reports from the auto industry, we are optimistic that production will resume soon, returning a large portion of our lost revenue. However, the ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on the Company’s financial and operating results, which could be material, will be determined by the length of time the pandemic continues, its continued severity, government regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, and to its general effect on the economy and transportation demand.

While operating cash flows may be negatively impacted by the pandemic, the Company believes we will be able to finance our near term needs for working capital over the next twelve months, as well as any planned capital expenditures during such period, with cash balances, cash flows from operations, and borrowings believed to be available from financing sources.

The following table sets forth, for truckload services, the percentage relationship of expense items to operating revenues, before fuel surcharges, for the periods indicated. Fuel costs are reported net of fuel surcharges.

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2017,~~2020, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, ~~decreased 6.5%~~increased 1.4% to ~~$79.7~~$91.3 million as compared to ~~$85.3~~$90.0 million during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016.~~2019. The ~~decrease~~increase in revenue was primarily the ~~net~~ result of ~~a 1% increase~~increases in our average fleet size and average rate per ~~total~~ mile ~~combined with an 8% decrease in the number of miles traveled from 60.8 million miles~~charged to our customers during the ~~third~~first quarter ~~of 2016~~2020 compared to ~~56.4 million during~~ the ~~third~~first quarter of 2017. The decrease in miles resulted from decreases in the number of trucks operated, equipment utilization and work days. The average number of trucks operating in the fleet decreased from 1,882 trucks during the third quarter of 2016 to 1,808 trucks during the third quarter of 2017, while the average miles traveled per truck each workday decreased from 505 miles during the third quarter of 2016 to 495 miles during the third quarter of 2017. The decreases in truck count and average daily utilization resulted in2019. These increases were partially offset by a ~~3.5 million~~ decrease in the total number of miles ~~traveled during~~driven per truck for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2017~~2020 compared to the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016. One less revenue day in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 accounted for an approximate 0.9 million reduction in miles.~~2019.

The ~~decrease~~increase relates primarily to ~~a decrease~~an increase in company driver wages paid during ~~the third quarter of 2017 as~~2020 compared to ~~company~~2019. The increase in driver wages ~~paid during the third quarter of 2016. Our driver pool consists of both company drivers and third-party owner operator drivers. Company drivers are employees of the Company and perform services~~relates primarily to route specific pay increases that were phased in company-owned equipment while owner-operator drivers provide services, under contract, using their own equipment. While each group is generally compensated on a per-mile basis, owner-operator payments are classified in the Company’s financial statements under Rent and purchased transportation. The decrease in Salaries, wages and benefits primarily resulted from a decrease inthroughout 2019.

This proportional decrease was the result of an increase in the average number of owner-operators under contract from 567 during the third quarter of 2016 to 648 during the third quarter of 2017. Also contributing to the decrease was a decrease in group health insurance claims expensed under the Company’s self-insured health plan during the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

This increase in miles driven by company drivers has the effect of increasing our net operating supplies and expenses while decreasing the Rent and purchased transportation category, as fuel surcharge revenue generated from transportation services performed by owner-operators is reflected as a reduction in net operating supplies and expenses, while fuel surcharges paid to owner-operators for their services is reported along with their base rate of pay in the Rent and purchased transportation category. ~~These categorizations have the effect of reducing our net operating supplies and expenses while increasing the~~

Rent and purchased transportation ~~category,~~decreased from 30.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2019 to 26.9% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of loads transported by third party carriers during the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019. This decrease occurred as ~~discussed below.~~the average number of company-owned trucks increased for the first quarter 2020 compared to the first quarter 2019, providing additional company-owned capacity and diminishing the need to utilize third party carriers.

Depreciation increased from 14.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2019 to 15.6% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2020. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in the average number of trucks and trailers in our fleet for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Insurance and claims expense decreased from 4.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2019 to 0.0% of revenues before fuel surcharges, during the first quarter of 2020. This decrease primarily resulted from the settlement during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 of a lawsuit brought against the Company by individuals who asserted they were misclassified as owner-operators. The amount of the settlement was less than the amount previously reserved for the suit. Also contributing to the decrease was a ~~decrease~~reduction in ~~amounts~~auto liability insurance premiums, as the Company became self-insured for certain layers of auto liability claims in excess of $1.0 million commencing September 1, 2019. During the first three months of 2019, the Company paid for ~~driver recruiting and driver training schools during the third quarter~~auto liability insurance coverage for claims in excess of ~~2017 as compared to amounts paid during third quarter of 2016.~~$1.0 million through various third-party insurance carriers.

The increase in costs in this category, as it relates~~related to the ~~increase~~exploration of a potential acquisition and certain litigation described in owner-operators, is partially offset by a decrease in other cost categories, such as repairs and fuel, which are generally borne by the owner-operator. A decrease in amounts paid for equipment leases offset a portion of the increase from owner operators. This decrease resulted from the scheduled expiration of several leases during the third quarter of 2017. The remaining operating leases expire during the fourth quarter 2017 and the first quarter 2018.

~~Depreciation increased from 11.9% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2016~~Note L to 12.7% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2017. The percentage-based increase relates to the interaction of the fixed-cost characteristic of depreciation expense with a decrease in revenues for the periods compared.

~~Gains~~ and losses on sale or disposal of property decreased from a net gain of 1.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2016 to a net loss of 0.2% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2017. The decrease relates primarily to fewer trailers being sold during the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

~~Non-operating income increased from 1.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2016 to 3.2% of revenues, before~~ fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2017.

~~For the~~ nine months ended September 30, 2017, truckload services revenue, before fuel surcharges, decreased 3.9% to $244.3 million as compared to $254.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in the average rate charged to customers for our services, to a decrease in the number of trucks operated, and to one less work day in the 2017 period. The average rate charged to customers per total mile during the first nine months of 2017 decreased 2.0% as compared to the average rate charged during the first nine months of 2016. The average number of trucks operating in the fleetNon-operating (expense)/income decreased from 1,897 trucks in the 2016 period to 1,869 trucks in the 2017 period and decreased revenue by approximately $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The loss of one business day in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016 resulted in an approximate $1.3 million decrease in revenue.

Company drivers are employees of the Company and perform services in company-owned equipment while owner-operator drivers provide services, under contract, using their own equipment. While each group is generally compensated on a per-mile basis, owner-operator payments are classified in the Company’s financial statements under Rent and purchased transportation. The decrease in Salaries, wages and benefits primarily resulted from a decrease in the proportion of total miles driven by company drivers during the first nine months of 2017 in comparison to the proportion of total miles driven by company drivers during the first nine months of 2016. This proportional decrease was the result of an increase in the average number of owner-operators under contract from 546 during the first nine months of 2016 to 650 during the first nine months of 2017. Also contributing to the decrease was a decrease in group health insurance claims expensed under the Company’s self-insured health plan during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the first nine months of 2016.

~~Operating supplies and expenses~~ ~~decreased from 10.0%~~(8.7%) of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2016 to 5.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2017.

Fuel surcharge collections can fluctuate significantly from period to period as they are generally based on changes in fuel prices from period to period so that, during periods of rising fuel prices, fuel surcharge collections increase, while fuel surcharge collections decrease during periods of falling fuel prices. Fuel surcharge revenue generated from transportation services performed by owner-operators is reflected as a reduction in net operating supplies and expenses, while fuel surcharges paid to owner-operators for their services is reported along with their base rate of pay in the Rent and purchased transportation category. These categorizations have the effect of reducing our net operating supplies and expenses while increasing the Rent and purchased transportation category, as discussed below. Also contributing to the decrease was a decrease in amounts paid for driver recruiting and driver training schools during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to amounts paid during first nine months of 2016.2019.

~~Rent and purchased transportation increased from~~ 34.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2016 to 40.3% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in driver lease expense as the average number of owner-operators under contract increased from 546 during the first nine months of 2016 to 650 during the first nine months of 2017. The increase in costs in this category, as it relates to the increase in owner-operators, is partially offset by a decrease in other cost categories, such as repairs and fuel, which are generally borne by the owner-operator. A decrease in amounts paid for equipment leases offset a portion of the increase from owner operators. This decrease resulted from the scheduled expiration of several leases during the first nine months of 2017. The remaining operating leases expire during the fourth quarter 2017 and the first quarter 2018.

~~Depreciation increased from~~ 11.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2016 to 12.8% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2017. The increase relates primarily to a change in the estimated residual values of certain equipment and to an increase in equipment purchase costs. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company reduced the expected residual values of certain groups of trucks due to a prolonged depressed used truck market. The reduction in expected residual values resulted in additional depreciation expense of approximately $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2017. The Company’s replacement cycle for trucks is between three and five years and its replacement cycle for trailers is seven years. The cost of new trucks and trailers has increased significantly over the previous three to seven-year replacement cycles. Depreciating higher cost equipment over the same length of time will result in an increase in depreciation expense during the respective period.

~~Gains and losses on sale or disposal of property decreased~~ from a net gain of 1.6% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2016 to a net loss of 0.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2017. The decrease relates primarily to fewer trailers being sold during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the first nine months of 2016.

~~Non-operating~~ income increased from 0.5% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2016 to 2.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the first nine months of 2017. This increase resulted from an increase in gains on sales of marketable equity securities from $1.0 million during the first nine months of 2016 to $4.7 million during the first nine months of 2017.

~~The truckload services division operating ratio, which measures the ratio of operating expenses, net of fuel surcharges, to operating revenues, before fuel~~ ~~surcharges, increased from 93.2% for the first nine months of 2016 to 96.7% for the first nine months of 2017.~~

The increase relates to an increase in our average rates charged and to an increase in the average length of haul for brokered loads during the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016.

~~Salaries, wages and benefits~~ decreased from 5.0% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, in the third quarter of 2016 to 4.6% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2017. The decrease relates primarily to an increase in brokerage revenue, partially offset by an increase in the amount paid to employees assigned to the logistics and brokerage division during the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the third quarter of 2016. To a lesser extent, the percentage-based decrease relates to the interaction of expenses with fixed-cost characteristics, such as general and administrative wages, operations wages, and payroll taxes with an increase in revenues for the periods compared.

~~Rents and purchased transportation~~ decreased from 93.4% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2016 to 90.1% of revenues, before fuel surcharges, during the third quarter of 2017.

Our business has required, and will continue to require, a significant investment in new revenue equipment. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations, proceeds from the sales of revenue equipment, issuances of equity securities, and borrowings under our lines of credit, installment notes, and our investment margin account.

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017,~~2020, we generated ~~$49.2~~$23.6 million in cash from operating activities. Investing activities used ~~$23.6~~$20.9 million in cash in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017.~~2020. Financing activities used ~~$25.5~~$2.6 million in cash in the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017.~~2020.

Our primary use of funds is for the purchase of revenue equipment.

During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017,~~2020, we utilized cash on hand, installment notes, and our lines of credit to finance purchases of revenue equipment and other assets of approximately ~~$38.6~~$35.6 million.

~~Occasionally, we~~We commonly finance the acquisition of revenue equipment through installment notes with fixed interest rates and terms ranging from 36 to ~~60 months~~.84 months. During the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2017,~~2020, the Company’s subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., entered into installment obligations totaling approximately ~~$17.6~~$12.5 million for the purpose of purchasing revenue equipment. These obligations are payable in 60 monthly installments.

During the remainder of ~~201~~7,2020, we expect to purchase approximately ~~183~~450 new trucks ~~and 443 new trailers~~ while continuing to sell or trade older equipment, which we expect to result in net capital expenditures of approximately ~~$27.9~~$33.5 million. ~~In addition, on October 10, 2017, we commenced a Dutch auction tender offer~~We have not altered our equipment replenishment cycle or planned capital expenditure in reaction to ~~repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of our common stock at a price within~~ the range of $27.00 to $30.00 per share. Subject to certain limitations and legal requirements, we could repurchase up to an additional 2% of our outstanding shares, which totals 126,060 shares. The offer will expire on November 7, 2017, unless the offer is extended. Assuming that the maximum of 400,000 shares are tendered in the offer at the maximum purchase price of $30.00 per share, the aggregate purchase price will be approximately $12.0 million. Assuming that an additional amount of shares above the maximum 400,000 shares are tendered in the offer at the maximum purchase price of $30.00 per share and we exercise our right to purchase an additional number of shares up to 2% of our outstanding shares (or approximately 126,060 additional shares), the aggregate purchase price will be approximately $15.8 million.

COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes we will be able to finance our near term needs for working capital over the next twelve months, as well as any planned capital expenditures during such period, with cash balances, cash flows from operations, and borrowings believed to be available from financing sources. We will continue to have significant capital requirements over the long-term, which may require us to incur debt or seek additional equity capital. The availability of additional capital will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the market price of our common stock and several other factors over which we have limited control, as well as our financial condition and results of operations. Nevertheless, based on our recent operating results, current cash position, anticipated future cash flows, and sources of financing that we expect will be available to us, we do not expect that we will experience any significant liquidity constraints in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to finance our growth and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The increase relates to a general increase in freight revenues, which flows through the accounts receivable account, at the end of the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2017~~2020 as compared to the end of the last quarter of ~~2016.~~

~~Other accounts receivable increased from $~~5.0 million at December 31, 2016 to $9.5 million at September 30, 2017 primarily due to the timing of proceeds received from the sale of used equipment. These proceeds are held as restricted cash, and will be used to fund future new equipment purchases.

~~Prepaid expenses and deposits~~ increased from $8.8 million at December 31, 2016 to $9.0 million at September 30, 2017. The increase relates to the annual prepayment of insurance premiums for various policies that renew on September 1^st each year. This prepayment will be amortized over the life of the insurance policies, which is generally September 2017 to August 2018. The increase in prepaid expenses was partially offset by the amortization of items that were prepaid as of December 31, 2016.2019.

Marketable equity securities decreased from ~~$27.6~~$29.5 million at December 31, ~~2016~~2019 to ~~$25.0~~$23.2 million at ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2020. The ~~$2.6~~$6.3 million decrease in market value was ~~due to~~primarily the ~~sale~~result of an approximate $8.8 million decrease in the value of marketable securities held at the end of the quarter and sales of marketable equity securities with a ~~combined market value~~cost basis of approximately ~~$6.0 million, to~~$1.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by the purchase of marketable equity securities with a combined market value of approximately ~~$2.0 million, and to a net increase in market value of approximately $1.4~~$3.7 million during the first ~~nine months of 2017.~~quarter 2020.

~~Accounts payable increased by approximately $13.6 million~~. The ~~majority of~~Company purchased a 51.6 acre terminal in Laredo, TX which includes office, shop, and yard space during the ~~Company’s insurance policies renew~~quarter ended March 31, 2020. This transaction resulted in ~~September each year and there was approximately $4.1 million accrued as of September 30, 2017 for premiums related to these renewals. There was~~ an increase of ~~approximately $6.0~~$8.8 million ~~for new equipment invoices~~in Land and $10.9 million in Structures and improvements recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~September 30, 2017 compared to December~~March 31, ~~2016. Bank overdrafts, or outstanding checks, increased by approximately $2.9 million during the first nine months of 2017, and included approximately $1.7 million of new equipment purchases.~~2020.

Long-term debt and current maturities of long term-debt are reviewed on an aggregate basis,, as the classification of amounts in each category are typically affected merely by the passage of time. Long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, on an aggregate basis, ~~decreased~~increased from ~~$167.2~~$241.8 million at December 31, ~~2016~~2019 to ~~$148.2~~$249.2 million at ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2020. The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily related to the net effect of additional borrowings received during the first three months of 2020, partially offset by installment note payments made during the ~~first nine months of 2017 and additional borrowings received during the first nine months of 2017.~~

~~Treasury stock increased from $122.8 million at December 31, 2016 to $124.8 million at September 30, 2017.~~ ~~The increase relates primarily to the repurchase of 110,316 shares of the Company’s common stock under its stock repurchase program during the first nine months of 2017.~~quarter.

See Note B to the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the most recent accounting pronouncements and their impact, if any, on the Company.

Our primary market risk exposures include equity price risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk (the price paid to obtain diesel fuel for our trucks), and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The potential adverse impact of these risks ~~and~~are discussed below. While the ~~general strategies we employ~~Company has used derivative financial instruments in the past to manage its interest rate and commodity price risks, the Company does not currently enter into such ~~risks are discussed below.~~instruments for risk management purposes or for speculation or trading.

The following sensitivity analyses do not consider the effects that an adverse change may have on the overall economy nor do they consider additional actions we may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results of changes in prices or rates may differ materially from the hypothetical results described below.

We hold certain actively traded marketable equity securities,, which subjects the Company to fluctuations in the fair market value of its investment portfolio based on the current market price of such securities. The recorded value of marketable equity securities decreased to ~~$25.0~~$23.2 million at ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 from ~~$27.6~~$29.5 million at December 31, ~~2016.~~2019. A 10% decrease in the market price of our marketable equity securities would cause a corresponding 10% decrease in the carrying amounts of these securities, or approximately ~~$2.5~~$2.3 million. For additional information with respect to the marketable equity securities, see Note CD to our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a fixed percentage. Accordingly, changes in LIBOR, which are affected by changes in interest rates, will affect the interest rate on, and therefore our costs under, the line of credit. Assuming ~~$1.0~~$25.6 million of variable rate debt was outstanding under our line of credit for a full fiscal year; a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in LIBOR ~~for a one year period~~ would result in approximately ~~$10,000~~$256,000 of additional interest expense.

Prices and availability of all petroleum products are subject to political, economic,, and market factors that are generally outside of our control. Accordingly, the price and availability of diesel fuel, as well as other petroleum products, can be unpredictable. Because our operations are dependent upon diesel fuel, significant increases in diesel fuel costs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Based upon our ~~2016~~2019 fuel consumption, a 10% increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would increase our annual fuel expenses by ~~$3.9~~$5.1 million.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to the activities of our branch office located in Mexico. Currently, we do not hedge our exchange rate exposure through any currency forward contracts, currency options, or currency swaps as all of our revenues, and substantially all of our expenses and capital expenditures, are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, certain operating expenditures and capital purchases related to our Mexico branch office are incurred in or exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso. Based on ~~2016~~2019 expenditures denominated in pesos, a 10% increase in the exchange rate would increase our annual operating expenses by ~~$52,000.~~$860,000.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the

fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on ~~management~~’smanagement’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The nature of our business routinely results in litigation, primarily involving claims for personal injuries and property damage incurred in the transportation of freight. We believe that all such routine litigation is adequately covered by insurance and that adverse results in one or more of those cases would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We are a defendant in a ~~collective-action~~collective- and class-action lawsuit which was ~~re-filed~~filed on December 9, 2016, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The plaintiffs, who ~~are~~include current and former employee drivers who worked for the Company during the period of December 6,9, 2013, through ~~the date of the filing,~~December 31, 2019, allege violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Arkansas Minimum Wage ~~Law. The plaintiffs, through their attorneys, have filed causes of action alleging “Failure~~Law including “failure to pay minimum wage during orientation, failure to pay minimum wage to team drivers after initial orientation, failure to pay minimum wage to solo-drivers after initial orientation, failure to pay for compensable travel time, Comdata card fees, unlawful deductions, and breach of contract.” The plaintiffs are seeking actual and liquidated damages to include court costs and legal fees. On February 18, 2020, the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas granted preliminary approval of a $16.5 million settlement reached with the plaintiffs. The ~~lawsuit~~settlement is ~~currently under~~subject to final approval by the court. As of March 31, 2020, the preliminary ~~review. We cannot reasonably estimate, at this time,~~settlement amount of $16.5 million is reserved in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the ~~possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from this lawsuit.~~Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Management has determined that any losses under this claim will not be covered by existing insurance policies.

On March 31, 2020, the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas dismissed the collective- and class-action lawsuit filed against the company on May 29, 2019 by plaintiffs, who were independent contractors alleging violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Arkansas Minimum Wage Law. The plaintiffs, through their attorneys, alleged “misclassification as independent contractors, payment on the basis of miles without regard to the number of hours worked, improper deductions, and failure to pay minimum wage.” The dismissal of this lawsuit resulted when the Company and plaintiffs reached a settlement agreement for approximately $421,000, plus legal fees. Legal reserve accruals in excess of the amount outlined in the settlement agreement were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, resulting in a reduction in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s participation in the settlements of the above matters does not constitute an admission by the Company of any fault or liability, and the Company does not admit any fault or liability.

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A to Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The coronavirus outbreak or other similar outbreaks could negatively impact our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and cash flows.

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and any other outbreaks of contagious diseases or other adverse public health developments, could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and cash flows. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has resulted in governmental authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, increased border and port controls and closures, and shutdowns. These measures and the public health concerns resulting from the outbreak have severely disrupted economic and commercial activity. The resulting impact on domestic and global supply chains has caused slowdowns and reduced freight demand for transportation companies such as ours. Because we have a significant concentration of customers within the automotive industry, our freight volumes and revenues have been significantly affected by the closure of North American automotive manufacturing facilities beginning in late March. Although we expect our automotive customers to begin resuming operations in the coming weeks, the extent to which production will return to pre-pandemic levels remains uncertain. Any further delays in resumption of automotive production and other consumer activity affecting our customers and any future wave of the virus or other similar outbreaks could further adversely affect our business. In addition, the implementation of measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, vendors and the general public may disrupt our ability to efficiently manage personnel and operations and to recruit and retain driver and non-driver personnel, which could have a materially adverse effect on our operating results. Further, negative financial results, an economic downturn or uncertainty, or a tightening of credit markets caused by COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to effectively meet our short- and long-term financial obligations.
