NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMAR

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Daseke is a premier North American tra nsportation solutions specialist dedicated to servicing challenging industrial end-markets through experienced people and a fleet of more than 4,500 tractors and 11,000 f latbed and specialized trailers, and has operations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company also provides logistical planning and warehousing services to customers. The Company is subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and various state regulatory authorities in the United States. The Company is also subject to regulation by the Ministries of Transportation and Communications and various provincial regulatory authorities in Canada. Basis of Presentation These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2021 as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value framework are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the framework is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and contingent consideration. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. The Company’s warrant liabilities are included within the Level 1 and Level 3 fair value hierarchy. There was no warrant liability as of September 30, 2022 . The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s warrant liability that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2021 (in millions): Fair value as of December 31, 2021 Liabilities: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Warrant liability $ 2.7 $ — $ 2.0 $ 4.7 Total fair value $ 2.7 $ — $ 2.0 $ 4.7 The table below is a summary of the changes in the fair value of the warrant liability within the Level 3 fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in millions): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 2.0 Change in fair value ( 2.0 ) Balance at end of period $ — Common Stock Purchase Warrants The Company’s common stock purchase warrants expired in accordance with their terms on February 27, 2022 and are no longer exercisable. During 2022, prior to their expiration, there were 1,635,296 warrants exercised for 817,648 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $ 9.4 million in proceeds to the Company. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2020-06 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this update are effective for all entities as of March 20, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope, to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019 - 12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019 - 12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019 - 12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. In addition, in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors concerning certain loan refinancings, restructurings and writeoffs. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Lease Income The Company leases tractors and trailers to certain of its owner operators and accounts for these transactions as operating leases. These leases typically have terms of 30 to 72 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related revenue equipment. The Company recognizes income for these leases as payments are received over the lease term, which are reported in purchased freight on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING	NOTE 4 – INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING During the first quarter of 2022, the Company internally announced a phased integration and restructuring plan (Transformation Plan or the Plan), with the first phase integrating five operating segments into three other operating segments, which will reduce the number of overall operating segments from eleven to six . The second phase of the Plan will integrate those six operating segments into four or five operating segments. As of September 30, 2022, we had nine operating segments. The Transformation Plan is intended to reduce the Company’s cost base, right size its organization and management team and increase and accelerate its previously announced operational improvement goals. In addition, the Company anticipates additional revenue opportunities driven by synergies from optimizing a consolidated operation, including empty mile reduction, pricing improvements, and additional seated truck contribution. The integration and restructuring costs consist of employee-related costs and other transition and termination costs related to restructuring activities. Employee-related costs include severance, tax preparation, and relocation costs, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations . Other transition and termination costs include fixed asset-related charges, contract and lease termination costs, professional fees, and other miscellaneous expenditures associated with the integration or restructuring activities, which are expensed as incurred. Costs are reported in restructuring charges in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The obligation related to employee separation costs is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded $ 0.8 million and $ 2.0 million of integration and restructuring expenses in connection with the Plan in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively . As of September 30, 2022, we have incurred a cumulative total of $ 2.0 million in integration and restructuring costs since inception of the Plan. The Company completed the previously announced internal restructuring (Project Pivot) and integration (Project Synchronize) plans as of December 31, 2021 and does not expect any future material restructuring costs associated with those prior plans. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had incurred a cumulative total of $ 9.9 million in integration and restructuring costs related to Project Pivot and Project Synchronize.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 44.0 % and 29.4 % , respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were 32.7 % and 27.6 % , respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to state income taxes, nontaxable income stemming from the change in fair value of the warrant liability, and certain nondeductible expenses related to executive compensation and goodwill impairment. S tate tax rates vary among states and typically range from 1 % to 6 %, although some state rates are higher and a small number of states do not impose an income tax. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differs from the effective tax rate for the same period in 2021 primarily due to the permanent disallowance of goodwill impairment in the second quarter of 2022 and larger disallowances related to executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC).

The ultimate amount to vest may be downwardly adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors if the TSR is negative. The amount of awards that will ultimately vest for these PSUs can range from 0% to 200% based on the TSR calculated over a three-year period beginning January 1 of the year each grant was made. The Company currently expects that these PSUs will vest between 96% and 129%. The fair value of these PSUs will be remeasured at each period-end until the earlier of the date they are reclassified to equity or the vesting date. The inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value ranged from a remaining term o f 1.25 to 2.25 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.11 % to 2.39 %, expected volatility of 58.2 % to 89.3 % , and an expected dividend yield of 0.0 %.

The fair value of these PSUs will be remeasured at each period-end until the earlier of the date they are reclassified to equity or the vesting date. The Company currently expects that these PSUs will vest at 100%. The fair value is equal to the market value of the common stock at each period-end. As of September 30, 2022 , the total fair value of liability-classified awards was approximately $ 7.6 million, of which $ 2.0 million was recorded as a liability within accrued payroll, benefits and related taxes on the consolidated balance sheet and $ 1.6 million was recorded as a liability within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	NOTE 13 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. A portion of the Company’s outstanding non-vested RSUs are participating securities unless there is a net loss attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, shares of the Company’s 7.625 % Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (in millions, except per share data) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 12.6 $ 20.9 $ 43.3 $ 48.9 Less Series A Preferred Stock dividends ( 1.3 ) ( 1.2 ) ( 3.7 ) ( 3.7 ) Net income attributable to common stockholders 11.3 19.7 39.6 45.2 Allocation of earnings to non-vested participating RSUs — ( 0.2 ) ( 0.1 ) ( 0.4 ) Numerator for basic EPS - income available to common stockholders - two class method $ 11.3 $ 19.5 $ 39.5 $ 44.8 Effect of dilutive securities: Add back Series A Preferred Stock dividends $ — $ 1.2 $ — $ 3.7 Add back allocation earnings to participating securities — 0.2 0.1 0.4 Reallocation of earnings to participating securities considering potentially dilutive securities — ( 0.2 ) ( 0.1 ) ( 0.4 ) Numerator for diluted EPS - income available to common shareholders - two class method $ 11.3 $ 20.7 $ 39.5 $ 48.5 Denominator: Denominator for basic EPS - weighted-average shares 63,535,897 62,583,115 63,301,446 64,159,551 Effect of dilutive securities: Non-participating outstanding share-based payment awards 2,734,744 1,765,315 2,965,220 1,395,857 Series A Preferred Stock — 5,652,173 — 5,652,173 Denominator for diluted EPS - weighted-average shares 66,270,641 70,000,603 66,266,666 71,207,581 Basic earnings per share $ 0.18 $ 0.31 $ 0.62 $ 0.70 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.17 $ 0.30 $ 0.60 $ 0.68

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMM_2

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Daseke is a premier North American tra nsportation solutions specialist dedicated to servicing challenging industrial end-markets through experienced people and a fleet of more than 4,500 tractors and 11,000 f latbed and specialized trailers, and has operations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company also provides logistical planning and warehousing services to customers. The Company is subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and various state regulatory authorities in the United States. The Company is also subject to regulation by the Ministries of Transportation and Communications and various provincial regulatory authorities in Canada.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2021 as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2022.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The three levels of the fair value framework are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the framework is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and contingent consideration. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. The Company’s warrant liabilities are included within the Level 1 and Level 3 fair value hierarchy. There was no warrant liability as of September 30, 2022 . The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s warrant liability that were accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2021 (in millions): Fair value as of December 31, 2021 Liabilities: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Warrant liability $ 2.7 $ — $ 2.0 $ 4.7 Total fair value $ 2.7 $ — $ 2.0 $ 4.7 The table below is a summary of the changes in the fair value of the warrant liability within the Level 3 fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in millions): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 2.0 Change in fair value ( 2.0 ) Balance at end of period $ — Common Stock Purchase Warrants The Company’s common stock purchase warrants expired in accordance with their terms on February 27, 2022 and are no longer exercisable. During 2022, prior to their expiration, there were 1,635,296 warrants exercised for 817,648 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $ 9.4 million in proceeds to the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2020-06 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this update are effective for all entities as of March 20, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope, to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019 - 12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019 - 12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019 - 12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. In addition, in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors concerning certain loan refinancings, restructurings and writeoffs. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2023 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Lease Income	Lease Income The Company leases tractors and trailers to certain of its owner operators and accounts for these transactions as operating leases. These leases typically have terms of 30 to 72 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related revenue equipment. The Company recognizes income for these leases as payments are received over the lease term, which are reported in purchased freight on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company's equipment leases may include options for the lessee to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term. When an asset reaches the end of its useful economic life, the Company disposes of the asset. Lease income from lease payments related to these operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $ 8.4 million and $ 24.2 million, respectively. Lease income from lease payments related to these operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $ 7.6 million and $ 20.7 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Arrangement by Share-Based Payment Award, Plan Modification, Description and Terms			were 548,397 PSUs classified as liabilities in which the vesting occurs upon the achievement of specific performance-based conditions related to the Company’s financial performance over a three-year period, modified based on the Company’s Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and subject to final vesting based on the participant’s continued employment through the end of the requisite service periods. The ultimate amount to vest may be downwardly adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors if the TSR is negative. The amount of awards that will ultimately vest for these PSUs can range from 0% to 200% based on the TSR calculated over a three-year period beginning January 1 of the year each grant was made. The Company currently expects that these PSUs will vest between 96% and 129%. The fair value of these PSUs will be remeasured at each period-end until the earlier of the date they are reclassified to equity or the vesting date. The inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value ranged from a remaining term of 1.25 to 2.25 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.11% to 2.39%, expected volatility of 58.2% to 89.3%, and an expected dividend yield of 0.0%.  In addition, there are 675,000 PSUs classified as liabilities in which the vesting occurs upon the achievement of specific performance-based conditions related to the Company’s financial performance over a two-year period, subject to various subjective individual performance goals and subject to final vesting based on the participant’s continued employment through the end of the requisite service periods. The fair value of these PSUs will be remeasured at each period-end until the earlier of the date they are reclassified to equity or the vesting date. The Company currently expects that these PSUs will vest at 100%. The fair value is equal to the market value of the common stock at each period-end.
