NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Daseke, Inc.’s (the Company or Daseke) wholly-owned subsidiary Daseke Companies, Inc., was incorporated in December 2008 and began operations on January 1, 2009. Daseke is engaged in full service open-deck trucking that specializes primarily in flatbed truckload and heavy haul transportation of specialized items 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 (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 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, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018 as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019. Certain items have been reclassified for presentation purposes to conform to the accounting policies of the consolidated entity. These reclassifications had no material impact on income from operations, net loss and comprehensive loss, the balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Daseke, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Deferred Financing Fees In conjunction with obtaining long-term debt, the Company incurred financing costs which are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the obligations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of deferred finance charges was $12.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, which is included as a reduction of long-term debt, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense was $0.9 million and $0.7 million the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the third quarter of 2019, the Company expensed $2.0 million to write-off certain deferred financing fees due to unsuccessful efforts to restructure the debt facilities. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is indicated. A loss is then recognized for the difference, if any, between the fair value of the asset (as estimated by management using its best judgment) and the carrying value of the asset. If actual market value is less favorable than that estimated by management, additional write-downs may be required. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized asset impairments, which are more fully described in Notes 2, 5 and 7. 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. Contingent Consideration The contingent consideration liabilities, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, represent future payment obligations for certain EBITDA thresholds related to the Company’s acquisitions over a defined period of time. See Note 3 for additional details on the future payment obligations connected to the Company’s acquisitions. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities are determined using estimates based on discount rates that reflect the risk involved and the projected EBITDA of the acquired businesses, therefore the liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value framework. The balance of contingent consideration as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $21.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively. The table below is a summary of the changes in the fair value of this liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in millions): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 21.9 $ 0.8 Fair value of earn-out liability for acquisition — 20.3 Change in fair value (0.4) (0.7) Balance at end of period $ 21.5 $ 20.4 Stock-Based Compensation Awards of equity instruments issued to employees and directors are accounted for under the fair value method of accounting and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Compensation cost is measured for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognized using the straight-line method over the service period over which the awards are expected to vest. Fair value of all time-vested options as of the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Since the Company does not have a sufficient history of exercise behavior, expected term is calculated using the assumption that the options will be exercised ratably from the date of vesting to the end of the contractual term for each vesting tranche of awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period of the expected term of the stock option. Expected volatility is calculated using an index of publicly traded peer companies. Fair values of non-vested stock awards (restricted stock units) are equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of the award with compensation costs amortized over the vesting period of the award. Segment Reporting The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has determined it had 16 operating segments as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 that are aggregated into two reportable segments: Flatbed Solutions, which delivers its services using primarily flatbed transportation equipment to meet the needs of high-volume, time-sensitive shippers, and Specialized Solutions, which delivers transportation and logistics solutions for super heavy haul, high-value customized and over-dimensional loads, many of which require engineering and customized equipment. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of earnings per share 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 (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, shares of the Company’s 7.625% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) and outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no dilutive effect from the Merger Agreement earn-out provision found in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 22, 2016, in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. II (Hennessy) merged with and into Daseke, with Daseke surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hennessy, (the Merger Agreement) or the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the common stock purchase warrants). See Note 16 for the effects of non-vested restricted stock units on basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method. Common Stock Purchase Warrants The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants in connection with equity offerings in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The Company classifies as equity any contract that (i) requires physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contract that (i) requires net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). See Note 11 for additional details on the common stock purchase warrants. The Company assessed the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and determined that such instruments meet the criteria for equity classification at the time of issuance. Foreign Currency Gains and Losses The functional currency for all operations except Canada is the U.S. dollar. The local currency is the functional currency for the Company’s operations in Canada. For these operations, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the consolidated balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency into U.S. dollars are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income until a partial or complete liquidation of the Company’s net investment in the foreign operation. From time to time, the Company’s foreign operations may enter into transactions that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency of the operating company based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Monthly, these transactions are remeasured to an equivalent amount of the functional currency based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the remeasurement date. Any adjustment required to remeasure a transaction to the equivalent amount of functional currency is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of the foreign operating company as a component of foreign exchange gain or loss. Assets Held for Sale Through December 31, 2018, assets held for sale were primarily comprised of revenue equipment in the Company’s lease purchase program and recorded as a component of prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held for sale were not subject to depreciation, and were recorded at the lower of depreciated carrying value or fair market value less selling costs. Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2018, totaled $3.6 million, consisting of $2.7 million for the Flatbed Solutions segment and $0.9 million for the Specialized Solutions. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), the revenue equipment in the Company’s lease purchase program no longer meets the criteria for assets held for sale. See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. Revenue and Expense Recognition The Company’s revenue and related costs are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) transferring goods or services to the customer and the customer obtains control of such goods and services. With respect to freight, brokerage, logistics and fuel surcharge revenue, these conditions are met, and the Company recognizes company freight, owner operator freight, brokerage and fuel surcharge revenue, over time, and logistics revenue, as the services are provided. While the Company may enter into master service agreements with its customers, a contract is not established until the customer specifically requests the Company’s services and the Company accepts. The Company evaluates each contract for distinct performance obligations. In the Company’s business, a typical performance obligation is the transportation of a load including any highly interrelated ancillary services. The Company predominantly estimates the standalone selling price of its services based upon observable evidence, market conditions and other relevant inputs. The Company allocates the total transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling prices. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s contracts; therefore, revenue is recognized over time. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation, as the customer does not need to re-perform the transportation services the Company has provided to date. Generally, the Company’s customers are billed upon delivery of the freight or monthly and remit payment according to the approved payment terms. Freight Revenue Freight revenue is generated by hauling customer freight using company owned equipment (company freight) and owner-operator equipment (owner-operator freight). Freight revenue is the product of the number of revenue-generating miles driven and the rate per mile received from customers plus accessorial charges, such as loading and unloading freight, cargo protection, fees for detained equipment or fees for route planning and supervision. Brokerage Revenue The Company regularly engages third-party capacity providers to haul loads. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide load transportation services, and has discretion in setting prices, along with the risk to fulfill the contract to the customer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company has determined that it is the principal and therefore, records gross revenues and expenses for brokerage services. Logistics Revenue Logistics revenue is generated from a range of services, including value-added warehousing, loading and unloading, vehicle maintenance and repair, preparation and packaging, fuel management, and other fleet management solutions. The Company recognizes logistics revenue as services are completed. Fuel Surcharge Fuel surcharge revenue compensates the Company for fuel costs above a certain cost per gallon base. Generally, the Company receives fuel surcharges on the miles for which it is compensated by customers. The Company has designated the following preference and practical expedients: · To not disclose remaining performance obligations when the expected performance obligation duration is one year or less. The vast majority of the Company’s services transfer control within a month of the inception of the contract with select specialized loads taking several months to allow for increased planning and permitting. · Recognize the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of a potential asset would be recognized in one year or less. · Exclude taxes collected on behalf of government authorities from the Company’s measurement of transaction prices. Tax amounts are not included within net income or cost of sales. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) . ASU 2017-11 provides guidance on accounting for financial instruments with down round features and clarifies the deferral of certain provisions in Topic 480. ASU 2017-11 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2019, which did not impact the 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. 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 currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

LEASES
LEASES	NOTE 2 – LEASES Change in Accounting Principle In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which amends the FASB ASC and creates Topic 842 (ASC 842), Leases. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. This Topic requires balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases under GAAP. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company has completed its evaluation of the requirements of ASC 842 and related amendments. As part of the Company’s evaluation, management compiled and analyzed contracts, identified the full lease population, implemented and populated leasing software and implemented new controls associated with adopting and adhering to the standard, and reviewed its accounting practices for revenue equipment that it leased to certain of its owner-operators. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method and elected the option to not apply ASC 842 to comparative periods, which continue to be presented under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Lessee The adoption of this standard had a material impact on the Company’s financial position. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of approximately $96.9 million and $96.9 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The right-of-use assets recorded on the balance sheet include primarily trucking facilities and terminals and revenue equipment leases. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), however, there have been additions and modifications to its existing financial disclosures. The Company has designated the following preferences and practical expedients: · To not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain a lease; · Carryforward previous conclusions related to prior lease classification under the prior lease accounting standard to lease classification for existing leases under ASC 842; · To not reassess initial indirect costs; · Elect the hindsight practical expedient related to lease term and impairment; · Adopt the land easement practical expedient; · To not separate the non-lease components of a contract from the lease component for its office equipment asset class; · To not apply the recognition requirements to leases with terms of twelve months or less; and · To apply the portfolio approach in determination of the incremental borrowing rate. The Company has capitalized operating and finance leases for various real estate including corporate offices, trucking facilities and terminals, warehouses, and tractor parking as well as various types of equipment including tractors, trailers, forklifts, and office equipment. New real estate lease agreements will typically have initial terms between 3 to 15 years and new equipment lease agreements will typically have initial terms of 3 to 9 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short term leases) across all asset classes are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s leases include one or more options to renew, with renewals that can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Rights and obligations related to lease agreements the Company has signed but that have not yet commenced are not material. The Company has certain lease agreements related to its revenue equipment that contain residual value guarantees. These residual value guarantees require the Company to return the revenue equipment at the end of the lease term in a certain condition as specified by the lessor in the lease agreement. The Company determines whether an arrangement is classified as a lease at inception. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relating to operating leases are included in right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relating to finance leases are included in other long-term assets, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt, net of current portion on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's right-of-use assets represent its right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and the Company's right-of-use liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company's capitalized operating lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit rate. The Company developed an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date regarding the interest rate applicable to collateralized borrowings for a period similar to the original lease period. The incremental borrowing rates were used in determining the present value of lease payments which is reflected as the lease liability. The Company follows ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” guidance to determine whether right-of-use assets relating to operating and finance leases are impaired. The Company recorded impairment charges of $10.0 million to right-of-use assets relating to operating leases and $0.7 million to right-of-use assets relating to finance leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. See Note 5 for discussion on impairment charges. The following table reflects the Company’s components of lease expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Classification September 30, 2019 Operating lease cost Revenue equipment Operations and maintenance $ 2.8 $ 16.3 Real estate Administrative expense 1.1 10.2 Total operating lease cost $ 3.9 $ 26.5 Finance lease cost Amortization of right-of-use assets Depreciation and amortization $ 1.5 $ 3.9 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 0.2 0.7 Total finance lease cost $ 1.7 $ 4.6 Total lease cost (a) $ 5.6 $ 31.1 (a) Short-term lease expense and variable lease expense are immaterial.

The additional assets recorded on the balance sheet in property and equipment include tractors and trailers leased or available for lease to owner-operators. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), however, there have been additions and modifications to its existing financial disclosures. The Company leases tractors and trailers to certain of its owner-operators and accounts for these transactions as operating leases. Historically, the Company has accounted for these equipment leases as sales-type leases. Under the new guidance, the Company's equipment leases no longer qualify for sales-type lease treatment and are now treated as operating leases. This change in accounting treatment resulted in the derecognition of net investment in sales-type leases and recording the associated assets as if the agreements were always operating leases. The Company will no longer recognize a lease receivable, unearned interest income, or deferred gain related to sales-type leases and will recognize income from operating leases as payments are received. 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 (loss). 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. The Company recorded depreciation expense of $5.7 million and $16.4 million on its assets leased under operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Lease income from lease payments related to the Company's operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $6.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively. The following table is the future minimum receipts on leases as of September 30, 2019 (in millions): Twelve months ending September 30, Amount 2020 $ 25.8 2021 19.7 2022 11.9 2023 5.8 2024 1.7 Thereafter 0.3 Total minimum lease receipts $ 65.2 The components of the net investment in sales-type leases as of December 31, 2018 prior to the adoption of ASC 842 are as follows (in millions): 2018 Minimum lease receivable $ 78.1 Deferred gain (10.1) Net minimum lease receivable 68.0 Unearned interest income (12.3) Net investment in sales-type leases 55.7 Current portion (16.2) $ 39.5 The following table is the future minimum receipts on leases as of December 31, 2018 prior to the adoption of ASC 842 (in millions): Year ending December 31, Amount 2019 $ 16.2 2020 14.5 2021 11.0 2022 11.2 2023 2.6 Thereafter 0.2 Total $ 55.7

ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITIONS	NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS The Company is a leading consolidator of the open-deck freight market in North America. From Daseke Companies, Inc.’s inception in late 2008, the Company and Daseke Companies, Inc. have acquired 20 open-deck trucking companies. To date, the primary reason for each acquisition was to add resources and services in geographic areas, customers and markets that the Company wants to serve. For each acquisition, the aggregate purchase price was allocated to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, which were based, in part, upon outside preliminary appraisals for certain assets and subject to change when additional information concerning final asset and liability values is obtained. The final purchase price allocations may result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price paid to the fair values of the net assets, net of cash acquired, of the 2018 acquisitions (in millions): (all amounts in U.S. dollars) Leavitt's Builders Kelsey Trail Aveda Accounts receivable $ 1.9 $ 8.4 $ 2.3 $ 37.3 Parts supplies 0.1 0.3 — — Prepaid and other current assets 0.4 1.5 0.4 2.5 Property and equipment 8.5 29.4 9.2 89.8 Goodwill 5.1 14.7 3.3 7.7 Intangible assets 3.6 10.6 1.5 15.0 Other long-term assets — 0.5 — — Deferred tax liability — (9.2) (2.7) (6.7) Accounts payable and other liabilities (4.9) (19.9) (8.0) (30.0) Total consideration paid (net of cash acquired) $ 14.7 $ 36.3 $ 6.0 $ 115.6 Leavitt’s Freight Service On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Leavitt’s Freight Service, Inc. (Leavitt’s), based in Springfield, Oregon. Total consideration paid was $14.9 million of cash, which was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition was treated as an asset purchase because Leavitt’s was a qualified subchapter S-subsidiary acquired directly from an S-corporation; therefore, the values assigned to the intangible assets and goodwill are deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $0.3 million of transaction expenses were incurred in the acquisition, which will be deductible for tax purposes because the transaction qualified as an asset purchase. Builders Transportation On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Builders Transportation Co., LLC (Builders), based in Memphis, Tennessee. Total consideration paid was $36.3 million, consisting of $30.0 million in cash, 399,530 shares of Daseke common stock valued at $3.4 million and the payoff of $2.9 million of outstanding debt. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition was a stock purchase; therefore, the values assigned to the intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $0.2 million of transaction expenses were incurred in the acquisition, which are not deductible for tax purposes. Kelsey Trail Trucking On July 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Kelsey Trail Trucking Ltd. (Kelsey Trail), based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan province, Canada. Total consideration paid was $6.2 million, consisting of $5.3 million in cash and 95,859 shares of Daseke common stock valued at $0.9 million. The cash consideration was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition was a stock purchase; therefore, the values assigned to the intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $0.1 million of transaction expenses were incurred in the acquisition, which are not deductible for tax purposes. During the first quarter of 2019, goodwill and deferred tax liability were decreased by $0.9 million to adjust the beginning balance of deferred taxes. Aveda Transportation and Energy Services On June 6, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Aveda Transportation and Energy Services Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada (Aveda), pursuant to the Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement (the Agreement). Total consideration paid was $118.7 million, consisting of $27.3 million in cash, 1,612,979 shares of Daseke common stock valued at $15.4 million, and the payoff of $54.8 million of outstanding debt. The Company will also pay to the holders of Aveda common shares up to C$0.45 in cash per Aveda common share, contingent on and based on Aveda’s Company EBITDA (as defined in the Agreement) meeting certain thresholds set forth in the Agreement for the period beginning June 1, 2018 and ending on May 1, 2019 or with agreement of the parties, July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The contingent consideration for this earn-out has been valued at an estimated $21.2 million. The Aveda acquisition was a stock purchase; therefore, the value assigned to the intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes. Approximately $1.1 million of transaction expenses were incurred in the acquisition, which are not deductible for tax purposes. During the first quarter of 2019, goodwill and deferred tax liability were increased by $0.7 million to adjust the beginning balance of deferred taxes.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of all acquisitions over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company performs an impairment test of goodwill annually as of October 1 or when impairment indicators arise. On July 30, 2019, the Company internally announced a plan to integrate three operating segments with three other operating segments (Project Synchronize or the Plan), which will reduce the number of operating segments from 16 to 13. The Plan was implemented to streamline and reduce the Company’s cost structure, improve asset utilization and capitalize on operational synergies. Additionally, the Company announced the planned implementation of Business Improvement Plans (BIP), which are expected to increase profitability by right-sizing trailer-to-tractor ratios, yielding management capacity allocations, and improving maintenance execution. On September 4, 2019, the Company announced a comprehensive restructuring plan (Project Pivot) intended to reduce its cost base, right size its organization and management team and increase and accelerate its previously announced operational improvement goals. As part of Project Pivot, the Company executed a new management restructuring and substantial corporate cost reduction plan. See Note 6 for additional details. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified a triggering event following the announcement of Project Synchronize, BIP, Project Pivot and the decline of the Company’s stock price. As a result, the Company completed goodwill impairment and assets impairment analyses as of September 30, 2019 ( see Note 7 for additional details) . The result of the goodwill impairment analysis prepared in the third quarter was a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $112.8 million, of which $105.0 million is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill impairment is recorded in impairment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The summary of changes in goodwill follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in millions): Flatbed Specialized Total Goodwill balance at December 31, 2018 $ 101.5 $ 156.9 $ 258.4 Impairment (38.7) (74.1) (112.8) Adjustments to previously recorded goodwill (net) — (0.3) (0.3) Foreign currency translation adjustment — 0.4 0.4 Goodwill balance at September 30, 2019 $ 62.8 $ 82.9 $ 145.7 During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge to intangible assets of $85.6 million for non-competition agreements, customer relationships and trade names categories of intangible assets.

INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING	NOTE 6 – INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING As discussed in Note 5, the Company implemented Project Synchronize and Project Pivot which resulted in recording of integration and restructuring costs. The integration and restructuring costs consist of assets impairments, employee-related costs, other transition and termination costs related to restructuring activities. Employee-related costs include severance, tax preparation, and relocation costs. Severance, tax preparation and relocation costs are expensed in accordance with ASC 420. 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.

LONG-TERM DEBT.
LONG-TERM DEBT	NOTE 9 – LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists of the following as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in millions): 2019 2018 Term loan facility $ 489.7 $ 493.5 Equipment term loans 197.5 190.7 Finance and capital leases 26.0 18.2 713.2 702.4 Less current portion (61.6) (63.5) Less unamortized debt issuance costs (12.5) (16.2) Total long-term debt $ 639.1 $ 622.7 Term Loan Facility The Company has a $500.0 million term loan facility under a loan agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the Term Loan Facility) with a scheduled maturity date of February 27, 2024. Term loans under the Term Loan Facility are, at the Company’s election from time to time, comprised of alternate base rate loans (an ABR Borrowing) or adjusted LIBOR loans (a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing), with the applicable margins of interest being an alternate base rate (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus 4.00% per annum and LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 5.00% per annum. At September 30, 2019, the average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 7.4%. The Term Loan Facility is secured by all assets of the Company, except those assets collateralizing equipment and certain real estate lenders debt and subject to certain customary exceptions. The Term Loan Facility contains a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a consolidated total leverage ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, stepping down to 3.75 to 1.00 on March 31, 2021. The consolidated total leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) consolidated total debt minus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents restricted in favor of the administrative agent and the lenders, to (ii) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 month period (with customary add-backs permitted to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, including in respect of synergies and cost-savings reasonably identifiable and factually supportable that are anticipated to be realized in an aggregate amount not to exceed 25% of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and subject to other customary limitations). The Term Loan Facility permits voluntary prepayments of borrowings. In certain circumstances (subject to exceptions, exclusions and, in the case of excess cash flow, step-downs described below), the Company may also be required to make an offer to prepay the Term Loan Facility if it receives proceeds as a result of certain asset sales, debt issuances, casualty or similar events of loss, or if it has excess cash flow (defined as an annual amount calculated using a customary formula based on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, including, among other things, deductions for (i) the amount of certain voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility and (ii) the amount of certain capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and restricted payments). The percentage of excess cash flow that must be applied as a mandatory prepayment is 50%, 25% or 0% for excess cash flow periods for the year ending December 31, 2019 and beyond, depending upon the first lien leverage ratio. The Term Loan Facility contains (i) certain customary affirmative covenants that, among other things, require compliance with applicable laws, periodic financial reporting and notices of material events, payment of taxes and other obligations, maintenance of property and insurance, and provision of additional guarantees and collateral, and (ii) certain customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens on property, sale and leaseback transactions, investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, acquisitions, the payment of distributions, dividends, redemptions and repurchases of equity interests, transactions with affiliates, prepayments and redemptions of certain other indebtedness, burdensome agreements, holding company limitations, changes in fiscal year and modifications of organizational documents. ABL Facility The Company has a five-year, senior secured asset-based revolving line of credit with an aggregate maximum credit amount equal to $100.0 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base equal to 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, 80% of the Company’s eligible unbilled accounts receivable and 50% of parts supplies) under a credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto. The ABL Facility’s maximum credit amount may be increased by $30.0 million pursuant to an uncommitted accordion. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit subject to certain restrictions and a sublimit of $20 million, as defined in the credit agreement. The ABL Facility matures on February 27, 2022. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a debit balance of $2.8 million, $13.9 million in letters of credit outstanding, and could incur approximately $84.6 million of additional indebtedness under the ABL Facility. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at rates based upon the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio and, at the Company’s election from time to time, either a base rate plus an applicable margin or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. Margins on the ABL Facility are adjusted, if necessary to the applicable rates set forth in the following table corresponding to the fixed charge coverage ratio for the trailing 12 month period on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Base Rate Margins LIBOR Rate Margins Less than 1.25 to 1.00 2.25 % 3.25 % Greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00, but less than 1.50 to 1.00 1.75 % 2.75 % Greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00, but less than 1.75 to 1.00 1.25 % 2.25 % Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.00 0.75 % 1.75 % The ABL Facility was amended on June 15, 2018, to adjust margins, if necessary, on the ABL Facility beginning in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018, to the applicable rates set forth in the following table corresponding to the average RLOC Utilization for the trailing 12 month period on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. RLOC Utilization at a particular date shall mean an amount equal to (a)(i) outstanding amount of Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding amount of the Swing Loans plus (iii) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, divided by (b) Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, each as defined in the credit agreement. RLOC Utilization Base Rate Margins LIBOR Rate Margins Less than 33.3% 0.50 % 1.50 % Greater than or equal to 33.3%, but less than 66.6% 0.75 % 1.75 % Greater than or equal to 66.6% 1.00 % 2.00 % At September 30, 2019, the interest rate on the ABL Facility was 5.50%. The ABL Facility is secured by all of the Company’s U.S.-based accounts receivable, parts supplies, cash and cash equivalents excluding proceeds of Term Loan Facility, securities and deposit accounts and other general assets not included in the Term Loan Facility collateral. The ABL Facility contains (i) a financial covenant similar to the consolidated total leverage ratio required under the Term Loan Facility requiring a leverage ratio of less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter, stepping down to 3.75 to 1.00 on March 31, 2021 and (ii) during any period after a default or event of default or after excess availability falling below the greater of (x) $15.0 million and (y) 20% of the maximum credit amount, continuing until such time as no default or event of default has existed and excess availability has exceeded such amounts for a period of 60 consecutive days, a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00x, tested on a quarterly basis. The Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (1) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA minus unfinanced capital expenditures, cash taxes and cash dividends or distributions, to (2) the sum of all funded debt payments for the four-quarter period then ending (with customary add-backs permitted to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA). The ABL Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants similar to those in the Term Loan Facility, together with such additional terms as are customary for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Term Loan and ABL Facilities. Equipment Term Loans and Mortgages As of September 30, 2019, the Company had term loans collateralized by equipment in the aggregate amount of $194.2 million with 32 lenders (Equipment Term Loans). The Equipment Term Loans bear interest at rates ranging from 1.5% to 10.7%, require monthly payments of principal and interest and mature at various dates through January 2028. Certain of the Equipment Term Loans contain conditions, covenants, representations and warranties, events of default, and indemnification provisions applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are customary for equipment financings, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional debt and the prepayment of existing indebtedness, certain payments (including dividends and other distributions to persons not party to its credit facility) and transfers of assets. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has a bank mortgage loan with a balance of $3.3 million incurred to finance the construction of the headquarters and terminal in Redmond, Oregon. The mortgage loan is collateralized by such property and buildings. The mortgage is payable in monthly installments of $15,776, including interest at 3.7% through November 2020. The interest rate and monthly payments will be adjusted on November 1, 2020 to a rate of 2.5%, plus the three-year advance rate published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle in effect 45 days prior to November 1, 2020 (which will not be less than 3.7%). The bank mortgage loan matures November 1, 2023. Finance and Capital Leases The Company leases certain equipment under long-term finance and capital lease agreements that expire on various dates through May 2025. As of December 31, 2018, the book value of the property and equipment recorded under capital leases was $16.6 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $7.8 million. Depreciation expense related to capital lease equipment was $0.8 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY	NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock Common stock has voting rights – one vote for each share of common stock. On February 14, 2018, the Company and one of the Company’s stockholders entered into an underwriting agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an underwritten public offering of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price to the public of $10.60 per share. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,125,000 shares of common stock, which was exercised in full on February 16, 2018 and closed simultaneously with the offering on February 20, 2018. Net proceeds received by the Company were approximately $84.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company has used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment or refinancing. On June 1, 2018, after having met the earnout provisions contained in the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pro rata among the Private Daseke Stockholders (Earnout Shares). The Earnout Shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering on the basis that the securities were offered and sold in a non-public offering to “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). Private Daseke, which refers to Daseke, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the merger with Hennessy, engaged a purchaser representative to serve as the purchaser representative for two Private Daseke stockholders who were not “accredited investors,” which purchaser representative met all of the conditions set forth in Rule 501(i) of Regulation D, as required to comply with applicable federal securities laws in connection with the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to these two Private Daseke stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On June 6, 2018, as part of the consideration paid for the Aveda acquisition, the Company issued 1,612,979 shares of Daseke common stock valued at $15.4 million.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuances of stock options and restricted stock units under the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. See Note 12 for additional details about the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. Preferred Stock The Company has issued and outstanding 650,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a redemption value of $65.0 million. The par value of Series A Preferred Stock is $0.0001 per share. Additional features of this preferred stock are as follows: Under the Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Designations), each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the holder’s option at any time, initially into approximately 8.6957 shares of the Company’s common stock (assuming a conversion price of approximately $11.50 per share), subject to specified adjustments as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. If any holder elects to convert its Series A Preferred Stock after the seven-year anniversary of the issue date, if the then-current Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) exceeds the Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for the common stock during any ten consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), at its option by delivery of a Notice of Conversion in accordance with Section 8(b) of the Certificate of Designations no later than five business days following such tenth consecutive Trading Day, to convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into, at the Company’s sole discretion, either common stock, cash or a combination of common stock and cash; provided, that the Company shall provide such converting holder notice of its election within two Trading Days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion; provided further, that in the event the Company elects to issue common stock for all or a portion of such conversion, the Conversion Rate for such conversion (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11 of the Certificate of Designations) shall mean the quotient of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) divided by the average Weighted Average Price for the common stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which the Company provided such notice. If the Company does not elect a settlement method prior to the deadline set forth in the Certificate of Designations, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to settle the conversion entirely in common stock. Based on the assumed conversion rate, a total of 5,652,173 shares of common stock would be issuable upon conversion of all of the currently outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On or after the third anniversary of the initial issuance date but prior to the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance date, the Company will have the right, at its option, to give notice of its election to cause all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion rate, if the Weighted Average Price of Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the then-current conversion price for at least 20-trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive trading days. On or after the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance date but prior to the seventh anniversary of the initial issuance date, the Company will have the right, at its option, to give notice of its election to cause all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion rate, if the Weighted Average Price of Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 115% of the then-current conversion price for at least 20-trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive trading days. On or after the seventh anniversary of the initial issuance date, the Company will have the right, at its option, to give notice of its election to cause all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of Company’s common stock at the then-effective conversion rate, if the Weighted Average Price of Company’s common stock equals or exceeds the then-current conversion price for at least 10 consecutive trading days. If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes (as more fully described in the Certificate of Designations but including, among other things, certain change-in-control transactions, recapitalizations, asset sales and liquidation events), each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock may, within 15 days following the effective date of such fundamental change and at the election of the holder, be converted into Company’s common stock at a conversion rate (subject to certain adjustments) equal to (i) the greater of (A) the sum of the conversion rate on the effective date of such fundamental change plus the additional shares received by holders of Series A Preferred Stock following such fundamental change (as set forth in the Certificate of Designations) and (B) the quotient of (x) $100.00, divided by (y) the greater of (1) the applicable holder stock price and (2) 66 2/3% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the issue date plus (ii) the number of shares of Company’s common stock that would be issued if any and all accumulated and unpaid dividends were paid in shares of Company’s common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock contains limitations that prevent the holders thereof from acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion that would result in (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then outstanding or (ii) the Series A Preferred Stock being converted into more than 19.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the initial issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or other similar recapitalization) without, in the latter instance, stockholder approval of such issuance. Additional features of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows: a. Liquidation – In the event of liquidation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock have preferential rights to liquidation payments over holders of common stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid out of the assets of the Company at an amount equal to $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends. b. Dividends – Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative at the Dividend Rate. The “Dividend Rate” is the rate per annum of 7.625% per share of Series A Preferred Stock on the liquidation preference ($100 per share). Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears in cash or, at the Company’s election and subject to the receipt of the necessary shareholder approval (to the extent necessary), in shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 27, 2019 the Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $1.91 per share, which was paid on March 15, 2019.

Voting rights – Except as required by Delaware law, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except with respect to the approval of any material and adverse amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, and certain significant holders of Series A Preferred Stock may have approval rights with respect to certain key economic terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Warrants At September 30, 2019, there were a total of 35,040,658 warrants outstanding to purchase 17,520,329 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued warrants (the Public Warrants) to purchase its common stock which were originally issued as part of units in the initial public offering (the IPO) of Hennessy (as defined below). There are 19,959,902 Public Warrants outstanding. The Company also issued 15,080,756 warrants (the Private Placement Warrants) to the sponsor in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.75 per one-half of one share ($11.50 per whole share), subject to adjustment. The warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will expire on February 27, 2022, five years after the completion of the merger with Hennessy, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The warrants are listed on the NASDAQ market under the symbol DSKEW. The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption at a price of $0.01 per warrant if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	9 Months Ended

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	NOTE 12 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Company may grant awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and performance awards. Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 4.5 million shares of common stock. All awards granted were authorized under the Plan. These awards generally vest annually on a pro-rata basis over a five-year period on the anniversary of each grant date. We also grant awards to our directors under the Plan. The awards granted to directors vest ratably over periods of o ne, two or five years annually on the anniversary of each grant date. All stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized on a straight-line basis as expense over the employees’ requisite service period. Forfeitures are recorded as a cumulative adjustment to stock-based compensation expense in the period forfeitures occur. Aggregate stock-based compensation charges, net of forfeitures, were $1.0 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2.9 million and $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These expenses are included as a component of salaries, wages and employee benefits on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2019, there was $4.9 million and $6.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock units, respectively. This expense will be recognized over the weighted average periods of 3.1 years for stock options and 2.7 years for restricted stock units. Stock Options The following table summarizes stock option grants under the Plan: Grantee Type # of Issued and Vesting Weighted Weighted Average Director Group 150,000 115,000 5 years $ 9.98 $ 4.36 Employee Group 2,632,730 2,363,874 3-5 years $ 8.56 $ 3.70 Total 2,478,874 The Company’s calculations of the fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the Company’s stock option grants was estimated utilizing the following assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2019: Weighted average expected life 6.3 years Risk-free interest rate 1.45% to 2.58% Expected volatility 32.52% to 37.91% Expected dividend yield 0.00% Since the Company does not have a sufficient history of exercise behavior, expected term is calculated using the assumption that the options will be exercised ratably from the date of vesting to the end of the contractual term for each vesting tranche of awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period of the expected term of the stock option. Expected volatility is calculated using an index of publicly traded peer companies.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS	NOTE 15 – REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Company evaluates the performance of the segments primarily based on their respective revenues and operating income. Accordingly, interest expense and other non-operating items are not reported in segment results. In addition, the Company has disclosed a corporate segment, which is not an operating segment and includes acquisition transaction expenses, corporate salaries, interest expense and other corporate administrative expenses and intersegment eliminations. The Company’s operating segments also provide transportation and related services for one another. Such services are generally billed at cost, and no profit is earned. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated results. Intersegment revenues and expenses for the Flatbed Solutions segment totaled $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $7.5 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Intersegment revenues and expenses for the Specialized Solutions segment totaled $4.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $8.8 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMM_2

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2019
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 (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 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, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018 as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019. Certain items have been reclassified for presentation purposes to conform to the accounting policies of the consolidated entity. These reclassifications had no material impact on income from operations, net loss and comprehensive loss, the balance sheets or statements of cash flows.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Daseke, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Deferred Financing Fees	Deferred Financing Fees In conjunction with obtaining long-term debt, the Company incurred financing costs which are being amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the obligations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the balance of deferred finance charges was $12.5 million and $16.2 million, respectively, which is included as a reduction of long-term debt, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense was $0.9 million and $0.7 million the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the third quarter of 2019, the Company expensed $2.0 million to write-off certain deferred financing fees due to unsuccessful efforts to restructure the debt facilities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is indicated. A loss is then recognized for the difference, if any, between the fair value of the asset (as estimated by management using its best judgment) and the carrying value of the asset. If actual market value is less favorable than that estimated by management, additional write-downs may be required. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized asset impairments, which are more fully described in Notes 2, 5 and 7.
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. Contingent Consideration The contingent consideration liabilities, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, represent future payment obligations for certain EBITDA thresholds related to the Company’s acquisitions over a defined period of time. See Note 3 for additional details on the future payment obligations connected to the Company’s acquisitions. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities are determined using estimates based on discount rates that reflect the risk involved and the projected EBITDA of the acquired businesses, therefore the liabilities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value framework. The balance of contingent consideration as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $21.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively. The table below is a summary of the changes in the fair value of this liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in millions): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 21.9 $ 0.8 Fair value of earn-out liability for acquisition — 20.3 Change in fair value (0.4) (0.7) Balance at end of period $ 21.5 $ 20.4
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Awards of equity instruments issued to employees and directors are accounted for under the fair value method of accounting and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Compensation cost is measured for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognized using the straight-line method over the service period over which the awards are expected to vest. Fair value of all time-vested options as of the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Since the Company does not have a sufficient history of exercise behavior, expected term is calculated using the assumption that the options will be exercised ratably from the date of vesting to the end of the contractual term for each vesting tranche of awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period of the expected term of the stock option. Expected volatility is calculated using an index of publicly traded peer companies. Fair values of non-vested stock awards (restricted stock units) are equal to the market value of the common stock on the date of the award with compensation costs amortized over the vesting period of the award.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has determined it had 16 operating segments as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 that are aggregated into two reportable segments: Flatbed Solutions, which delivers its services using primarily flatbed transportation equipment to meet the needs of high-volume, time-sensitive shippers, and Specialized Solutions, which delivers transportation and logistics solutions for super heavy haul, high-value customized and over-dimensional loads, many of which require engineering and customized equipment.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of earnings per share 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 (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, shares of the Company’s 7.625% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) and outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their effects were anti-dilutive. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no dilutive effect from the Merger Agreement earn-out provision found in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 22, 2016, in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. II (Hennessy) merged with and into Daseke, with Daseke surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Hennessy, (the Merger Agreement) or the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the common stock purchase warrants). See Note 16 for the effects of non-vested restricted stock units on basic and diluted earnings per share under the two-class method.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants	Common Stock Purchase Warrants The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants in connection with equity offerings in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The Company classifies as equity any contract that (i) requires physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contract that (i) requires net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). See Note 11 for additional details on the common stock purchase warrants. The Company assessed the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and determined that such instruments meet the criteria for equity classification at the time of issuance.
Foreign Currency Gains and Losses	Foreign Currency Gains and Losses The functional currency for all operations except Canada is the U.S. dollar. The local currency is the functional currency for the Company’s operations in Canada. For these operations, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the consolidated balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. The resulting gains or losses arising from the translation of accounts from the functional currency into U.S. dollars are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income until a partial or complete liquidation of the Company’s net investment in the foreign operation. From time to time, the Company’s foreign operations may enter into transactions that are denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency of the operating company based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Monthly, these transactions are remeasured to an equivalent amount of the functional currency based on the applicable exchange rate in effect on the remeasurement date. Any adjustment required to remeasure a transaction to the equivalent amount of functional currency is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of the foreign operating company as a component of foreign exchange gain or loss.
Assets Held For Sale	Assets Held for Sale Through December 31, 2018, assets held for sale were primarily comprised of revenue equipment in the Company’s lease purchase program and recorded as a component of prepaid and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held for sale were not subject to depreciation, and were recorded at the lower of depreciated carrying value or fair market value less selling costs. Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2018, totaled $3.6 million, consisting of $2.7 million for the Flatbed Solutions segment and $0.9 million for the Specialized Solutions. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), the revenue equipment in the Company’s lease purchase program no longer meets the criteria for assets held for sale. See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02.
Revenue and Expense Recognition	Revenue and Expense Recognition The Company’s revenue and related costs are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) transferring goods or services to the customer and the customer obtains control of such goods and services. With respect to freight, brokerage, logistics and fuel surcharge revenue, these conditions are met, and the Company recognizes company freight, owner operator freight, brokerage and fuel surcharge revenue, over time, and logistics revenue, as the services are provided. While the Company may enter into master service agreements with its customers, a contract is not established until the customer specifically requests the Company’s services and the Company accepts. The Company evaluates each contract for distinct performance obligations. In the Company’s business, a typical performance obligation is the transportation of a load including any highly interrelated ancillary services. The Company predominantly estimates the standalone selling price of its services based upon observable evidence, market conditions and other relevant inputs. The Company allocates the total transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based upon the relative standalone selling prices. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s contracts; therefore, revenue is recognized over time. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation, as the customer does not need to re-perform the transportation services the Company has provided to date. Generally, the Company’s customers are billed upon delivery of the freight or monthly and remit payment according to the approved payment terms. Freight Revenue Freight revenue is generated by hauling customer freight using company owned equipment (company freight) and owner-operator equipment (owner-operator freight). Freight revenue is the product of the number of revenue-generating miles driven and the rate per mile received from customers plus accessorial charges, such as loading and unloading freight, cargo protection, fees for detained equipment or fees for route planning and supervision. Brokerage Revenue The Company regularly engages third-party capacity providers to haul loads. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide load transportation services, and has discretion in setting prices, along with the risk to fulfill the contract to the customer. Based upon this evaluation, the Company has determined that it is the principal and therefore, records gross revenues and expenses for brokerage services. Logistics Revenue Logistics revenue is generated from a range of services, including value-added warehousing, loading and unloading, vehicle maintenance and repair, preparation and packaging, fuel management, and other fleet management solutions. The Company recognizes logistics revenue as services are completed. Fuel Surcharge Fuel surcharge revenue compensates the Company for fuel costs above a certain cost per gallon base. Generally, the Company receives fuel surcharges on the miles for which it is compensated by customers. The Company has designated the following preference and practical expedients: · To not disclose remaining performance obligations when the expected performance obligation duration is one year or less. The vast majority of the Company’s services transfer control within a month of the inception of the contract with select specialized loads taking several months to allow for increased planning and permitting. · Recognize the incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract as an expense when incurred, as the amortization period of a potential asset would be recognized in one year or less. · Exclude taxes collected on behalf of government authorities from the Company’s measurement of transaction prices. Tax amounts are not included within net income or cost of sales.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) . ASU 2017-11 provides guidance on accounting for financial instruments with down round features and clarifies the deferral of certain provisions in Topic 480. ASU 2017-11 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2019, which did not impact the 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. 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 currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
