| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | Relationship between Compensation Actually Paid disclosed in the Pay Versus Performance table, and other table elements The increase in the Company’s stock price that contributed to the increased compensation actually paid to the PEO also drove the increase in the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) in 2022 versus 2021 and 2020. While the Compensation Committee considers TSR when evaluating total compensation, compensation for the PEO and non-PEO’s is largely driven by cash generation of the business as measured by EBITDA, as well as specific metrics set by the Compensation Committee, including system utilization and enhancing the overall return profile of the Company. Given the capital intensity of the business, we do not use net income as a proxy for the overall performance of the Company. | ||
