New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	NOTE B: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results and is disposed of or classified as held for sale. The standard also introduces several new disclosures. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2015, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The objective of ASU 2014-19 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the new guidance, an entity will (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 for public companies. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, (“ASU 2014-12”), Stock Compensation - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in this update require performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as performance conditions that affect the vesting of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE C: MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES
	The Company accounts for its marketable securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320, (“ASC Topic 320”), Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. ASC Topic 320 requires companies to classify their investments as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified as either trading or available-for-sale and consist of equity securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of these securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method and interest and dividends on securities are included in non-operating income.
	Marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities, and increases or decreases in value on trading securities, if any, are included in the determination of net income. A quarterly evaluation is performed in order to judge whether declines in value below cost should be considered temporary and when losses are deemed to be other-than-temporary. Several factors are considered in this evaluation process including the severity and duration of the decline in value, the financial condition and near-term outlook for the specific issuer and the Company’s ability to hold the securities.
	Based upon this evaluation, the Company determined that an impairment charge was not necessary for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
	The following table sets forth cost, market value and unrealized gain/(loss) on equity securities classified as available-for-sale and equity securities classified as trading as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]
Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	NOTE D: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company maintains a stock option plan under which incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and other stock awards may be granted. On March 2, 2006, the Company’s Board of Director’s adopted, and stockholders later approved, the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2006 Plan 750,000 shares were reserved for the issuance of stock options to directors, officers, key employees and others. The option exercise price under the 2006 Plan is the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. The fair market value is determined by the closing price of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option is granted. On March 13, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and on May 29, 2014, our shareholders approved, the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) which replaced the 2006 Plan. The shares which remained reserved under the 2006 Plan were transferred to the 2014 Plan and are reserved for the issuance of stock awards to directors, officers, key employees, and others. Stock option exercise price under the 2014 Plan is the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. The restricted stock purchase price under the 2014 Plan shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the award is made. The fair market value is determined by the average of the highest and lowest sales prices for a share of the Company’s common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option or award is granted.
	Outstanding nonqualified stock options at March 31, 2015, must be exercised within either five or ten years from the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors vest immediately while nonqualified stock options issued to employees vest in increments of 20% each year.
	During the first three months of 2015, 1,225 shares of common stock were granted to non-employee directors under the 2014 Plan. This stock award has a grant date fair value of $57.27 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and vests immediately.
	The total grant date fair value of stock and stock options vested during the first three months of 2015 was approximately $70,000. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in Salaries, wages and benefits during the first three months of 2015 was approximately $119,000 and includes approximately $70,000 recognized as a result of the grant of 175 shares to each non-employee director during the first quarter of 2015. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense decreased diluted and basic earnings per common share by approximately $0.01 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $492,000 which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. As a result, the Company expects to recognize approximately $148,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested option awards during the remainder of 2015 and to recognize approximately $167,000, $109,000, and $68,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested option awards during the years 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.
	The total grant date fair value of stock and stock options vested during the first three months of 2014 was approximately $60,000. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in Salaries, wages and benefits during the first three months of 2014 was approximately $86,000 and includes approximately $60,000 recognized as a result of the grant of 504 shares to each non-employee director during the first quarter of 2014. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense decreased diluted and basic earnings per common share by approximately $0.01 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $321,000 which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period.

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

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE I: INCOME TAXES
	The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal income tax laws as well as the income tax laws of multiple state jurisdictions. The major tax jurisdictions in which we operate generally provide for a deficiency assessment statute of limitation period of three years, and as a result, the Company’s tax years 2011 and forward remain open to examination in those jurisdictions.
	In determining whether a tax asset valuation allowance is necessary, management, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10-30, weighs all available evidence, both positive and negative to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is necessary. If negative conditions exist which indicate a valuation allowance might be necessary, consideration is then given to what effect the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the availability of tax strategies might have on future taxable income to determine the amount, if any, of the required valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2015, management determined that the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and available tax strategies would generate sufficient future taxable income to realize its tax assets and therefore a valuation allowance was not necessary.
	The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of March 31, 2015, an adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for uncertain tax positions has not been required as management believes that the Company’s tax positions taken in income tax returns filed or to be filed are supported by clear and unambiguous income tax laws. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has not recognized or accrued any interest or penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	NOTE J: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable equity securities, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and borrowings.
	The Company follows the guidance for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
		Level 1:		Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
		Level 2:		Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable; or other inputs not directly observable, but derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
		Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
	The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
	At March 31, 2015, the following items are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
			Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
			(in thousands)
	Marketable equity securities		$	27,377	$	27,377		-		-
	The Company’s investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
	The carrying amount for the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit interest rate is adjusted frequently.
	For long-term debt other than the lines of credit, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying value and estimated fair value of this other long-term debt at March 31, 2015 was as follows:
			Carrying		Estimated
			Value		Fair Value
			(in thousands)
	Long-term debt		$	89,335	$	89,394
	The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE M: LITIGATION
	We are a defendant in a collective-action lawsuit which was filed on August 22, 2013, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The plaintiffs, who are current and former drivers and who worked for the Company during the period of August 22, 2010, through the date of the filing, allege claims for unpaid wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Arkansas Minimum Wage Law. The complaint alleges that the Company failed to pay newly hired drivers minimum wage during orientation, training, and while traveling during normal business hours and that the Company failed to pay all drivers when working on assignment for more than 24 hours. The plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Company from continuing its current pay practices related to the allegations. They also seek actual damages, liquidated damages equal to accrual damages, court costs, and legal fees. During 2014, the Company reached a preliminary settlement with the plaintiffs in the amount of $3,950,000 and accordingly, reserved this amount, along with estimated settlement costs, in its 2014 consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company negotiated a reduction in the settlement amount to approximately $3,450,000. Should the settlement not be approved by the court, further negotiations may take place to reach a different settlement or the case may continue on to trial. Management has determined that any losses under this claim will not be covered by existing insurance policies.
