(8) Equity Investment | |
We own a 45% equity interest in MWL, a third-party provider of logistics services to the transportation industry. A non-related party owns the other 55% equity interest in MWL. Pursuant to the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities (VIE) Subsections of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, we included the accounts of MWL in our consolidated financial statements from April 1, 2004 to March 27, 2013, as we were deemed to be the entity’s primary beneficiary. On March 28, 2013, the other member of MWL made a capital contribution to MWL which triggered a VIE reconsideration event, and it was determined that MWL is no longer considered a VIE as of that date. Accordingly, we deconsolidated MWL and have accounted for our ownership interest in MWL under the equity method of accounting, effective as of March 28, 2013. | |
Under the deconsolidation accounting guidelines, the investor’s opening investment is recorded at fair value as of the date of deconsolidation. The difference between this initial fair value of the investment and the net carrying value is recognized as a gain or loss in earnings. We completed a valuation analysis and have determined that the net carrying value of our equity interest in MWL as of March 28, 2013 of $2.6 million is equal to its fair value and, as such, no gain or loss was recognized upon deconsolidation of MWL. In determining the fair value, we utilized a combination of the income and market approaches, and equally weighed the business enterprise value of MWL provided by each approach. The income approach included the following inputs and assumptions: (a) an expectation regarding the growth of MWL’s revenue at a compounded average growth rate; (b) a perpetual long-term growth rate; and (c) a discount rate that was based on MWL’s estimated weighted average cost of capital. The market approach included a range of multiples of selected comparable companies applied to MWL’s financial metrics for the trailing twelve months in order to obtain an indication of MWL’s business enterprise value on a minority, marketable basis. | |
Due to the significance of inputs used in determining the fair value of our equity interest in MWL that are unobservable, the investment is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes from Level 1 to Level 3 the inputs to fair value valuation techniques under the provisions of the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. Fair value measurements using Level 1 inputs provide the most reliable measure of fair value, while Level 3 inputs generally require significant management judgment. | |
Following the deconsolidation, as an equity method investment, MWL is considered a related party. We received $6.3 million and $7.2 million of our revenue for loads transported by our tractors and arranged by MWL in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Prior to deconsolidation effective March 28, 2013, these inter-segment revenues were eliminated in consolidation. Inter-segment revenue eliminated in consolidation was $2.1 million and $7.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, we also had a trade receivable in the amount of $881,000 from MWL and an accrued liability of $2.3 million to MWL for the excess of payments by MWL’s customers into our lockbox account over the amounts drawn on the account by MWL. |

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | ' | ||||||||||||||||
(11) Business Segments | |||||||||||||||||
We have seven operating segments that have been aggregated into two reporting segments (Truckload and Logistics) for financial reporting purposes. The primary source of our operating revenue is truckload revenue, which we generate by transporting freight for our customers and report within our Truckload segment. Generally, we are paid by the mile for our services. We also derive truckload revenue from fuel surcharges, loading and unloading activities, equipment detention and other ancillary services. | |||||||||||||||||
Our operating revenue also includes revenue reported within our Logistics segment, which consists of revenue from our internal brokerage and intermodal operations, and through our 45% interest in MWL, a third-party provider of logistics services to the transportation industry, until we deconsolidated MWL effective March 28, 2013. Brokerage services involve arranging for another company to transport freight for our customers while we retain the billing, collection and customer management responsibilities. Intermodal services involve the transport of our trailers on railroad flatcars for a portion of a trip, with the balance of the trip using our tractors or, to a lesser extent, contracted carriers. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated our operating revenue and operating income by segment. We do not prepare separate balance sheets by segment and, as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. | |||||||||||||||||

(12) Use of Estimates | |
We must make estimates and assumptions to prepare the consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated condensed financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are primarily related to insurance and claims accruals and depreciation. Ultimate results could differ from these estimates. |
