Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 1 –Basis of Presentation
	In the opinion of the management of USA Truck, Inc., the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and footnotes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited condensed consolidated financial statements at that date, revised for the effect of the prior period revision of our deferred tax liability referred to in footnote 12. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
	The Company has two reportable segments: (i) Trucking, consisting of Truckload and Dedicated Freight and (ii) Strategic Capacity Solutions (“SCS”), consisting of the Company’s freight brokerage and rail intermodal service offerings. Based on several factors, including the relatively small size of the Company’s rail intermodal service offering and the interrelationship of the freight brokerage and rail intermodal operations, the Company aggregates its freight brokerage and rail intermodal service offerings into a single reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]	'
Revenue Recognition [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
	Revenue generated by the Trucking segment is recognized in full upon completion of delivery of freight to the receiver’s location. For freight in transit at the end of a reporting period, revenue is recognized pro rata based on relative transit time completed as a portion of the estimated total transit time. Expenses are recognized as incurred.
	Revenue generated by the SCS segment is recognized upon completion of the services provided. The Company has responsibility for billing and collections, and as such, revenue is reported on a gross basis without deducting purchased transportation costs.
	By agreement with our customers, and consistent with industry practice, a graduated fuel surcharge is added to the rates charged to customers as diesel fuel prices increase above an agreed-upon baseline price per gallon.
	Management believes these policies most accurately reflect revenue as earned, including purchased transportation costs.

	Note 3 –SHARE-Based CompensatioN
	On May 23, 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the USA Truck, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan replaces the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and provides for the granting of incentive or nonqualified options or other equity-based awards covering up to 500,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers and other key employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2014, 480,938 shares were available for future options or other equity awards under the Incentive Plan.
	On February 25, 2014, the Executive Compensation Committee approved the USA Truck, Inc. 2014 Management Bonus Plan. Plan participants, consisting of executive and other key management personnel, will be paid a cash percentage and an equity percentage of their base salaries, payable in restricted stock, corresponding with the achievement of certain levels of consolidated 2014 pretax income.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 4 – SEGMENT REPORTING
	The Company’s two reportable segments are Trucking and SCS.
	Trucking. Trucking is comprised of Truckload and Dedicated Freight services. Truckload provides services as a medium- to long-haul common carrier. USA Truck has provided Truckload services since its inception, and derives the largest portion of its revenue from these services. Dedicated Freight provides truckload services to specific customers for shipments over particular routes at particular times utilizing Company revenue equipment.
	Strategic Capacity Solutions. SCS consists of freight brokerage and rail intermodal services. Both of these service offerings match customer shipments with available equipment of authorized carriers and provide services that complement the Company’s Trucking operations. USA Truck provides these services primarily to existing Trucking customers, many of whom prefer to rely on a single carrier, or a small group of carriers, to provide all their transportation solutions.
	In determining its reportable segments, the Company focuses on financial information, such as operating revenues, operating expense categories, operating ratios, operating income and key operating statistics, which the Company’s management uses to make operating decisions.
	Assets are not allocated to SCS, as those operations provide truckload freight services to customers through arrangements with third party carriers who utilize their own equipment. To the extent rail intermodal operations require the use of Company-owned assets; they are obtained from the Company’s Trucking segment on an as-needed basis. Depreciation and amortization expense is allocated to SCS based on the assets specifically utilized to generate revenue. All intercompany transactions between segments reflect rates similar to those that would be negotiated with independent third parties. All other expenses for SCS are specifically identifiable directed costs or are allocated to SCS based on relevant drivers.
	A summary of operating revenue by segment is as follows (in thousands):
			Operating Revenue

Property, Plant and Equipment Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 5 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Topic ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. This authoritative guidance provides that whenever there are certain significant events or changes in circumstances, the value of long-lived assets or groups of assets must be tested to determine if their value can be recovered from their future cash flows. In the event that undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying amount, the asset or group of assets must be evaluated to determine if an impairment of value exists. Impairment exists if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
	In light of our operating results in recent years, triggering events and changes in circumstances have occurred, which required us to test our long-lived assets for recoverability as of September 30, 2014.
	Recoverability is tested for all of our long-lived assets as a single group at the entity level and the Company examines the forecasted future cash flows generated by revenue equipment, including its eventual disposition, to determine if those cash flows exceed the carrying value of long-lived assets. As of September 30, 2014, the Company determined that no impairment of value existed.

	Revolving credit agreement	$	63,500	$	64,000
	Credit Agreement
	In 2012, the Company entered into a $125.0 million Revolver with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent, and PNC Bank. The Revolver, which expires in 2017, is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and includes letters of credit not to exceed $15.0 million. In addition, the Revolver has an accordion feature whereby the Company may elect to increase the size of the Revolver by up to $50.0 million, subject to customary conditions and lender participation. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base with advances against eligible billed and unbilled accounts receivable and eligible revenue equipment, and has a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Company’s business assets (excluding tractors and trailers financed through capital leases and real estate). Proceeds are used to finance working capital, to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. The Revolver bears interest at rates typically based on the Wells Fargo prime rate or LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% based on average excess availability. The Revolver contains a minimum excess availability requirement equal to 15.0% of the maximum revolver amount (currently $18.8 million) and an annual capital expenditure limit ($73.5 million in 2014 and with further increases thereafter).
	Under the Revolver’s terms, the Company is required to maintain a minimum collateral cushion above the maximum facility size, referred to as “suppressed availability.” During 2014 (after giving effect to an amendment to the Revolver signed on March 14, 2014, and effective as of December 31, 2013), if a minimum suppressed availability threshold of $30.0 million is not maintained, our borrowing availability will reduce by the amount of the shortfall below $30.0 million. After 2014, if the minimum suppressed availability threshold is not maintained, the advance rate on eligible revenue equipment will reduce and a permanent amortization of the revenue equipment portion of the Company’s borrowing base at the rate of 1/72nd, or approximately $1.6 million, per month would trigger based on the September 30, 2014, revenue equipment collateral. At September 30, 2014, the suppressed availability was $42.8 million, which did not reduce the Company’s borrowing availability. Future fluctuations in the amount and value of equipment serving as collateral under the Revolver will impact borrowing availability. If suppressed availability falls below $20.0 million, there will be additional restrictions on which items of revenue equipment may be included as eligible revenue equipment. The Revolver does not contain any financial maintenance covenants, but does contain certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, dividends, liens, acquisitions and dispositions outside the ordinary course of business and affiliate transactions. The Revolver includes usual and customary events of default for a credit facility of this nature.
	The Company had no overnight borrowings under the Revolver at September 30, 2014. The average interest rate including all borrowings made under the Revolver as of September 30, 2014 was 2.5%. As debt is repriced on a monthly basis, the borrowings under the Revolver approximate fair value. As September 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding $3.8 million in letters of credit and had approximately $38.9 million available under the Revolver (net of the required minimum availability of approximately $18.8 million).

	CAPITAL LEASES
	USA Truck leases certain equipment under capital leases with terms ranging from 15 to 60 months. Balances related to these capitalized leases are included in property and equipment in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and are set forth in the table below for the periods indicated (in thousands).
		Capitalized Costs		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

	31-Dec-13		84,410		20,942		63,468
	The Company has capitalized lease obligations relating to revenue equipment in the amount of $50.9 million, of which $22.3 million represents the current portion. Such leases have various termination dates extending through August 2018 and contain renewal or fixed price purchase options. The effective interest rates on the leases range from 1.6% to 3.1% as of September 30, 2014. The lease agreements require payment of property taxes, maintenance and operating expenses. The Company has entered into various long-term financing agreements of approximately $0.6 million for the purchases of information technology (“IT”) related hardware which bears imputed interest ranging from 3.1% to 4.5%. Amortization of capital leases was $3.1 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $3.5 million and $9.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
	OPERATING LEASES
	Rent expense associated with operating leases was $1.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.5 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Rent expense relating to tractors, trailers and other operating equipment is included in operations and maintenance expense, while rent expense relating to office equipment is included in other operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
	As of September 30, 2014, the Company has entered into leases with lessors who do not participate in the Revolver. Currently, such leases do not contain cross-default provisions with the Revolver.
	As of September 30, 2014, the future minimum payments under capitalized leases with initial terms of one year or more and future rentals under operating leases for certain facilities, office equipment and revenue equipment with initial terms of one year or more were as follows for the years indicated (in thousands).
		2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter

	OTHER COMMITMENTS
	In February 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the use of up to $20.0 million in new capital leases under existing facilities through 2014 and the Company has not utilized any of this authorization as of September 30, 2014. For the remainder of 2014 and 2015, the Company had approximately $0.4 million in commitments for purchases of non-revenue equipment and commitments for purchases of revenue equipment in the amount of approximately $23.1 million. The Company anticipates taking delivery of these purchases throughout the remainder of 2014 and into 2015.
	In October 2013, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a retention bonus plan (the “Retention Bonus Plan”) and a change in control/severance plan (the “Management Severance Plan”) for certain of the Company’s officers and members of the management team. The Executive Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to adopt a Retention Bonus Plan and the Management Severance Plan as a means of assuring the continued focus of the new and expanded management team that is critical to the successful execution of the Company’s turnaround strategy.
	On April 11, 2014, each participant in the Retention Bonus Plan, who was employed on October 30, 2013, received a percentage of their annualized base salary, determined as of the date of adoption of the Retention Bonus Plan. Mr. John Simone, President and CEO, received a partial payment of his bonus in December 2013. If a participant in the Retention Bonus Plan voluntarily terminates their employment at any time after receipt of the bonus payment and before the one-year anniversary of the adoption of the Retention Bonus Plan, or October 30, 2014, the plan participant will be required to repay their retention bonus award to the Company.
	The Management Severance Plan provides that the plan participants enter into substantially identical Change in Control/Severance Agreements with the Company (each, a “Severance Agreement”) and are entitled to certain severance benefits thereunder if (i) following adoption of the Management Severance Plan, a participant is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) other than in connection with or following a “change in control” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) (the “Severance Benefit”) or (ii) in the event of and for the twelve-month period following a “change in control,” the Company or its successor terminates a participant’s employment without “cause” or the participant is subject to a “constructive termination” (as defined in the Severance Agreement) (the “Change-in-Control Benefit”). The Management Severance Plan provides that the Severance Benefit and the Change-in-Control Benefit are mutually exclusive and a plan participant would not be entitled to both benefits.
	With respect to the Severance Benefit, plan participants will be entitled to receive a monthly severance payment equal to the participant’s base monthly salary at the time of termination without “cause” for a fixed period of time ranging from six months to twelve months.
	On September 12, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a firm to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Company’s response to the unsolicited proposal made by Knight Transportation, Inc., and certain potential strategic and financial alternatives. The agreement contained provisions for us to pay a retainer fee and certain other fees that would become payable upon the consummation of certain events as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has fully accrued all such fees.

	NOTE 9 –INCOME tAXES
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, effective tax rates were 40.1% and (7.6%), respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, effective tax rates were 50.2% and 25.6%, respectively. Income tax expense varies from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income tax effect, adjusted for permanent differences, the most significant of which is the effect of the per diem pay structure for the Company’s drivers. Drivers may elect to receive non-taxable per diem pay in lieu of a portion of their taxable wages. This per diem program increases the Company’s drivers’ net pay per mile, after taxes, while decreasing gross pay, before taxes. As a result, salaries, wages and employee benefits costs are slightly lower, and effective income tax rates are higher than the statutory rate. Generally, as pre-tax income increases, the impact of the driver per diem program on the effective tax rate decreases because aggregate per diem pay becomes smaller in relation to pre-tax income. Due to the partially nondeductible effect of per diem pay, the Company’s tax rate will fluctuate in future periods based on fluctuations in earnings and in the number of drivers who elect to receive this pay structure.
	The Company accounts for any uncertainty in income taxes by determining whether it is more likely than not that a tax position taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. In that regard, the Company has analyzed filing positions in its federal and applicable state tax returns as well as in all open tax years. Periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal returns are the 2011, 2012 and 2013 tax years. Management believes that the Company’s income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In conjunction with the above, the Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses. No unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded through September 30, 2014.
	The Company believes adequate provision has been made for future tax consequences based upon current facts and circumstances and current tax law; however, based on improving results from operations and other factors, the Company expects to fully utilize net operating loss carry forwards from prior years.

	Note 10 –EARNINGS (LOSS) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) 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 and restricted stock. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on income (loss) per share.

	NOTE 12 – REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD RESULTS
	During the first quarter of 2014, an error was identified for 2009 related to the calculation of the deferred income tax asset for tax net operating loss carry forwards. The error resulted in an approximate $1.6 million understatement of the net deferred tax liability and overstatement of retained earnings and stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2009, and all subsequent periods through December 31, 2013.
	Management assessed the materiality of this error in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 and concluded that the previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated.  In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, the immaterial error was corrected by revising the previously issued December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet included in this document. The effect of this revision on the line items within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows (in thousands):

	NOTE 13 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to implement this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP.
	The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard in its 2017 fiscal year.
	On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires an entity to evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance will become effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
