Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 2 – NOTE RECEIVABLE During 2010, the Company sold its terminal facility in Shreveport, Louisiana. In connection with this sale, the Company received cash in the amount of $0.2 million and a note receivable in the amount of $2.1 million due November 2015, which was recorded in the line item “Other receivables” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The purchaser/debtor defaulted on the note receivable by not making the principal payment in November 2015, and the Company is undertaking actions to collect. The note receivable is collateralized by a first priority mortgage on the property. The Company believes, based on a recent appraisal, the value of the property exceeds the amount of the note receivable plus collection costs. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded. The Company had previously deferred $0.7 million of gain on the sale of the property, with gain recognized into earnings only as payments on the note receivable were received. In February 2016, the Company and the purchaser-debtor modified the original asset sale agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Original Agreement”) for the property as a result of the default by the purchaser debtor in November 2015. The modifications to the Original Agreement are as follows: (1) As of January 1, 2016, the purchaser/debtor will no longer make monthly payments to the Company, as required under the Original Agreement. (2) The purchaser/debtor agrees that in addition to the balloon payment of $1.9 million, the Company shall also be entitled to receive 25% of the net sale proceeds from any future sale (including any foreclosure sale) of the property in excess of the balloon payment, closing costs, and realtor commissions. (3) At any time, the Company retains the right to enforce its rights as creditor, mortgagee, and holder of vendor’s privilege and declare the unpaid portion of the purchase price, interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees immediately due and payable. The Company’s rights include instituting foreclosure proceedings and/or other legal action.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING The Company’s two reportable segments are Trucking and USAT Logistics. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company rebranded its asset-light business, formerly known as Strategic Capacity Solutions (“SCS”) as USAT Logistics (“USAT Logistics”). Trucking USAT Logistics. 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 USAT Logistics, 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 USAT Logistics 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 USAT Logistics are specifically identifiable direct costs or are allocated to USAT Logistics based on relevant drivers. A summary of operating revenue by segment is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Operating revenue Trucking revenue $ 73,644 $ 85,369 $ 225,430 $ 275,617 Trucking intersegment eliminations (277 ) (387 ) (857 ) (1,421 ) Trucking operating revenue 73,367 84,982 224,573 274,196 USAT Logistics revenue 33,476 39,505 106,473 119,781 USAT Logistics intersegment eliminations (1,385 ) (997 ) (5,082 ) (4,027 ) USAT Logistics operating revenue 32,091 38,508 101,391 115,754 Total operating revenue $ 105,458 $ 123,490 $ 325,964 $ 389,950 Operating revenue includes foreign revenue generated in Mexico and Canada of $9.4 million and $28.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $10.7 million and $32.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Long-term Debt [Text Block]	NOTE 7 – LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Revolving credit agreement $ 99,700 $ 70,400 Total debt $ 99,700 $ 70,400 In February 2015, the Company entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as agent (“Agent”). Contemporaneously with the funding of the Credit Facility, the Company paid off the obligations under and terminated its prior credit facility. The Credit Facility is structured as a $170.0 million revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that, so long as no event of default exists, allows the Company to request an increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $80.0 million, exercisable in increments of $20.0 million. The Credit Facility is a five-year facility scheduled to terminate on February 5, 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as either “base rate loans” or “LIBOR loans”. Base rate loans accrue interest at a base rate equal to the Agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin that was set at 0.50% through May 31, 2016 and adjusted quarterly thereafter between 0.25% and 1.00% based on the Company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. LIBOR loans accrue interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that was set at 1.50% through May 31, 2016 and adjusted quarterly thereafter between 1.25% and 2.00% based on the Company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility includes, within its $170.0 million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount of $15.0 million and a swing line sub-facility (the “Swing line”) in an aggregate amount of $20.0 million. An unused line fee of 0.25% is applied to the average daily amount by which the lenders’ aggregate revolving commitments exceed the outstanding principal amount of revolver loans and the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for any real estate or revenue equipment financed outside the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base limited to the lesser of (A) $170.0 million; or (B) the sum of (i) 90% of eligible investment grade accounts receivable (reduced to 85% in certain situations), plus (ii) 85% of eligible non-investment grade accounts receivable, plus (iii) the lesser of (a) 85% of eligible unbilled accounts receivable and (b) $10.0 million, plus (iv) the product of 85% multiplied by the net orderly liquidation value percentage applied to the net book value of eligible revenue equipment, plus (v) 85% multiplied by the net book value of otherwise eligible newly acquired revenue equipment that has not yet been subject to an appraisal. The Credit Facility contains a single springing financial covenant, which requires the Company to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0. The financial covenant applies only in the event excess availability under the Credit Facility drops below 10% of the lenders’ total commitments under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated, and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. The Credit Facility contains certain restrictions and covenants relating to, among other things, share repurchase, dividends, liens, acquisitions and dispositions, affiliate transactions, and the incurrence of other indebtedness. The average interest rate, including all borrowings made under the Credit Facility, as of September 30, 2016 was 2.5%. As debt is repriced on a monthly basis, the borrowings under the Credit Facility approximate fair value. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding $4.3 million in letters of credit and had approximately $51.0 million available under the Credit Facility.

Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 8 – LEASES AND Commitments CAPITAL LEASES The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases with terms ranging from 15 to 60 months. Capitalized Costs Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value September 30, 2016 $ 66,976 15,294 51,682 December 31, 2015 45,170 12,896 32,274 The Company has capitalized lease obligations at September 30, 2016 of $51.4 million, of which $17.1 million represents the current portion. Such leases have various termination dates extending through September 2020 and contain renewal or fixed price purchase options. The effective interest rates on the leases range from nil to 3.11% as of September 30, 2016. The lease agreements require payment of property taxes, maintenance and operating expenses. Amortization of capital leases was $1.8 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.8 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company completed two sale-leaseback transactions under which it sold certain owned tractors to an unrelated party for net proceeds of $19.9 million and entered into two capital leases each with a term of 48 months with the buyer. At September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $0.1 million representing the total gain on the sales and will amortize such amount to earnings ratably over the lease term. The deferred gain is included in the deferred gain line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. OPERATING LEASES The Company has entered into leases with lessors who do not participate in the Credit Facility. Rent expense associated with operating leases was $2.3 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 9 – INCOME tAXES During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was 23.4% and 44.2%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s effective tax rates were 29.5% and 44.0%, 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. Per diem pay is partially nondeductible under current IRS regulations. 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, while in periods where earnings are at or near breakeven, the impact of the per diem program on the Company’s effective tax rate can be significant. Due to the 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. When the result of the expected annual effective tax rate is not deemed reliable, as was recently the case for the second and third quarters of 2016, and distorts the income tax provision for an interim period, the Company calculates the income tax provision or benefit using the cut-off method, which results in an income tax provision or benefit based solely on the year-to-date pretax income or loss as adjusted for permanent differences on a pro rata basis.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	NOTE 10 – (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) 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 and restricted stock. The computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on (loss) income per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (734 ) $ 2,727 $ (3,887 ) $ 7,132 Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share – weighted average shares 8,069 10,442 8,736 10,439 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock options and restricted stock -- 28 -- 76 Denominator for diluted earnings per share – adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversion 8,069 10,470 8,736 10,515 Basic (loss) earnings per share $ (0.09 ) $ 0.26 $ (0.44 ) $ 0.68 Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (0.09 ) $ 0.26 $ (0.44 ) $ 0.68 Weighted average anti-dilutive employee stock options and restricted stock 17 59 12 69

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is party to routine litigation incidental to its business, primarily involving claims for personal injury and property damage incurred in the transportation of freight. The Company maintains insurance to cover liabilities in excess of certain self-insured retention levels. It is the opinion of management that these claims are immaterial to the Company’s long-term financial position; however, adverse results related to one or more of these claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in any given reporting period.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	NOTE 12 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 revenue 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 provides for 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). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue From Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date”, which delayed the effectiveness of ASU 2014-09 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2019, will require a modified retrospective transition approach and will include a number of practical expedients. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 13 – RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER COSTS During the first quarter of 2016, the Company took steps to streamline and simplify its operations to better align its cost structure. In the Company’s Trucking segment, the Company closed its maintenance facilities in Forest Park, Georgia and South Holland, Illinois. Additionally, in the Company’s USAT Logistics segment, the Company closed branch offices located at Olathe, Kansas and Salt Lake City, Utah. The headcount reduction reflected a total of 47 team members across multiple departments, including two contractors. Employees separated from the Company as a result of these streamlining initiatives were offered severance benefits and the termination was communicated to them on or prior to March 31, 2016. The agreements with the contractors were cancelled and cancellation penalties will be paid, where required. The expenses recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, included costs related to involuntary terminations and other direct costs associated with implementing these initiatives. Other direct costs included facility lease termination costs; costs associated with the development, communication and administration of these initiatives; and asset write-offs. At March 31, 2016, the Company incurred total pretax expenses of approximately $3.5 million related to these streamlining initiatives. The following table summarizes the Company’s liabilities, charges, and cash payments related to the restructuring plan made during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (in thousands): Accrued Balance December 31, 2015 Costs Incurred March 31, 2016 Payments Expenses/ Charges Accrued Balance September 30, 2016 Compensation and benefits $ 753 $ 768 $ (1,349 ) $ (3 ) $ 169 Facility closing expenses 20 2,779 (1,050 ) (286 ) 1,463 Spartanburg impairment -- 546 -- (546 ) -- Fuel tank write-off -- 524 -- (524 ) -- Out of period adjustment -- 647 -- (647 ) -- Total $ 773 $ 5,264 $ (2,399 ) $ (2,006 ) $ 1,632 Costs Incurred Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Trucking $ 4,848 $ 2,893 USAT Logistics 416 -- Total $ 5,264 $ 2,893 On May 19, 2016, (the “Separation Date”), the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved a separation agreement between Michael K. Borrows and the Company (the “Separation Agreement”) and accepted Mr. Borrows’ resignation as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The benefits provided to Mr. Borrows under the Separation Agreement are substantially consistent with benefits Mr. Borrows would have been entitled to receive under his previously disclosed Executive Severance and Change in Control Agreement, dated July 29, 2015, if the Company had terminated his employment without Cause (as defined therein). Under the terms of the Separation Agreement Mr. Borrows will receive: (i) severance pay equal to his current base salary ($300,000 per year) for a period of eighteen months following the Separation Date and (ii) a lump sum payment of $180,000, representing the target amount of short term cash incentive compensation that would have been awarded to and earned by him under the 2016 Management Bonus Plan, assuming all performance and other vesting criteria were satisfied at the target level for 2016. In addition, the Separation Agreement contains a customary release of claims, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality covenants in favor of the Company. During second quarter 2016, the Company recognized severance costs associated with Mr. Borrows’ departure of approximately $0.7 million, which are recorded in the “Salaries, wages and employee benefits” line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. At September 30, 2016, the Company has approximately $0.4 million accrued for severance benefits still to be paid to Mr. Borrows.
