Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Business: Hub Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) provides intermodal transportation services utilizing primarily third party arrangements with railroads. Drayage can be provided by our subsidiary, Hub Group Trucking, Inc., or a third party company. We also arrange for transportation of freight by truck and perform logistics services. Transportation services are provided through our legacy business and our acquisition, Mode Transportation, LLC. We report two distinct business segments. The first segment is Mode, which includes the Mode business we acquired on April 1, 2011. The other segment is Hub, which is all business other than Mode. “Hub Group” includes both segments. | |
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all entities in which we have more than a 50% equity ownership or otherwise exercise unilateral control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents: We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in DDAs (Demand Deposit Accounts). | |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts: In the normal course of business, we extend credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. An allowance for uncollectible trade accounts has been established through an analysis of the accounts receivable aging, an assessment of collectability based on historical trends and an evaluation based on current economic conditions. To be more specific, we reserve a portion of every account balance that has aged over one year, a portion of receivables for customers in bankruptcy and certain account balances specifically identified as uncollectible. On an annual basis, we perform a hindsight analysis on Hub and Mode separately to determine each segment’s experience in collecting account balances over one year old and account balances in bankruptcy. We then use this hindsight analysis to establish our reserves for receivables over one year and in bankruptcy. In establishing a reserve for certain account balances specifically identified as uncollectible, we consider the aging of the customer receivables, the specific details as to why the receivable has not been paid, the customer’s current and projected financial results, the customer’s ability to meet and sustain their financial commitments, the positive or negative effects of the current and projected industry outlook and the general economic conditions. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is reported on the balance sheet in net accounts receivable. Our reserve for uncollectible accounts was approximately $7.0 million and $7.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when received. | |
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method at rates adequate to depreciate the cost of the applicable assets over their expected useful lives: building and improvements, up to 40 years; leasehold improvements, the shorter of useful life or lease term; computer equipment and software, up to 5 years; furniture and equipment, up to 10 years; and transportation equipment up to 15 years. Direct costs related to internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis not to exceed 5 years. Interest is capitalized on qualifying assets under development for internal use. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts with any gain or loss realized upon sale or disposal charged or credited to operations. We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the assets carrying amount over its fair value, less cost to dispose, is recorded. | |
Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired in connection with our business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. | |
We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of this asset might exceed the current fair value. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. We assess qualitative factors such as current company performance and overall economic factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the quantitative goodwill test, a company compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed, which compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value, to determine the amount of impairment. In 2014 and 2013, we performed the qualitative assessment on both the Hub and Mode reporting units. No impairment charge was recognized based on the results of the goodwill impairment tests. | |
On January 1, 2013, we adopted the FASB’s new accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangibles which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative test discussed above. As a result of our impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, which is included in the Impairment of Trade Name line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for information on this impairment charge. | |
We evaluate the potential impairment of finite-lived acquired intangible assets when impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk: Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We place our cash and temporary investments with high quality financial institutions in DDAs (Demand Deposit Accounts). We primarily serve customers located throughout the United States with no significant concentration in any one region. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2014, 2013 or 2012. We review a customer’s credit history before extending credit. In addition, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, as a consequence, believe that our trade accounts receivable risk is limited. | |
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized at the time 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) services have been rendered, 3) the sales price is fixed and determinable and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue and related transportation costs are recognized based on relative transit time. Further, in most cases, we report our revenue on a gross basis because we are the primary obligor as we are responsible for providing the service desired by the customer. Our customers view us as responsible for fulfillment including the acceptability of the service. Services requirements may include, for example, on-time delivery, handling freight loss and damage claims, setting up appointments for pick up and delivery and tracing shipments in transit. We have discretion in setting sales prices and as a result, the amount we earn varies. In addition, we have the discretion to select our vendors from multiple suppliers for the services ordered by our customers. Finally, we have credit risk for our receivables. These three factors, discretion in setting prices, discretion in selecting vendors and credit risk, further support reporting revenue on a gross basis for most of our revenue. | |
Provision for Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. We believe that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized based on future taxable income projections with the exception of $0.1 million related to state tax net operating losses for which a valuation allowance has been established. In the event the probability of realizing the remaining deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold in the future, a valuation allowance would be established for the deferred tax assets deemed unrecoverable. | |
Tax liabilities are recorded when, in management’s judgment, a tax position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition as prescribed by the guidance. For tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold, a tax liability may be recorded depending on management’s assessment of how the tax position will ultimately be settled. We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax liabilities in our provision for income taxes. | |
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share are based on the average quarterly weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are adjusted for the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and for restricted stock which are both computed using the treasury stock method. | |
Stock Based Compensation: Share-based compensation includes the restricted stock awards expected to vest based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period including an estimate of forfeitures and is included in salaries and benefits. We present excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of share-based compensation as financing cash in-flows and as operating cash out-flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. | |
New Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Standard provides guidance on how to recognize 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. For public organizations, the guidance in the update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The update provides two transition methods to the new guidance: a retrospective approach and a modified retrospective approach. Early application is not permitted. We plan to adopt this standard January 1, 2017, as required. We are currently evaluating the transition method and effect this update will have on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Topic 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment and Topic 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 25-20. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period and is to be applied prospectively. We adopted this standard January 1, 2015, as required. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue, the cost of transportation, commission expense and useful lives of equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
Reclassifications: Certain prior year immaterial amounts have been reclassified in the segment footnote to conform with the current year presentation. |

Impairment of Software | NOTE 4. Impairment of Software |
In the third quarter of 2014, the Hub segment recorded a full write-off of $11.9 million related to software development costs as a result of our decision to terminate a long-term technology project. Upon deployment in the third quarter of 2014, it was discovered that the software did not properly integrate with our current systems or meet the criteria for which it was designed. We do not believe the software can be cost effectively salvaged and it has no value on the open market. This charge is included in Impairment of software in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. |

In December 2013, we decided to change our branding strategy for Comtrak Logistics which resulted in us retiring the Comtrak name. We decided to change the name of Comtrak to Hub Group Trucking, Inc. as we believe the name change will allow us to benefit from the valuable Hub Group name with customers, vendors and drivers. In conjunction with the strategy, the Comtrak name will no longer be used, resulting in no fair value and a write off of the asset. We recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, which is included in the Impairment of trade name line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. | |||||||||||||||

We are subject to income taxation in the U.S., numerous state jurisdictions, Mexico and Canada. Because income tax return formats vary among the states, we file both unitary and separate company state income tax returns. Our state tax net operating losses of $1.4 million expire between December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2034. Management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized with the exception of $0.1 million related to state tax net operating losses for which a valuation allowance has been established. | |||||||||||||

Fair Value Measurement | NOTE 8. Fair Value Measurement |
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long term debt materially approximated fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to their short-term nature. | |
We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in Demand Deposit Accounts. | |
Restricted investments included $21.9 million and $20.8 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of mutual funds which are reported at fair value. | |
The fair value measurement of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets which are defined as “Level 1” of the fair value hierarchy in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification. | |

In December 2013, we amended our Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate and commitment fees and extend the term until December 2018. The maximum unsecured borrowing capacity remained at $50.0 million. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement ranges from LIBOR plus 1.00% to 1.75% or Prime to Prime plus 0.75%. The commitment fees charged on the unused line of credit are between 0.10% and 0.25% per annum. The financial covenants require a total leverage ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0. | ||||||||
We have standby letters of credit that expire in 2015. As of December 31, 2014, our letters of credit were $6.1 million. | ||||||||
Our unused and available borrowings under our bank revolving line of credit were $43.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and $44.8 million as of December 31, 2013. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||

In 2011, we entered into a lease agreement for 3,126 chassis for a period of 10 years. We are accounting for this lease as a capital lease. Interest on this capital lease obligation is based on interest rates that approximate currently available interest rates; therefore, indebtedness under this capital lease obligation approximates fair value. | ||||||||
We paid interest of $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to this capital lease. |

Guarantees | NOTE 12. Guarantees |
As a recruiting tool for our owner-operators, we are guaranteeing certain owner-operators’ lease payments for tractors. The guarantees expire at various dates through 2020. | |
The potential maximum exposure under these lease guarantees was approximately $27.2 million and $39.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The potential maximum exposure represents the amount of the remaining lease payments on all outstanding guaranteed leases as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. However, upon default, we have the option to purchase the tractors. We could then sell the tractors and use the proceeds to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. Alternatively, we can contract with another owner operator who would assume the lease or continue to operate the leased tractor in our company fleet. There were no material defaults during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and no potential material defaults. | |
We had a liability of approximately $0.3 million at December 31, 2014 and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2013, representing the fair value for estimated defaults of the guarantees, based on a discounted cash-flow analysis which is included in current and non-current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are amortizing the amounts over the remaining lives of the respective guarantees. |

We had one profit-sharing plan and trust as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, all under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. At our discretion, we partially match qualified contributions made by employees to the plan. We incurred expense of $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million related to these plans in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. | |
In January 2005, we established the Hub Group, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to provide added incentive for the retention of certain key employees. Under the Plan, participants can elect to defer certain compensation. Accounts will grow on a tax-deferred basis to the participant. Restricted investments included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the fair value of the mutual funds and other security investments related to the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in income and expense and offset the change in the deferred compensation liability. We provide a 50% match on the first 6% of employee compensation deferred under the Plan, with a maximum match equivalent to 3% of base salary. In addition, we have a legacy deferred compensation plan. There are no new contributions being made into this legacy plan. | |
We incurred expense of $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million related to the employer match for these plans in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The liabilities related to these plans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $22.4 million and $21.5 million, respectively. |

On January 25, 2013, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California (Sacramento Division) by Salvador Robles against our subsidiary, Comtrak Logistics, Inc., now known as Hub Group Trucking, Inc. Mr. Robles drove a truck for Hub Group Trucking in California, first as an independent contractor and then as an employee. The action seeks class certification on behalf of a class comprised of present and former California-based truck drivers for Hub Group Trucking who were classified as independent contractors, from January 2009 to the present. The complaint alleges Hub Group Trucking has misclassified such drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers were employees. The complaint asserts various violations of the California Labor Code and claims that Hub Group Trucking has engaged in unfair competition practices. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory damages and attorney’s fees. In May 2013, the complaint was amended to add similar claims based on Mr. Robles’ status as an employed company driver. These additional claims are only on behalf of Mr. Robles and not a putative class. In August 2013, the district court stayed proceedings in the case pending decisions by the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to decide whether the claims in two cases raising some similar claims should be dismissed on federal preemption grounds. In July 2014, the Court of Appeals ruled that the claims in those cases were not preempted. The case is now proceeding. | |
Two other complaints alleging substantially similar claims were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Bernardino. On July 24, 2014, Carlos Barillas filed a complaint against Hub Group Trucking seeking class certification. On October 1, 2014, Jorge Cabrera filed a complaint against Hub Group Trucking and Hub Group, Inc. on behalf of himself individually and not on behalf of a class. On November 24, 2014, Hub Group Trucking removed both cases to federal court in Los Angeles. By agreement of the parties, on December 19, 2014 the Barillas case was dismissed and we expect the claims of Mr. Barillas to be added to the Robles case. On February 6, 2015 the Cabrera case was dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a settlement between parties. | |
The Company believes that the California independent contractor truck drivers were properly classified as independent contractors at all times. Nevertheless, because lawsuits are expensive, time-consuming and could interrupt our business operations, we decided to make settlement offers to individual drivers with respect to the claims alleged in these lawsuits, without admitting liability. As of February 11, 2015, 92% of the drivers have accepted the settlement offers. Though counsel for Mr. Robles has threatened to challenge the enforceability of these settlements, we believe they are valid and enforceable. In the third quarter of 2014, driver settlements and related costs include $9.3 million in settlements for individual drivers and $1.0 million of related legal, communication and implementation costs. | |
On September 12, 2014, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) by Christian Lubinski against Hub Group Trucking. The action seeks class certification on behalf of a class comprised of present and former owner-operators providing delivery services in Illinois for Hub Group Trucking. The complaint alleges Hub Group Trucking has misclassified such drivers as independent contractors and that such drivers are employees. The complaint alleges that Hub Group Trucking has made illegal deductions from the drivers’ pay and has failed to properly compensate the drivers for all hours worked, reimburse business expenses, pay employment taxes, and provide workers’ compensation and other employment benefits. The complaint asserts various violations of the Illinois Wage Payment and Collections Act and claims that Hub Group Trucking has been unjustly enriched. The complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages for the relevant statutory period and attorneys’ fees. On October 24, 2014, the Lubinski case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (Western Division), in Memphis. | |
We cannot reasonably estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may arise from the remaining unresolved claims in the Robles, Barillas and Lubinski lawsuits. |

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2014 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business | Business: Hub Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) provides intermodal transportation services utilizing primarily third party arrangements with railroads. Drayage can be provided by our subsidiary, Hub Group Trucking, Inc., or a third party company. We also arrange for transportation of freight by truck and perform logistics services. Transportation services are provided through our legacy business and our acquisition, Mode Transportation, LLC. We report two distinct business segments. The first segment is Mode, which includes the Mode business we acquired on April 1, 2011. The other segment is Hub, which is all business other than Mode. “Hub Group” includes both segments. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all entities in which we have more than a 50% equity ownership or otherwise exercise unilateral control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: We consider as cash equivalents all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our cash and temporary investments were with high quality financial institutions in DDAs (Demand Deposit Accounts). |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts: In the normal course of business, we extend credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. An allowance for uncollectible trade accounts has been established through an analysis of the accounts receivable aging, an assessment of collectability based on historical trends and an evaluation based on current economic conditions. To be more specific, we reserve a portion of every account balance that has aged over one year, a portion of receivables for customers in bankruptcy and certain account balances specifically identified as uncollectible. On an annual basis, we perform a hindsight analysis on Hub and Mode separately to determine each segment’s experience in collecting account balances over one year old and account balances in bankruptcy. We then use this hindsight analysis to establish our reserves for receivables over one year and in bankruptcy. In establishing a reserve for certain account balances specifically identified as uncollectible, we consider the aging of the customer receivables, the specific details as to why the receivable has not been paid, the customer’s current and projected financial results, the customer’s ability to meet and sustain their financial commitments, the positive or negative effects of the current and projected industry outlook and the general economic conditions. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is reported on the balance sheet in net accounts receivable. Our reserve for uncollectible accounts was approximately $7.0 million and $7.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when received. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method at rates adequate to depreciate the cost of the applicable assets over their expected useful lives: building and improvements, up to 40 years; leasehold improvements, the shorter of useful life or lease term; computer equipment and software, up to 5 years; furniture and equipment, up to 10 years; and transportation equipment up to 15 years. Direct costs related to internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized over their expected useful life on a straight-line basis not to exceed 5 years. Interest is capitalized on qualifying assets under development for internal use. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts with any gain or loss realized upon sale or disposal charged or credited to operations. We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset group is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the assets carrying amount over its fair value, less cost to dispose, is recorded. |
Goodwill and Other Intangibles | Goodwill and Other Intangibles: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired in connection with our business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests. |
We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of this asset might exceed the current fair value. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. We assess qualitative factors such as current company performance and overall economic factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the quantitative goodwill test, a company compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed, which compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value, to determine the amount of impairment. In 2014 and 2013, we performed the qualitative assessment on both the Hub and Mode reporting units. No impairment charge was recognized based on the results of the goodwill impairment tests. | |
On January 1, 2013, we adopted the FASB’s new accounting guidance regarding indefinite-lived intangibles which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative test discussed above. As a result of our impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, which is included in the Impairment of Trade Name line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for information on this impairment charge. | |
We evaluate the potential impairment of finite-lived acquired intangible assets when impairment indicators exist. If the carrying value is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. | |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk: Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We place our cash and temporary investments with high quality financial institutions in DDAs (Demand Deposit Accounts). We primarily serve customers located throughout the United States with no significant concentration in any one region. No one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2014, 2013 or 2012. We review a customer’s credit history before extending credit. In addition, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, as a consequence, believe that our trade accounts receivable risk is limited. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized at the time 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) services have been rendered, 3) the sales price is fixed and determinable and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue and related transportation costs are recognized based on relative transit time. Further, in most cases, we report our revenue on a gross basis because we are the primary obligor as we are responsible for providing the service desired by the customer. Our customers view us as responsible for fulfillment including the acceptability of the service. Services requirements may include, for example, on-time delivery, handling freight loss and damage claims, setting up appointments for pick up and delivery and tracing shipments in transit. We have discretion in setting sales prices and as a result, the amount we earn varies. In addition, we have the discretion to select our vendors from multiple suppliers for the services ordered by our customers. Finally, we have credit risk for our receivables. These three factors, discretion in setting prices, discretion in selecting vendors and credit risk, further support reporting revenue on a gross basis for most of our revenue. |
Provision for Income Taxes | Provision for Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. We believe that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized based on future taxable income projections with the exception of $0.1 million related to state tax net operating losses for which a valuation allowance has been established. In the event the probability of realizing the remaining deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold in the future, a valuation allowance would be established for the deferred tax assets deemed unrecoverable. |
Tax liabilities are recorded when, in management’s judgment, a tax position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition as prescribed by the guidance. For tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold, a tax liability may be recorded depending on management’s assessment of how the tax position will ultimately be settled. We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax liabilities in our provision for income taxes. | |
Earnings Per Common Share | |
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share are based on the average quarterly weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are adjusted for the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and for restricted stock which are both computed using the treasury stock method. | |
Stock Based Compensation | Stock Based Compensation: Share-based compensation includes the restricted stock awards expected to vest based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense is amortized straight-line over the vesting period including an estimate of forfeitures and is included in salaries and benefits. We present excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of share-based compensation as financing cash in-flows and as operating cash out-flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
New Pronouncements | |
New Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Standard provides guidance on how to recognize 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. For public organizations, the guidance in the update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The update provides two transition methods to the new guidance: a retrospective approach and a modified retrospective approach. Early application is not permitted. We plan to adopt this standard January 1, 2017, as required. We are currently evaluating the transition method and effect this update will have on our consolidated financial statements. | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Topic 360 – Property, Plant and Equipment and Topic 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in the update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 25-20. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period and is to be applied prospectively. We adopted this standard January 1, 2015, as required. We do not expect this new guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue, the cost of transportation, commission expense and useful lives of equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications: Certain prior year immaterial amounts have been reclassified in the segment footnote to conform with the current year presentation. |
