Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Person Transactions | Note 6. Related Person Transactions Family Relationships Each of Earl E. Congdon, David S. Congdon and John R. Congdon, Jr. are related to one another and served in various management positions and/or on our Board of Directors during 2013. We have employment agreements with Earl E. Congdon and David S. Congdon, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We regularly disclose the amount of compensation that we pay to these individuals, as well as any of their family members employed by us and whose compensation from time to time may require disclosure, in the proxy statement for our Annual Meeting of Shareholders. During 2012, John R. Congdon, who was the brother of Earl E. Congdon, resigned from his position as Senior Vice President. At that time, the Board of Directors and John R. Congdon mutually agreed to terminate his amended and restated employment agreement. He continued to be employed by the Company in a management position and as a member of our Board of Directors until his death in October 2013. Transactions with Old Dominion Truck Leasing, Inc. Old Dominion Truck Leasing, Inc. (“Leasing”) is a North Carolina corporation whose voting stock is beneficially owned by members of the Congdon family. Leasing is primarily engaged in the business of leasing tractors, trailers and other vehicles as well as providing contract dedicated fleet services. John R. Congdon served as Chairman of the Board of Leasing until October 2013 and was succeeded in that position by John R. Congdon, Jr. Earl E. Congdon and David S. Congdon currently serve as members of Leasing’s Board of Directors. Since 1986, we have combined our requirements with Leasing for the purchase of tractors, trailers, equipment, parts, tires and fuel. We believe that the termination of this arrangement would not have a material adverse impact on our financial results. We purchased $299,000, $239,000 and $278,000 of maintenance and other services from Leasing in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We intend to continue to purchase maintenance and other services from Leasing, provided that Leasing’s prices continue to be favorable to us. We charged Leasing $18,000, $18,000 and $18,000 for the rental of property in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No other services were provided to Leasing for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Split-Dollar Life Insurance Policies We owned two split-dollar life insurance contracts insuring the life of John R. Congdon that were terminated upon Mr. Congdon's death in October 2013. The death benefits under these policies totaled an aggregate of $9.3 million, of which we received $7.3 million in December 2013 and Mr. Congdon’s beneficiaries received $2.0 million. At December 31, 2012, the net cash surrender value for these policies totaled $6.8 million and was included on our Balance Sheet under the caption “Other Assets.”
