Named Executive Officers, Footnote [Text Block] | (3) The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Gantt) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the named executive officers (excluding Mr. Gantt) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2022 and 2021, Mr. David S. Congdon and Messrs. Satterfield, Freeman and Plemmons; (ii) for 2020, Mr. Earl E. Congdon, Mr. David S. Congdon and Messrs. Satterfield and Freeman. |  |
Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block] | (6) Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose was the Dow Jones Transportation Average for 2022 and 2021, and the Nasdaq Industrial Transportation Index for 2020. Beginning in 2021, the Dow Jones Transportation Average was selected as a peer group as we believe the companies included in the Dow Jones Transportation Average are better aligned with our business. |  |

Tabular List [Table Text Block] | Financial Performance Measures As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our named executive officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
Most Important Financial Performance Measures
Pre-Tax Income
Annual Pre-Tax Income Growth
Operating Ratio
Total Shareholder Return Amount | $ 227 | 285 | 155
Peer Group Total Shareholder Return Amount | 128 | 155 | 131
Net Income (Loss) | $ 1,377,159,000 | $ 1,034,375,000 | $ 672,682,000

Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] | (4) The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Gantt), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v). The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Gantt) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v), the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the named executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Gantt) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described in footnote 2 above: |  |
