Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | 7 – Segment Information The Company currently has one reportable business segment, the Truck Segment. The Truck Segment operates a network of commercial vehicle dealerships that provide an integrated one-stop source for the commercial vehicle needs of its customers, including retail sales of new and used commercial vehicles; aftermarket parts, service and body shop facilities; and a wide array of financial services, including the financing of new and used commercial vehicle purchases, insurance products and truck leasing and rentals. The commercial vehicle dealerships are deemed a single reporting unit because they have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s chief operating decision maker considers the entire Truck Segment, not individual dealerships, when making decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on income before income taxes not including extraordinary items. The following table contains summarized information about reportable segment revenue, segment income or loss and segment assets for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
