Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | 7. FLOOR PLAN NOTES PAYABLE AND LINES OF CREDIT : Floor Plan Notes Payable Floor plan notes are financing agreements to facilitate the Company’s purchase of new and used commercial vehicle inventory. These notes are collateralized by the inventory purchased and accounts receivable arising from the sale thereof. The Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement provides for a loan commitment of up to $875.0 million and has the interest rate benchmarked to LIBOR, as defined in the agreement. The interest rate under the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement is the three month LIBOR rate plus 1.51%. The interest rate applicable to the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement was approximately 2.44% at December 31, 2016. The Company utilizes its excess cash on hand to pay down its outstanding borrowings under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement, and the resulting interest earned is recognized as an offset to the Company’s gross interest expense under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a monthly working capital fee equal to 0.16% per annum multiplied by the amount of voluntary prepayments of new and used inventory loans. The Company finances substantially all of the purchase price of its new commercial vehicle inventory, and the loan value of its used commercial vehicle inventory, under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement, under which BMO Harris pays the manufacturer directly with respect to new commercial vehicles. Amounts borrowed under the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement are due when the related commercial vehicle inventory (collateral) is sold and the sales proceeds are collected by the Company. The Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement expires June 30, 2019, although BMO Harris has the right to terminate the Floor Plan Credit Agreement at any time upon 120 days’ written notice. The Company may terminate the Floor Plan Credit Agreement at any time, although if it does so, it must pay a prepayment processing fee equal to: (i) 2.0% of the aggregate revolving loan commitments if such termination occurs on or before January 1, 2018; (ii) 1.0% of the aggregate revolving loan commitments if such termination occurs after January 1, 2018 and on or prior to July 1, 2018; and (iii) $500,000 if such termination occurs after July 1, 2018 and prior to June 30, 2019, subject to specified limited exceptions. On December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $548.1 million outstanding under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement. In June 2012, the Company entered into a wholesale financing agreement with Ford Motor Credit Company that provides for the financing of, and is collateralized by, the Company’s new Ford vehicle inventory. This wholesale financing agreement bears interest at a rate of Prime plus 150 basis points minus certain incentives and rebates; however, the prime rate is defined to be a minimum of 3.75%. As of December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the wholesale financing agreement was 5.25% before considering the applicable incentives. On December 31, 2016, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $66.4 million under the Ford Motor Credit Company wholesale financing agreement. The Company’s weighted average interest rate for floor plan notes payable was 1.58% for the year ended December 31, 2016, and 1.47% for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is net of interest related to prepayments of new and used inventory loans. Assets pledged as collateral were as follows (in thousands):

Lines of Credit The Company has a secured line of credit that provides for a maximum borrowing of $17.5 million. There were no advances outstanding under this secured line of credit at December 31, 2016; however, $12.0 million was pledged to secure various letters of credit related to self-insurance products, leaving $5.5 million available for future borrowings as of December 31, 2016.
