(13)	Gain Contingency

The Company does not allow for the recognition of a gain contingency within its consolidated financial statements prior to the settlement of the underlying events or contingencies associated with the gain contingency. As a result, the consideration related to a gain contingency is recorded in the consolidated financial statements during the period in which all underlying events or contingencies are resolved and the gain is realized.

Within the Company’s third party insurance arrangements providing excess coverage for commercial trucking liabilities, structured arrangements with third party reinsurers within a specific loss layer may include provisions that provide for a refund of premium in the event of favorable loss experience. During the 2025 thirty-nine-week period, with respect to one such three-year commercial auto liability reinsurance arrangement relating to certain excess claims incurred between May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2023, the Company received $

12,000,000

of cash payments from third party reinsurance providers in the form of a “no claims bonus” due to favorable loss experience with respect to claims incurred during the applicable policy period. The Company recorded this payment as a deferred gain within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2025, until such time as all underlying claims with exposure under the applicable excess layer insurance arrangement are resolved and the gain can be recognized. Based on the Verdict, the Cabral Matter referenced above in footnote 11 is not anticipated to adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet the requirements of such “no claims bonus”. No assurances can be provided, however, regarding whether the Company will ultimately be able to recognize a gain with respect to the “no claims bonus.”
