NOTE 9. Business Segments

Due to the acquisition of Mode as discussed in Note 8, we now report two distinct business segments. The first segment is Mode, which includes Mode business only. The second segment is Hub, which is all business other than Mode.

Hub offers comprehensive intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services. Our employees operate the freight through a network of operating centers located in the United States and Mexico. Each operating center is strategically located in a market with a significant concentration of shipping customers and one or more railheads. Hub has full time employees located throughout the United States and Mexico.

Mode markets and operates its freight transportation services, consisting of intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics, primarily through IBOs who enter into contractual arrangements with Mode.

The following is a summary of operating results and certain other financial data for our business segments (in thousands):
