The increase in transportation equipment to $787.2 million in 2018 from $621.0 million in 2017 was due primarily to the purchase of containers, tractors and trailers.

The increase in computer software and hardware to $118.7 million in 2018 from $103.8 million in 2017 was related to our transportation management systems.

Included in the transportation equipment is a capital lease obligation entered into for $26.4 million in 2011. The balances as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, net of accumulated amortization, were $7.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment was $77.3 million, $57.8 million and $43.0 million for 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which includes amortization expense associated with the capital lease of $2.2 million for both 2018 and 2017 and $2.3 million for 2016. The capital lease amortization expense and transportation equipment depreciation is included in transportation costs.
