Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale [Abstract] |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale On April 23, 2020, the Board approved a strategy to divest Pool within the next year. Accordingly, Pool has been classified as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2020 and for all prior periods presented. Pool assets and liabilities are reflected as “Assets and liabilities held for sale” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in this report. In addition, the results of operations for Pool have been presented in this report as discontinued operations. Upon meeting the assets held for sale criteria and during its annual goodwill impairment analysis, the Company evaluated whether Pool's estimated fair value, less costs to sell, exceeded the carrying value of its assets and liabilities. As a result of that assessment, we determined that the fair value of Pool exceeded its carrying value by approximately 5%. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, no indicators of goodwill impairment were identified, and the Company believes the fair value of Pool exceeds its carrying value. The results of Pool were previously included in its own segment. The Company will continue to have two reporting segments: Expedited Freight and Intermodal, which is consistent with the way the CODM reviews operating results and makes resource decisions (See Note 14, Segment Reporting). Certain corporate overhead and other costs previously allocated to Pool for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. These costs have been reclassified to the eliminations and other column in the segment reconciliation that appears in Note 14, Segment Reporting.
