Segment Information [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company provides multiple transportation services across the United States (U.S.) and parts of Canada through a nationwide network of regional operating divisions. The operating divisions are operated out of our regional office locations throughout the U.S. The Company offers asset-based transportation services in the dry van and temperature-controlled transportation markets as well as non-asset based brokerage services. Each of the divisions is managed based on similar economic characteristics. Each division provides services to a similar class of customers and is exposed to similar competitive and financial risk factors. As a result of the foregoing, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to aggregate its operating divisions into one reportable segment, consistent with the authoritative accounting guidance on disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information. Accordingly, the Company has not presented separate segment financial information.
