Segment Information [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company provides multiple transportation services across the United States (U.S.) and parts of Canada. The Company offers primarily asset-based transportation services in the dry van market and also offers temperature-controlled transportation services and non-asset based brokerage services. None of the Company's transportation services individually meet the definition of a segment. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker oversees and manages all of our transportation services, on a combined basis, including the legacy transportation services of Gordon Trucking, Inc. ("GTI"), which was acquired on November 11, 2013. As a result of the foregoing, the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, consistent with the authoritative accounting guidance on disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information.
