Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Line of Credit and Long Term Debt | Long-Term Debt In November 2013, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (the “Bank”), Heartland Express, Inc. of Iowa as the borrower (the “Borrower”), us, GTI, and the other members of our consolidated group, as Guarantors. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank provided a five-year, $250.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit, which was used to finance the Transaction, including the payoff of debt assumed as part of the Transaction. We may also use the line of credit in the future for working capital, equipment financing, and general corporate purposes. The Bank's commitment decreased to $225.0 million on November 1, 2014, and will decrease to $200.0 million on November 1, 2015, and to $175.0 million on November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2018. The Credit Agreement is unsecured, with a negative pledge against all assets of our consolidated group, except for debt associated with permitted acquisitions, new purchase-money debt and capital lease obligations as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on October 31, 2018. The Borrower has the ability to terminate the commitment at any time at no additional cost to the Borrower. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement can either be, at Borrower's election, (i) one-month or three-month LIBOR (Index) plus 0.625%, floating, or (ii) Prime (Index) plus 0.0%, floating. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving line of credit at 0.625%, due quarterly. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants including, but not limited to, (i) a maximum adjusted leverage ratio of 2:1, measured quarterly, (ii) a minimum net income requirement of $1.00, measured quarterly, (iii) a minimum tangible net worth of $200 million requirement, measured quarterly, and (iv) limitations on other indebtedness and liens. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, conditions, representations and warranties, and indemnification provisions. We were in compliance with the financial covenants at December 31, 2014. Long term debt consisted of the following at December 31 (in thousands):
|  | December 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
Long-term debt |  | $ | 24,600 |  |  | $ | 75,000 |
The weighted average variable annual percentage rate (“APR”) for amounts borrowed and outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was 0.787% and 0.793%, respectively. Borrowing under the line of credit is recorded in “Long-term debt” in the consolidated balance sheets. Outstanding letters of credit associated with the revolving line of credit at December 31, 2014 were $4.4 million compared to $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the line of credit available for future borrowing was $196.0 million compared to $169.5 million at December 31, 2013.
