A portion of our operating leases of tractors and trailers contain residual value guarantees under which we guarantee a certain minimum cash value payment to the leasing company at the expiration of the lease. We estimate that the undiscounted value of th
e residual guarantees is approximately
$4.0
million at
December 31, 2017
and
2016,
respectively. The residual guarantees at
December 31, 2017
expire between
August 2018
and
February 2019.
We expect our residual guarantees to approximate the market value at the end of the lease term. Additionally, certain leases contain cross-default provisions with other financing agreements and additional charges if the unit's mileage exceeds certain thresholds defined in the lease agreement.
