Note 11. | Equity Method Investment
We own a 49.0% interest in Transport Enterprise Leasing, LLC ("TEL"), a tractor and trailer equipment leasing company and used equipment reseller. There is no loss limitation on our 49.0% interest in TEL. We have not guaranteed any of TEL's debt and have no obligation to provide funding, services, or assets. There are no current put rights to purchase or sell with any owners. TEL’s majority owners are generally restricted from transferring their interests in TEL, other than to certain permitted transferees, without our consent. There are no third-party liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and/or other commitments that may affect the fair value or risk of our interest in TEL. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we sold revenue equipment to TEL in exchange for the assumption of the related notes payable of $26.2 million and $0.5 million of cash. No other transactions with TEL were material for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. We have accounted for our investment in TEL using the equity method of accounting, and thus our financial results include our proportionate share of TEL's 2024 net income through March 31, 2024, or $3.7 million. Our accounts receivable from TEL, accounts payable to TEL, and investment in TEL as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):
