SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA INFORMATION:

Segment Information

The Company presents the financial results of its 11 operating regions as three distinct operating segments: North American Operations, Australian Operations and U.K./European Operations (as more fully described in Note 1, Business and Customers). Each of our segments generates the following three categories of revenues from external customers: freight revenues, freight-related revenues and all other revenues (as more fully described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies). The Company's nine North American regions are aggregated into one segment as a result of having similar economic and operating characteristics.

The following tables set forth results from the Company's North American Operations segment, Australian Operations segment and U.K./European Operations segment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):
