Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

2.    Revenue Recognition

Revenue and associated direct operating expenses are recognized on the date freight is picked up from the shipper.  One of the preferable methods outlined in US GAAP provides for the recognition of revenue and direct costs when the shipment is completed.  Changing to this method would not have a material impact on the interim financial statements.

The Company is the sole obligor with respect to the performance of our freight services provided by owner operators or through our brokerage and logistics services business and we assume all related credit risk. Accordingly, our revenue and the related direct expenses are recognized on a gross basis on the date the freight is picked up from the shipper.  Revenue from equipment rental is recognized ratably over the term of the associated rental agreements.
