We provide financing to some individuals who want to become independent contractors by purchasing a tractor from us and leasing their services to us. At December 31, 2015, we had 682 notes receivable from these independent contractors and at December 31, 2014, we had 472 such notes receivable. We maintain a primary security interest in the tractor until the independent contractor pays the note balance in full.
