FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurement — Definition and Hierarchy

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, where there is little, if any, observable market activity or data for the asset or liability.

In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to our Level 1 assets and liabilities. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. This pricing methodology would apply to Level 2 assets and liabilities.

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

		Fair Value
	Level in Fair	December 31,
	Value Hierarchy	2021		2020
Other non-current assets:
Equity securities (1)	1	$	17,166	N/A

(1) Represents our investments in autonomous technology companies. For additional information regarding the valuation of these equity securities, see Note 7 – Investments.

We have no material liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Our ownership interest in Mastery Logistics Systems, Inc. (“MLSI”) does not have a readily determinable fair value and is accounted for using the measurement alternative in ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. For additional information regarding the valuation of our investment in MLSI, see Note 7 – Investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

Cash, accounts receivable trade, and accounts payable are short-term in nature and accordingly are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. These financial instruments are recorded at or near their respective transaction prices and historically have been settled or converted to cash at approximately that value (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

The carrying amounts of our long-term debt approximate fair value due to the duration of our credit arrangements and the variable interest rates (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
