Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to ordinary, routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential exposure under pending legal proceedings is adequately provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has entered into commitments to further upgrade the Company's existing tractor and trailer fleets. Delivery of tractor equipment began in the third quarter of 2010 and is currently scheduled to continue into the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition, the Company has purchase commitments outstanding for deliveries of trailer equipment for the remainder of 2011. The total estimated net purchase commitments, net of estimated trade values on tractors, at June 30, 2011 is currently estimated at $54.1 million. Although the Company expects to sell trailers during 2011 to provide additional sources of cash flows for new trailers, that would directly offset the outstanding commitment amount, there were no guaranteed commitments from third parties as of June 30, 2011 to buy trailers during 2011. |
