Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING
SEGMENT REPORTING
We operate in two business segments: Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing, contract maintenance, contract-related maintenance and commercial rental of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; and Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain consulting including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. The SCS segment also provides dedicated contract carriage (DCC) services, which includes vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S. Prior to 2012, DCC was reported as a separate business segment. In 2012, SCS and DCC were combined as a result of aligning our internal reporting with how we operate our business. While this change did not impact our consolidated results, segment data for prior periods have been recast to be consistent with the current year presentation.
 
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as “Earnings Before Tax” (EBT) from continuing operations, includes an allocation of CSS and excludes non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges, net described in Note 5, “Restructuring and Other Charges” and excludes the items discussed in Note 26, “Other Items Impacting Comparability.” CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal and corporate communications. Beginning in 2012, we adjusted our segment financial performance measurement to exclude the non-operating components of pension costs in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the business segments. Prior year segment EBT has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment and each operating segment within each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS and SCS as follows:

Finance, corporate services, and health and safety — allocated based upon estimated and planned resource utilization;

Human resources — individual costs within this category are allocated in several ways, including allocation based on
estimated utilization and number of personnel supported;

Information technology — principally allocated based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or
minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible
for the project; and

Other — represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based incentive
compensation costs. Expenses, where allocated, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported.
Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS segment. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to customers (equipment contribution) is included in both FMS and SCS and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations”).
 
Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Each business segment follows the same accounting policies as described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Business segment revenue and EBT from continuing operations is as follows:

____________ 
(1)
Depreciation expense associated with CSS assets was allocated to business segments based upon estimated and planned asset utilization. Depreciation expense totaling $12 million, $9 million, and $9 million during 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, associated with CSS assets was allocated to other business segments.
(2)
Includes amortization expense.
(3)
Interest expense was primarily allocated to the FMS segment since such borrowings were used principally to fund the purchase of revenue earning equipment used in FMS; however, interest expense (income) was also reflected in SCS based on targeted segment leverage ratios.
(4)
Excludes acquisition payments of $5 million, $362 million, and $212 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively, comprised primarily of long-lived assets. See Note 3, “Acquisitions,” for additional information.

Certain Concentrations
We have a diversified portfolio of customers across a full array of transportation and logistics solutions and across many industries. We believe this will help to mitigate the impact of adverse downturns in specific sectors of the economy. Our portfolio of full service lease and commercial rental customers is not concentrated in any one particular industry or geographic region. We derive a significant portion of our SCS revenue from the automotive industry, mostly from manufacturers and suppliers of original equipment parts. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the automotive industry accounted for approximately 30%, 27% and 31%, respectively, of SCS total revenue.
