Segment Information
 
We have
two
reportable segments, Truckload, which is comprised of our truckload services, and Managed Freight, which provides freight brokerage and logistics services.
 
The Truckload segment consists of
four
service offerings that are aggregated because they have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria.  The
four
service offerings that comprise our Truckload segment are as follows: (i) Expedited, provided primarily by Covenant Transport, our historical flagship operation; (ii) Dedicated, provided by all of our operating fleets; (iii) Refrigerated, provided primarily through our Southern Refrigerated Transport, Inc. ("SRT") subsidiary; and (iv) over-the-road ("OTR"), provided primarily by our Landair Transport, Inc. subsidiary.
 
In addition, our Managed Freight segment has service offerings ancillary to our Truckload services, including: freight brokerage, transportation management services ("TMS"), and shuttle and switching services. These service offerings are aggregated due to similar margins and customers. Also included within Managed Freight are our warehousing and accounts receivable factoring businesses, neither of which meets the quantitative or qualitative reporting thresholds individually or in the aggregate.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our 
2018
Annual Report on Form
10
-K. Substantially all intersegment sales prices are market based. We evaluate performance based on operating income of the respective business units.
 
The following table summarizes our revenue by our
two
reportable segments, Truckload and Managed Freight, disaggregated to the operating fleet level as used by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding allocation of resources and assets, organized
first
by reportable segment (i.e. Truckload and Managed Freight) and then by operating fleet for the
