Commitments and Contingencies

(16)	Commitments and Contingencies

Our principal commitments relate to long-term real estate leases and payment obligations to equipment vendors.

On March 17, 2021, the Company received a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board (the “NLRB”) based on charges alleged by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters against four of the Company’s operating subsidiaries. The charges stem from the Company’s decision to close underperforming operations in California in December 2019. In April 2021, the Company answered the complaint by denying it engaged in any unfair labor practices and maintaining that the Company closed the underperforming California terminal due to financial reasons. In October 2021, the Company received an adverse ruling requiring the Company to, among other things, reinstate the terminated drivers and compensate them for back pay. The Company is appealing the decision. The calculation of the amount owed to the drivers will take into consideration any offsetting earnings made by terminated individuals since their separation from the Company. The Company currently estimates the possible range of financial exposure in the matter to be between $4.3 million and $7.2 million. Based on the Company’s best estimate of the liability at this time, the Company has recorded an accrued liability for this matter of $5.8 million. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with any certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is involved in certain other claims and pending litigation arising from the ordinary conduct of business. We also provide accruals for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. Based on the knowledge of the facts, and in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, in the Company’s opinion the resolution of these claims and pending litigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we experience claims that are not covered by our insurance or that exceed our estimated claim reserve, it could increase the volatility of our earnings and have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

At December 31, 2021, approximately 37% of our employees in the United States, Canada and Colombia are subject to collective bargaining agreements that are renegotiated periodically, of which 10% are subject to contracts that expire in 2022. Of our employees in Mexico, 91% are subject to such collective bargaining agreements, and our contract expiring in 2022 is currently being negotiated.

At December 31, 2021, our firm commitments to purchase equipment totaled $26.3 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $30.0 million for settlements of previously disclosed legal matters.

On February 10, 2022, our Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.105 per share of common stock, payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 7, 2022 and is expected to be paid on April 4, 2022. Declaration of future cash dividends is subject to final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, any legal or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

(19)	Subsequent Event —continued

On January 28, 2022, the Company was served with charges from the NLRB based on allegations of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters against the Company and four of its subsidiaries. The charges allege, among other things, that certain of the Company’s independent contractors in California should be classified as employees, rather than independent contractors. The Company anticipates answering the charges denying all charges and plans to defend the use of independent contractors in conducting its business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with any certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

(17)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding outstanding non-vested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per common share include dilutive common stock equivalents determined by the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there were 10,845, 2,990 and 910 weighted average non-vested shares of restricted stock, respectively, included in the denominator for the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 65,000, 65,000 and 44,500 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such shares were anti-dilutive.

Leases

ASU 2016-02, Leases, requires us to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on our balance sheet for most leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments resulting from the lease agreement. We recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the effective date of a lease agreement.

As of December 31, 2021, our obligations under operating lease arrangements primarily related to the rental of office space, warehouses, freight distribution centers, terminal yards and equipment. Our lease obligations typically do not include options to purchase the leased property, nor do they contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Options to extend or terminate an agreement are included in the lease term when it becomes reasonably certain the option will be exercised. As of December 31, 2021, we were not reasonably certain of exercising any renewal or termination options, and as such, no adjustments were made to the right-of-use lease assets or corresponding liabilities.

We did not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts for purposes of determining the right-of use lease asset and corresponding liability. Variable lease components that do not depend on an index or a rate, and variable non-lease components were also not contemplated in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and corresponding liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay the lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. For equipment leases, variable lease costs may include additional fees associated with using equipment in excess of estimated amounts. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, short-term leases, are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for short-term and long-term operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company is also party to two interest rate swap agreements that qualify for hedge accounting. The Company executed the swap agreements to fix a portion of the interest rates on its variable rate debt that have a combined notional amount of $10.8 million at December 31, 2021. Under the swap agreements, the Company receives interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% and pays a fixed rate. The first swap became effective in October 2016, has a rate of 4.16% (amortizing notional amount of $10.0 million) and expires in July 2026. The second swap became effective in October 2016, has a rate of 3.83% (amortizing notional amount of $0.8 million) and expires in May 2022. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the fair value of the swap agreements was a liability of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]

Stock Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Stock Based Compensation

(15)	Stock Based Compensation

On April 23, 2014, our Board of Directors adopted our 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. The Plan was approved at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders and became effective as of the date our Board adopted it. The 2014 Plan replaced our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan and carried forward the shares of common stock that remained available for issuance under the 2004 Plan. The grants under the Plan may be made in the form of options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock purchase rights, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock units, restricted stock units or shares of unrestricted common stock.

On September 9, 2021, the Company granted 2,355 shares of restricted stock to an employee of the Company. The restricted stock award has a fair value of $20.46 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The shares will vest in five equal increments on each August 9 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, subject to continued employment with the Company.

On February 5, 2020, the Company granted 5,000 shares of restricted stock to our Chief Financial Officer. The restricted stock award has a fair value of $17.74 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The shares will vest on February 20, 2024, subject to his continued employment with the Company.

On January 10, 2020, the Company granted 60,000 shares of restricted stock to our Chief Executive Officer. The restricted stock award has a fair value of $18.82 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The shares will vest in installments of 20,000 shares on January 10, 2024 and January 10, 2026, and installments of 10,000 shares on January 10, 2027 and January 10, 2028, subject to his continued employment with the Company.

On February 20, 2019, the Company granted 44,500 shares of restricted stock to certain of its employees, including 10,000 shares to our Chief Financial Officer. The restricted stock awards have a grant date fair value of $23.56 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock, and any non-vested shares under the awards will vest in four equal increments on each February 20 in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

(15)	Stock Based Compensation—continued

The vesting of restricted stock awards to a grantee may be accelerated under certain conditions, including retirement.

A summary of the status of our non-vested shares as of December 31, 2021, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2021, is presented below:

	Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2021		85,625		$	19.90
Granted		2,355		$	20.46
Vested		(6,875	)	$	23.56
Forfeited		—		$	—
Balance at December 31, 2021		81,105		$	19.60

The total grant date fair value of vested shares recognized as compensation cost was $0.2 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2021, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. As a result, the Company expects to recognize stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million in each year of 2022 and 2023, $0.4 million in 2024 and 2026, and $0.2 million in each 2027 and 2028.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Acquisitions

(4)	Acquisitions

On November 5, 2019, the Company acquired Roadrunner Intermodal from Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. Roadrunner Intermodal is a nationwide drayage provider, servicing major port and rail locations throughout the United States. The total cash purchase price was $54.7 million. The Company used available cash and borrowings on its revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition. Approximately $0.3 million of transaction related costs were incurred in the acquisition.

On April 22, 2019, the Company acquired Michael’s. Headquartered in Bridgeview, Illinois, Michael’s provides intermodal drayage services to customers primarily within a 300-mile radius of the Chicagoland area. The total cash purchase price was $21.6 million. The Company used available cash and borrowings on its revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition. Approximately $0.4 million of transaction related costs were incurred in the acquisition.

The Company accounted for the acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair value at acquisition, with the remaining unallocated purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recorded is included in our intermodal segment and is non-deductible for income tax purposes. For each acquisition, the purchase price was allocated to major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price in each transaction is as follows (in thousands):

	Michael's			Roadrunner Intermodal
Current assets	$	4,474		$	16,002
Property and equipment		2,831			23,064
Goodwill		6,383			12,417
Intangible assets		9,000			14,000
Other assets		-			3,599
Current liabilities		(1,068	)		(8,936	)
Long-term liabilities		-			(2,439	)
Deferred tax liabilities, net		-			(3,039	)
	$	21,620		$	54,668

The intangible assets represent the acquired company’s customer relationships and non-competition agreements. The acquired customer relationships are being amortized over a period of 11 years and the non-competition agreements are being amortized over a period of five years. The Company used the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of these acquired intangible assets.

We believe that each acquisition strategically enhances our service offerings in specific geographic regions, and we expect each of them to further diversify our customer base.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations present consolidated information of the Company as if the 2019 Acquisitions were acquired on January 1, 2019 (in thousands, except per share data):

	Pro Forma Twelve Month Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

(18)	Segment Reporting

In December 2020, we changed the way we aggregate our business units and adopted a new segment reporting structure. As part of the new structure, we separated our previous transportation segment into three reportable segments: trucking, intermodal, and company-managed brokerage. In addition, we changed the name of our previous logistics segment to contract logistics. As a result, we now report our financial results in four distinct reportable segments: contract logistics, intermodal, trucking, and company-managed brokerage, which are based primarily on the services each segment provides. This presentation reflects the manner in which management evaluates our operating segments, including an evaluation of economic characteristics and applicable aggregation criteria.

Operations aggregated in our contract logistics segment deliver value-added and/or dedicated transportation services to support in-bound logistics to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and major retailers on a contractual basis, generally pursuant to terms of one year or longer. Our intermodal segment is associated with local and regional drayage moves predominately coordinated by company-managed terminals using a mix of owner-operators, company equipment and third-party capacity providers (broker carriers). Operations aggregated in our trucking segment are associated with individual freight shipments coordinated by our agents and company-managed terminals using a mix of owner-operators, company equipment and broker carriers. Our company-managed brokerage segment provides for the pick-up and delivery of individual freight shipments using broker carriers, coordinated by our company-managed operations. Other non-reportable segments are comprised of the Company’s subsidiaries that provide support services to other subsidiaries.

Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and we do not provide asset information by segment to the chief operating decision maker.

The following tables summarize information about our reportable segments for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(2)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU was issued to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has evaluated the provisions of this standard and determined that it is applicable to our primary term loan and revolving credit facility, real estate promissory notes and investment margin credit facility. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is the basis for interest charges on outstanding borrowings for both our line of credit and investment margin account. The scheduled discontinuation of LIBOR is not expected to materially alter any provisions of either of these debt instruments, except for the identification of a replacement reference rate. The Company has evaluated the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Accounting for Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires the use of an “expected loss” model on certain types of financial instruments. The standard also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires estimated credit losses to be recorded as allowances instead of reductions to amortized cost of the securities. The new standard will become effective for us beginning with the first quarter 2023. The Company is evaluating the new guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The entire disclosure for change in accounting principle. Includes, but is not limited to, nature, reason, and method of adopting amendment to accounting standards or other change in accounting principle.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

(3)	Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company broadly groups its services into the following categories: truckload services, brokerage services, intermodal services, dedicated services and value-added services. We disaggregate these categories and report our service lines separately on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Truckload services include dry van, flatbed, heavy-haul and refrigerated operations. We transport a wide variety of general commodities, including automotive parts, machinery, building materials, paper, food, consumer goods, furniture, steel and other metals on behalf of customers in various industries. Truckload services also include our final mile and ground expedited services.

To complement our available capacity, we provide customers freight brokerage services by utilizing third-party transportation providers to move freight. Brokerage services also include full-service domestic and international freight forwarding and customs brokerage.

Intermodal services include rail-truck, steamship-truck and support services. Our intermodal support services are primarily short- to medium-distance delivery of rail and steamship containers between the railhead or port and the customer and drayage services.

Dedicated services are primarily provided in support of automotive and retail customers using van equipment. Our dedicated services are primarily short-run or round-trip moves within a defined geographic area.

Transportation services are short-term in nature; agreements governing their provision generally have a term of less than one year. They do not contain significant financing components. The Company recognizes revenue over the period transportation services are provided to the customer, including service performed as of the end of the reporting period for loads currently in-transit, in order to recognize the value that is transferred to a customer over the course of the transportation service.

We determine revenue in-transit using the input method, under which revenue is recognized based on the duration of time that has lapsed from the departure date (start of transportation services) to the arrival date (completion of transportation services). Measurement of revenue in-transit requires the application of judgment. We calculate the estimated percentage of an order’s transit time that is complete at period end, and we apply that percentage of completion to the order’s estimated revenue.

Value-added services, which are typically dedicated to individual customer requirements, include material handling, consolidation, sequencing, sub-assembly, cross-dock services, kitting, repacking, warehousing and returnable container management. Value-added revenues are substantially driven by the level of demand for outsourced logistics services. Major factors that affect value-added service revenue includes changes in manufacturing supply chain requirements and production levels in specific industries, particularly the North American automotive and Class-8 heavy-truck industries.

Revenue is recognized as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for its services. We have elected to use the “right to invoice” practical expedient to recognize revenue, reflecting that a customer obtains the benefit associated with value-added services as they are provided. The contracts in our value-added services businesses are negotiated agreements, which contain both fixed and variable components. The variability of revenues is driven by volumes and transactions, which are known as of an invoice date. Value-added service contracts typically have terms that extend beyond one year, and they do not include financing components.

The following table provides information related to contract balances associated with our contracts with customers (in thousands):

We generally receive payment for performance obligations within 45 days of completion of transportation services and 65 days for completion of value-added services. Contract assets in the table above generally relate to revenue in-transit at the end of the reporting period.

See also Note 18 for additional information on revenue reported by segment and by geographic region.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

(10)	Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and expanded disclosures with respect to fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

We have segregated all financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the tables below (in thousands):

(10)	Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures—continued

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the tables above are as follows:

•

Cash equivalents – This category consists of money market funds which are listed as Level 1 assets and measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•

Marketable securities – Marketable securities represent equity securities, which consist of common and preferred stocks, are actively traded on public exchanges and are listed as Level 1 assets. Fair value was measured based on quoted prices for these securities in active markets.

•

Interest rate swaps – The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using a methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. The fair value measurement also incorporates credit valuation adjustments reflecting both the Company’s nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk.

Our revolving credit and term loan agreements and our real estate promissory notes all consists of variable rate borrowings. We categorize borrowings under these credit agreements as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of these borrowings approximate fair value because the applicable interest rates are adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates.

For our equipment promissory notes with fixed rates, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. We categorize borrowings under this credit agreement as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values and estimated fair values of these promissory notes at December 31, 2021 is summarized as follows:

Transactions with Affiliates

(11)	Transactions with Affiliates

In the ordinary course of business, affiliated companies that are owned by our controlling shareholder, Matthew T. Moroun, provide certain supplementary administrative support services to Universal, including legal, human resources, tax, IT infrastructure and other requested services. The cost of these services is based on the actual or estimated utilization of the specific service.

Universal also purchases other services from companies owned or controlled by our controlling shareholder. Following is a schedule of cost incurred and included in operating expenses for services provided by affiliates for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

	2021		2020		2019
Administrative support services	$	4,215	$	2,629	$	4,085
Truck fuel, maintenance and other operating costs		3,887		826		895
Real estate rent and related costs		12,384		12,925		11,794
Insurance		65,076		47,133		53,050
Contracted transportation services		1,695		22		65
Total	$	87,257	$	63,535	$	69,889

We pay the direct variable cost of maintenance, fueling and other operational support costs for services delivered at our affiliate’s trucking terminals that are geographically remote from our own facilities. Such costs are billed when incurred, paid on a routine basis, and reflect actual labor utilization, repair parts costs or quantities of fuel purchased.

We also lease 30 facilities from related parties. Our occupancy is based on either month-to-month or contractual, multi-year lease arrangements which are billed and paid monthly. Leasing properties provided by an affiliate that owns a substantial commercial property portfolio affords us significant operating flexibility. However, we are not limited to such arrangements. See Note 13, “Leases” for further information regarding the cost of leased properties.

We purchase employee medical, workers’ compensation, property and casualty, cargo, warehousing and other general liability insurance from an insurance company owned by our controlling shareholder. In our Consolidated Balance Sheets, we record our insured claims liability and the related recovery in insurance and claims, and other receivables. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were $20.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively, included in each of these accounts for insured claims with an affiliate.

Other services from affiliates, including contracted transportation services, are delivered to us on a per-transaction-basis or pursuant to separate contractual arrangements provided in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounts due to affiliates were $17.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

During 2021, we contracted with an affiliate to provide real property improvements for us totaling $956,000. During 2020, we contracted with an affiliate to provide real property improvements for us totaling $3.0 million and purchased wheels and tires from an affiliate totaling $618,000 during the same period. There were no such purchases made during 2019.

Services provided by Universal to Affiliates

We periodically assist companies that are owned by our controlling shareholder by providing selected transportation and logistics services in connection with their specific customer contracts or purchase orders. Truck fueling and administrative expenses are presented net in operating expense. Following is a schedule of services provided to affiliated companies that are owned by our controlling shareholder for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

	2021		2020		2019
Purchased transportation and equipment rent	$	660	$	947	$	1,636
Total	$	660	$	947	$	1,636

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounts due from affiliates were $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

(11)	Transactions with Affiliates—continued

During 2020, we exercised our right of first refusal to acquire 6,250 shares of restricted stock from a director, H. E. “Scott” Wolfe, for $137,800 based on the closing market price on the effective date of the transaction.

We sold a vacant parcel of land to an affiliate for $2.5 million during 2019. The sales price was established by an independent third party appraisal. The Company’s basis in the land was $2.4 million, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million.

In August 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 600,000 shares of our common stock through a “Dutch auction” tender offer. Subject to certain limitations and legal requirements, we could repurchase up to an additional 2% of our outstanding shares in the tender offer. Following expiration of the tender offer, we accepted 1,101,597 shares tendered through this offer for purchase at a final purchase price of $22.50 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $24.8 million. The tender offer expired on September 13, 2019. The total amount of shares purchased in the tender offer included 600,000 shares tendered by a former director of the Company and 10,000 shares tendered by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Jude Beres. We used funds borrowed under our existing line of credit and from our available cash and cash equivalents to fund the purchase of the accepted shares.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law that was aimed at providing emergency assistance for individuals, families, and businesses affected by COVID-19. Among other things, the CARES Act includes provisions allowing for the deferral of the employer portion of social security payments. The Company took advantage of this provision and deferred the cash payment of social security taxes. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amount of deferred social security taxes was $5.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, which is included in accrued payroll taxes. See Note 8 “Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities”. The Company anticipates paying the December 31, 2021 balance of the deferred employer portion in 2022.

(12)	Income Taxes—continued

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31 consist of the following (in thousands):

	2021			2020
Domestic deferred tax assets:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	1,720		$	1,198
Other assets		1,851			1,583

Marketable securities		199			498

Total foreign deferred tax asset	$	2,060		$	2,159
Net deferred tax liability	$	59,190		$	62,267

In assessing whether deferred tax assets may be realized in the future, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of such tax assets will not be realized. The deferred tax assets and liabilities were reviewed separately by jurisdictions when measuring the need for valuation allowances. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (both ordinary income and taxable capital gains) during the periods in which those temporary differences reverse. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the domestic deferred tax assets are expected to reverse, and our ability to generate future capital gains, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. Thus, no valuation allowance has been established for the domestic deferred tax assets. We had foreign net operating loss carryforward associated with our Mexican subsidiary with a tax effect of $2.0 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The net operating loss carryforward will expire in 2030. Although realization is not assured, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized and as such no valuation allowance has been provided. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards associated with our Canadian and German subsidiaries with a tax effect of $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Based on the anticipated earnings projections, management has recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets associated with these entities.

(12)	Income Taxes—continued

Income tax expense attributable to income from continuing operations differs from the statutory rates as follows:

	2021			2020			2019
Federal statutory rate		21	%		21	%		21	%
State, net of federal benefit		4	%		4	%		3	%
Foreign		0	%		0	%		2	%
Other		0	%		0	%		-1	%
Effective tax rate		25	%		25	%		25	%

As of December 31, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit representing uncertainty in certain tax positions was $0.2 million. These uncertain tax positions are based on recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurements of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Any prospective adjustments to our accrual for uncertain tax positions will be recorded as an increase or decrease to the provision for income taxes and would impact our effective tax rate. At December 31, 2021, there are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months. As of December 31, 2021, the amount for both accrued interest and penalties was zero.

The changes in our gross unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

	2021			2020			2019
Unrecognized tax benefit – beginning of year	$	272		$	279		$	331

Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Basis of Presentation

(b)

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions relating to these entities have been eliminated.

Our fiscal year consists of four quarters, each with thirteen weeks.

COVID-19

In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) a pandemic. The Company remains committed to doing its part to protect its employees, customers, vendors and the general public from the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to adapt our operations as required to ensure safety while continuing to provide a high level of service to our customers.

To mitigate the impact to our business, we implemented numerous cost reduction efforts beginning in the second quarter 2020 including furloughing a portion of the direct labor force, requiring employees to take unpaid time-off, restricting travel, reducing discretionary spending, and various other measures. Also during the second quarter 2020 we began taking advantage of the cash deferral programs available for payment of employer social security taxes and federal and state income taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES” Act).

The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures included in its financial statements and accompanying notes and assesses certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The Company's assumptions about future conditions important to these estimates and assumptions are subject to uncertainty, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although we estimate COVID-19 had the largest impact on our business during the second quarter 2020, we are unable to predict with any certainty the future impact COVID-19 may have on our operational and financial performance. The Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available and will update its analyses accordingly.

Use of Estimates

(c)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets; marketable securities; valuation allowances for receivables; and liabilities related to insurance and claim costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments, purchased with a maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. Accounts at banks with an aggregate excess of the amount of checks issued over cash balances are included as accounts payable in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and changes in such accounts are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. At times cash held at banks may exceed FDIC insured limits.

Marketable Securities

(e)

Marketable Securities

Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s marketable securities, all of which are available-for-sale, consist of common and preferred stocks with readily determinable fair values. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method, and interest and dividends are included in other non-operating income (expense). See Note 5 “Marketable Securities” for further information on our portfolio.

Accounts Receivable

(f)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, and do not bear interest. They include amounts for services rendered in the respective period but not yet billed to the customer until a future date, which typically occurs within one month. In order to reflect customer receivables at their estimated net realizable value, we record charges against revenue based upon current information. These charges generally arise from rate changes, errors, and revenue adjustments that may arise from contract disputes or differences in calculation methods employed by the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience and the aging of our outstanding accounts receivable. Balances are considered past due based on invoiced terms. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off‑balance‑sheet credit exposure related to our customers. Accounts receivable from affiliates are shown separately and include trade receivables from the sale of services to affiliates.

Inventories

(g)

Inventories

Included in prepaid expenses and other is inventory used in a portion of our value-added service operations. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are based on our assessment of excess and obsolete inventory on a product-by-product basis.

At December 31, inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

	2021		2020
Finished goods	$	10,625	$	6,893
Raw materials and supplies		3,479		1,383
Total	$	14,104	$	8,276

Property and Equipment

(h)

Property and Equipment

Description		Life in Years
Transportation equipment		3 - 15
Other operating assets		3 - 15
Information technology equipment		3 - 5
Buildings and related assets		10 - 39

The amounts recorded for depreciation expense were $53.6 million, $58.9 million, and $59.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Tire repairs, replacement tires, replacement batteries, consumable tools used in our logistics services, and routine repairs and maintenance on vehicles are expensed as incurred. Parts and fuel inventories are included in prepaid expenses and other. We capitalize certain costs associated with vehicle repairs and maintenance that materially extend the life or increase the value of the vehicle or pool of vehicles.

Intangible Assets

(i)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of agent and customer relationships, customer contracts, tradenames, and non-competition agreements that have been acquired in business combinations. These assets are amortized either over the period of economic benefit or on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related intangible asset. The estimated useful lives of these intangible assets range from three to nineteen years. The useful lives of acquired trademarks are indefinite and, therefore, not subject to amortization.

Our identifiable intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

	2021						2020
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Definite Lived Intangibles:
Agent and customer relationships	$	165,990	$	81,198	$	84,792	$	165,990	$	69,124	$	96,866

Tradenames		4,000		4,000		—		4,000		2,731		1,269
Non-compete agreements		2,720		1,663		1,057		2,720		1,119		1,601
Indefinite Lived Intangibles:
Trademarks		2,500		—		2,500		2,500		—		2,500
Total Identifiable Intangible Assets	$	195,810	$	107,461	$	88,349	$	195,810	$	93,574	$	102,236

Estimated amortization expense by year is as follows (in thousands):

2022	$	11,740
2023		11,339
2024		10,366
2025		9,714
2026		8,903
Thereafter		33,787
Total	$	85,849

The amounts recorded for amortization expense were $13.9 million, $15.2 million, and $15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Goodwill

(j)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired in connection with the Company’s acquisitions. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, we are required to test goodwill for impairment annually (in our third fiscal quarter) or more frequently, whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill below its carrying amount. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors such as current performance and overall economic conditions to determine whether or not it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If we choose that option, then we would not be required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test unless we determine that, based on a qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we determine that it is more likely than not, or if we choose not to perform a qualitative assessment, we then proceed with the quantitative assessment. Under the quantitative test, if the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then goodwill of the reporting unit is considered to not be impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, up to the value of the goodwill. During the third quarter of 2021, we completed our goodwill impairment testing by performing a quantitative assessment using the income approach for each of our reporting units with goodwill. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires us to make estimates and assumptions related to future revenue, operating income and discount rates. Based on the results of this test, no impairment loss was recognized.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of January 1, 2020	$	168,451
Purchase accounting adjustments		2,279
Balance as of December 31, 2020		170,730
Purchase accounting adjustments		—
Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	170,730

During 2020, the Company made purchase accounting adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocations of the Company’s April 22, 2019 acquisition of Michael’s Cartage, Inc. (“Michael’s”) and November 5, 2019 acquisition of Roadrunner Intermodal Services, LLC, Morgan Southern, Inc., Wando Trucking, LLC, and Central Cal Transportation, LLC (collectively, “Roadrunner Intermodal”). The adjustments resulted in increases of $2.3 million in goodwill and $1.3 million in intangible assets, as well as decreases of $3.3 million in property and equipment, $1.5 million in other assets, $2.3 million in current liabilities, and $0.2 million in deferred tax liabilities. During 2020, the Company also paid an additional $1.3 million in cash for post-closing adjustments related to the Roadrunner acquisition. There were no such adjustments made during 2021.

At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, $56.3 million of goodwill was recorded in our contract logistics segment, $101.1 million in our intermodal segment, $9.8 million in our trucking segment and $3.5 million in our company-managed brokerage segment.

Long-Lived Assets

(k)

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles such as property and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, we first compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a long-lived asset or group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or group is deemed to not be recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market prices and independent third-party appraisals. Changes in management’s judgment relating to salvage values and/ or estimated useful lives could result in greater or lesser annual depreciation expense or impairment charges in the future. Indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually by comparing the carrying value of the assets to their fair value.

Contingent Consideration

(l)

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration arrangements granted in connection with a business combination are evaluated to determine whether contingent consideration is, in substance, additional purchase price of an acquired enterprise or compensation for services, use of property or profit sharing. Additional purchase price is added to the fair value of consideration transferred in the business combination and compensation is included in operating expenses in the period it is incurred. Contingent consideration related to additional purchase price is measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. None of the acquired companies in 2018 or 2019 had contingent consideration arrangements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(m)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of fair value as the assets are readily redeemable or short‑term in nature and the liabilities are short-term in nature. Marketable securities, consisting of equity securities, are carried at fair market value as determined by quoted market prices. Our revolving credit and term loan agreements consist of variable rate borrowings. The carrying value of these borrowings approximates fair value because the applicable interest rates are adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates. For our equipment promissory notes, the fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. See Note 10 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” for further information.

Deferred Compensation

(n)

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation relates to our bonus plans. Annual bonuses may be awarded to certain operating, sales and management personnel based on overall Company performance and achievement of specific employee or departmental objectives. Such bonuses are typically paid in annual installments over a five-year period. All bonus amounts earned by and due to employees in the current year are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Those that are payable in subsequent years are included in other long-term liabilities.

Closing Costs

(o)

Closing Costs

Our customers may discontinue or alter their business activity in a location earlier than anticipated, prompting us to exit a customer-dedicated facility. We recognize exit costs associated with operations that close or are identified for closure as an accrued liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such charges include lease termination costs, employee termination charges, asset impairment charges, and other exit-related costs associated with a plan approved by management. If we close an operating facility before its lease expires, costs to terminate a lease are recognized when an early termination provision is exercised, or we record a liability for non-cancellable lease obligations based on the fair value of remaining lease payments, reduced by any existing or prospective sublease rentals. Employee termination costs are recognized in the period that the closure is communicated to affected employees. The recognition of exit and disposal charges requires us to make certain assumptions and estimates as to the amount and timing of such charges. Subsequently, adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known.

Revenue Recognition

(p)

Revenue Recognition

For our transportation services businesses, which include truckload, brokerage, intermodal and dedicated services, revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligations on the in-transit services are completed. A performance obligation is created when a customer submits a bill of lading for the transportation of goods from origin to destination. Performance obligations are satisfied as the shipments move from origin to destination, and transportation revenue is recognized based on the percentage of the service that has been completed at the end of the reporting period.

Value-added services, which are typically dedicated to individual customer requirements, include material handling, consolidation, sequencing, sub-assembly, cross-dock services, kitting, repacking, warehousing and returnable container management. We have elected to use the “right to invoice” practical expedient, reflecting that a customer obtains the benefit associated with value-added services as they are provided.

We are the primary obligor when rendering services and assume the corresponding credit risk with customers. We have discretion in setting sales prices and, as a result, our earnings may vary. In addition, we have discretion to choose and negotiate terms with our multiple suppliers for the services ordered by our customers. This includes owner-operators with whom we contract to deliver our transportation services. As such, revenue and the related purchased transportation and commissions are recognized on a gross basis. Fuel surcharges, where separately identifiable, of $96.9 million, $67.9 million and $89.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in operating revenues.

See Note 3, “Revenue Recognition,” for more information on revenue recognition.

Insurance & Claims

(q)

Insurance & Claims

Insurance and claims expense represents charges for premiums and the accruals made for claims within our self-insured retention amounts. The accruals are primarily related to auto liability, general liability, cargo and equipment damage, and service failure claims. A liability is recognized for the estimated cost of all self-insured claims including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims based on historical experience and for claims expected to exceed our policy limits. We may also make accruals for personal injury and property damage to third parties, and workers’ compensation claims if a claim exceeds our insurance coverage. Such accruals are based upon individual cases and estimates of ultimate losses, incurred but not reported losses, and losses arising from known claims ultimately settling in excess of insurance coverage using loss development factors based upon industry data and past experience. Since the reported accrual is an estimate, the ultimate liability may be materially different from the amount recorded.

If adjustments to previously established accruals are required, such amounts are included in operating expenses in the current period. We maintain insurance with licensed insurance carriers. Legal expenses related to auto liability claims are covered under our insurance policy. We are responsible for all other legal expenses related to claims.

In brokerage arrangements, our exposure to liability associated with accidents incurred by other third-party carriers, who haul freight on our behalf, is reduced by various factors including the extent to which the third party providers maintain their own insurance coverage.

Our insurance expense varies primarily based upon the frequency and severity of our accident experience, insurance rates, coverage limits, and self-insured retention amounts.

Stock Based Compensation

(r)

Stock Based Compensation

We record compensation expense for the grant of stock based awards. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). See Note 15 “Stock Based Compensation” for further information.

Income Taxes

(s)

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. In addition, we file income tax returns in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Historically, we have been responsible for filing separate state, local and foreign income tax returns for our self and our subsidiaries. We are no longer subject to state or foreign jurisdiction income tax examinations for years before 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. We recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense and penalties in other operating expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation

(t)

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries operating in Mexico, Canada and Colombia are prepared to conform to U.S. GAAP and translated into U.S. Dollars by applying a current exchange rate. The local currency has been determined to be the functional currency. Items appearing in the Consolidated Statements of Income are translated using average exchange rates during each period. Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at period-end exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

(u)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities with high quality financial institutions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. Our customers are generally concentrated in the automotive, retail and consumer goods, wind energy, building materials, machinery and metals industries. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, aggregate sales in the automotive industry totaled 31%, 29% and 27% of revenue, respectively. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, General Motors accounted for approximately 13%, 14% and 12% of our total operating revenues, respectively. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, sales to our top 10 customers, including General Motors, totaled 38%, 38% and 39%, respectively.

Value-added services, which are typically dedicated to individual customer requirements, include material handling, consolidation, sequencing, sub-assembly, cross-dock services, kitting, repacking, warehousing and returnable container management. We have elected to use the “right to invoice” practical expedient, reflecting that a customer obtains the benefit associated with value-added services as they are provided.

See Note 3, “Revenue Recognition,” for more information on revenue recognition.
