Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Legal Proceedings	Contingencies and Legal Proceedings Legal Proceedings The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to its business. The majority of these claims relate to bodily injury, property damage, cargo and workers' compensation incurred in the transportation of freight, as well as certain class action litigation related to personnel and employment matters. We record a liability when we believe that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on our present knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, advice of outside counsel, management believes the resolution of open claims and pending litigation, taking into account existing reserves, is not likely to have a materially adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, any future claims or adverse developments in existing claims could impact this analysis. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, as well as legal fees which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $6.9 million, relating to the Company's outstanding legal proceedings as of September 30, 2024. Commutation of Third-Party Carrier Insurance Risk On February 14, 2024, the Company finalized the terms of a transaction with the insurer under the third-party reinsurance agreement covering auto liability associated with the Company's third-party carrier insurance business. The agreement effectively transferred $161.1 million in third-party auto liability insurance claim liabilities to the insurer for policy periods from October 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023 funded by transferring the corresponding restricted cash held in trust for payment of the third-party insurance claims.
