Business Combinations [Abstract]
Investment	Investment Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. On August 19, 2008, we completed the purchase of a 65% equity interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”), a Shanghai, China ground transportation company for a purchase price of $59.4 million. Through March 31, 2010, we accounted for our 65% ownership interest in Jiayu as an equity method investment as the rights of the minority shareholder were considered extensive and allowed him to veto many business decisions. These rights were primarily provided as a part of the General Manager role held by the minority shareholder. Effective April, 1, 2010, the minority shareholder no longer had a role in managing the operations of the business which changed the conclusions from an accounting perspective regarding the relationship with this joint venture and required that we consolidate Jiayu in our financial statements effective April 1, 2010. The results of operations for Jiayu were included in our ‘Corporate and other’ reporting segment from April 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012. In an effort to focus on our core operations, we entered into an agreement in March 2012 to sell our 65% equity interest in Jiayu to the minority shareholder. The completion of the transaction is subject to Chinese regulatory approval and expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012. At the time the agreement was entered into, management control was passed to the minority shareholder and, as a result, we deconsolidated our interest in Jiayu during March 2012 and returned to accounting for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. Based on the March 2012 agreement, we recorded our equity method investment at its estimated fair value of $0 and wrote off a $12.0 million note receivable from Jiayu. After consideration of the non-controlling interest and other factors, we recognized a loss of $4.2 million upon the deconsolidation of our investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest was allocated a $4.2 million gain on this transaction.
