Network Optimization
In the second quarter of 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment implemented its plan to optimize its freight network. This optimization reduced the number of handling and relay locations. Costs associated with this plan, which consist of employee separation costs and contract termination, asset impairments and other costs, are recorded at either their contractual amounts or their fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $7.8 million related to these costs in the YRC Freight reporting segment.

Charges for the network optimization are included in "Salaries, wages and employees' benefits" as it relates to employee separation costs and "Operating expenses and supplies" as is relates to contract termination and other costs in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. In addition to the charges detailed below, we have recorded impairment charges on facilities that are part of the network optimization totaling $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. These charges are included in "(Gains) losses on property disposals, net" in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

A rollforward of our restructuring accrual (which includes both our 2013 Network Optimization and our 2010 restructuring) is as follows:
