General
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. We believe such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to quarterly reports on Form
10
-Q, the accompanying financial statements do
not
include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While we believe the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information
not
misleading, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016.
Operating results for the periods presented in this report are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that
may
be expected for the calendar year ending
December 31, 2017,
or any other interim period. Our business is somewhat seasonal with slightly higher freight volumes typically experienced during
August
through early
November
in our full-load freight transportation business.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.

We have selected an implementation team and are in the process of contract review and documentation in accordance with the standard. We intend to adopt this new standard in the
first
quarter
2018,
using the modified retrospective transition approach. Based on our work to date, we do
not
expect the standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amended and simplified certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016.
The application methods used in adoption varied with each component of the standard. We prospectively adopted ASU

which, upon vesting of share-based awards, will result in the recognition of excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies from share-based compensation as a discrete item in our income tax expense. Historically, these amounts were recorded as additional paid-in capital. Effectively all of our outstanding share-based awards vest within the
third
quarter of the vesting year. In addition, cash flows from excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, which historically have been reported as cash flows from financing activities are now reported, on a prospective basis, as cash flows from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The remaining amendments within the standard had
no
impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
