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, 2017.
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, 2018,
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.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
February 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU

Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet as well as other qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU

is to be applied using a modified retrospective method and is effective for us on
January 1, 2019.
In
July 2018,
the FASB issued ASU
2018
-
11,
Leases, which provides an optional transition method allowing entities to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity in the period of adoption, with
no
restatement of comparative prior periods required. We expect to adopt the standard using this optional transition method.
 
The FASB has provided certain practical expedients in applying the standard. Of the allowed practical expedients within the standard applicable to our operations, we will elect the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification upon adoption of the standard. We will
not
elect the hindsight practical expedient when determining the lease term for existing leases. In addition, we will
not
separate nonlease components from lease components by class of underlying assets where appropriate and we will
not
apply the recognition requirements of the standard to short-term leases, as allowed by the standard.
 
Upon adoption of the standard we expect to record offsetting lease assets and lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We do
not
expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on our earnings or debt covenant compliance and
no
impact on our cash flows. See Note
10,
Commitments and Contingencies, in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017
for discussion of our remaining obligations under operating lease arrangements.
 
In

the FASB issued ASU

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard is effective for us on
January 1, 2020,
but early adoption is permitted. ASU

can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of the new guidance is
not
expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 adopted ASU

in the
first
quarter
2018,
using the modified retrospective transition approach, which did
not
have a material impact on how we recognize revenue or to our financial statements or disclosures. See below for additional information related to our recognition of revenue generated from customer contracts.
 
We record revenues on the gross basis at amounts charged to our customers because we control and are primarily responsible for the fulfillment of promised services. Accordingly, we serve as a principal in the transaction. We invoice our customers, and we maintain discretion over pricing. Additionally, we are responsible for selection of
third
-party transportation providers to the extent used to satisfy customer freight requirements.
 
Revenue
 
 
Our revenue is earned through the service offerings of our
four
reportable business segments. See Note
10,
Business Segments, for revenue reported by segment. All revenue transactions between reporting segments are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Intermodal (JBI) -
JBI segment includes freight that is transported by rail over at least some portion of the movement and also includes certain repositioning truck freight moved by JBI equipment or
third
-party carriers, when such highway movement is intended to direct JBI equipment back toward intermodal operations. JBI performs these services primarily through contractual rate quotes with customers that are held static for a period of time, usually
one
year.
 
Dedicated Contract Services® (DCS)
- DCS segment business includes company-owned and customer-owned, DCS-operated revenue equipment and employee drivers assigned to a specific customer, traffic lane, or service. DCS operations usually include formal, written longer-term customer contracts that govern services performed and applicable rates.
 
Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS)
- ICS provides non-asset and asset-light transportation solutions to customers through relationships with
third
-party carriers and integration with company-owned equipment. ICS services include flatbed, refrigerated, and less-than-truckload (LTL), as well as a variety of dry-van and intermodal solutions. ICS performs these services through customer contractual rate quotes as well as spot quotes that are
one
-time rate quotes issued for a single transaction or group of transactions.
 
Truckload (JBT)
- JBT business includes full-load, dry-van freight that is typically transported utilizing company-owned or company-controlled revenue equipment. This freight is typically transported over roads and highways and does
not
move by rail. JBT utilizes both contractual rate quotes and spot rate quotes with customers.
 
We recognize revenue from customer contracts based on relative transit time in each reporting period and as other performance obligations are provided, with related expenses recognized as incurred. Accordingly, a portion of the total revenue that will be billed to the customer is recognized in each reporting period based on the percentage of the freight pickup and delivery performance obligation that has been completed at the end of the reporting period.
