 Operating Leases

Rent expense for operating leases for revenue equipment that resulted from our prior IDC acquisition was $0.0 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $0.9 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. These operating leases terminated March 31, 2019. These expenses were included in rent and purchased transportation in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

We currently lease certain terminal facilities under operating leases and we expect these current leases to expire in 2019 and 2020. One of these leases contains a purchase option which we have exercised and expect to close on the purchase during the fourth quarter of 2019. We are responsible for all taxes, insurance, and utilities related to the terminal leases. Rent expenses for terminal facilities were $0.6 million and $2.0 million (including related-party rental payments totaling $0.0 million and $0.0 million), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Rent expenses for terminal facilities were $1.2 million and $3.8 million (including related-party rental payments totaling $0.3 million and $0.7 million), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Historically, a portion of these leases were with limited liability companies, whose members include one of our board members and a commercial tractor dealership whose owners include one of our board members. The related-party rental payments were entered into as a result of a previous acquisition, although these leases ended in November, 2018. All operating lease expense is included in rent and purchased transportation in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 15 for additional information regarding related party transactions.
