NOTE

– SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company’s
two
reportable segments are Trucking and USAT Logistics.
 
Trucking
. Trucking is comprised of
one
-way truckload and dedicated freight motor carrier services. Truckload provides
one
-way motor carrier services as a common and contract carrier, in which volumes typically are
not
contractually committed, and dedicated contract motor carrier services, in which a combination of equipment and drivers is contractually committed to a particular customer, typically for a duration of at least
one
year, subject to certain cancellation rights. USA Truck has provided truckload motor carrier services since its inception, and continues to derive the largest portion of its gross revenue from these services.
 
USAT Logistics
. USAT Logistics’ service offerings consist of freight brokerage, logistics, and rail intermodal services. Each of these service offerings match customer shipments with available equipment of authorized
third
-party motor carriers and other service providers and provide services that complement the Company’s Trucking operations. The Company provides these services primarily to existing Trucking customers, many of whom prefer to rely on a single service provider, or a small group of service providers, to provide all their transportation solutions.
 
Revenue equipment assets are
not
allocated to USAT Logistics as freight services for customers are brokered through arrangements with
third
-party motor carriers who utilize their own equipment. To the extent rail intermodal operations require the use of Company-owned assets, they are obtained from the Company’s Trucking segment on an as-needed basis. Depreciation and amortization expense is allocated to USAT Logistics based on the Company-owned assets specifically utilized to generate USAT Logistics revenue. All intercompany transactions between segments reflect rates similar to those that would be negotiated with independent
third
parties. All other expenses for USAT Logistics are specifically identifiable direct costs or are allocated to USAT Logistics based on relevant cost drivers, as determined by management.
 
In determining its reportable segments, the Company’s management focuses on financial information, such as operating revenue, operating expense categories, operating ratios and operating income, as well as on key operating statistics, to make operating decisions.
