Gross intangible routes, permits, trade names, non-compete agreements and other intangibles decreased in fiscal 2020 as a result of approximately $5.8 million of fully amortized asset retirements partially offset by an increase from foreign currency translation. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, was approximately $18.4 million, $18.5 million, $54.5 million and $55.3 million, respectively.
