In order to maintain an adequate pool of available equipment, it is often necessary to purchase replacement equipment and place them in service before trucks and trailers scheduled for replacement are removed from service. The timing of this process often requires the Company to pay for new equipment before receiving any proceeds from retired equipment, or without any reduction in price for trade units. In this situation, the Company later receives payment for the equipment scheduled for replacement once they are delivered to the buyer and have passed inspection. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received approximately $36.9 million and $22.6 million, respectively, for disposed revenue equipment.

During 2024, we maintained a revolving line of credit with a borrowing limit of $60.0 million. Under this credit facility, amounts outstanding under the line bear interest at Term SOFR plus 1.85% (6.42% at December 31, 2024), are secured by our trade accounts receivable and mature on July 1, 2027. The credit facility also establishes an “unused fee” of 0.25% if average borrowings are less than $18.0 million. At December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings against the line of credit and approximately $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, with availability to borrow $59.8 million.

Trade accounts receivable remained relatively flat year-over-year, with a balance of $80.0 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $80.6 million at December 31, 2023.

Marketable equity securities at December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $0.6 million as compared to December 31, 2023. The decrease resulted from the sales of marketable equity securities approximating $3.7 million offset by an increase in the market value of the portfolio by approximately $3.1 million. At December 31, 2024, the remaining marketable equity securities have a combined cost basis of approximately $27.1 million and a combined fair market value of approximately $42.6 million. The Company has developed a strategy to invest in securities from which it expects to receive dividends that qualify for favorable tax treatment, as well as appreciate in value. During 2024, the Company received dividends of approximately $1.5 million. The holding term of these securities depends
