280 for the year-ended December 31, 2024. Both our truckload operations and our brokerage/logistics operations have similar economic characteristics and are impacted by virtually the same economic factors as discussed elsewhere in this Report. Based on the Company’s segment identification, interpretation of the aggregation criteria outlined in ASC 280-10-50-11, and the similar qualitative and quantitative economic characteristics of the Company’s operating segments, the operations of the Company are aggregated into a single motor carrier segment.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, utilizes the metrics of net income and operating ratio to evaluate company performance and in competitive analysis when comparing to competing companies. The accounting policies of the motor carrier segment are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies found in this report. For purposes of this report, net income reflects the profitability of our operations by calculating the total earnings after deducting operating expenses, interest expense, income taxes and any other applicable costs from total revenue. The measure of net income is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net (loss) income. Operating ratio is the measure of our efficiency in managing operating expenses relative to revenue generation. It is calculated as total operating expenses as a percentage of total operating revenue. The measure of operating ratio is reported in the Company’s Results of Operations found in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this Report, for each of the Company’s two operating segments of Truckload Services and Brokerage and Logistics Services.
