J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT)

Revenue Equipment

Our JBI segment utilizes high-cube containers, which can be separated from the chassis and double-stacked on rail cars.  We continue the process of expanding our container fleet and reconditioning our chassis fleet.  The composition of our DCS trailing fleet also varies with specific customer requirements and may include dry-vans, flatbeds, temperature-controlled, curtain-side vans, straight trucks and dump trailers.  Our JBT segment operates primarily with 53-foot dry-van trailers.  We continue to execute our strategy of reducing the size of the JBT segment.  We primarily utilize third-party carriers’ tractor and trailing equipment for our ICS segment; however, certain loads will utilize third-party carriers’ tractors powering our trailing equipment.

As of December 31, 2008, our company-owned tractor and truck fleet consisted of 9,067 units.  In addition, we had 912 independent contractors, who operate their own tractors, but transport freight in our trailing equipment.  We operate with standardized tractors in as many fleets as possible, particularly in our JBI and JBT fleets.  Based on our customers’ preferences and the actual business application, our DCS fleet is extremely diversified.  We believe operating with relatively newer revenue equipment provides better customer service, attracts quality drivers and lowers maintenance expense.  At December 31, 2008, the average age of our combined tractor fleet was 3.3 years, our containers averaged 5.3 years of age and our trailers averaged 7.2 years.  We perform routine servicing and preventive maintenance on our equipment at most of our regional terminal facilities.

Effective with model-year 2007 tractors, the EPA mandated lower emission standards for newly manufactured heavy-duty tractor engines.  The 2007 EPA-compliant engines show a slight reduction in miles per gallon and an increase in operating costs.  Further, the acquisition costs of these new engines have increased by approximately 10%.  A new set of more stringent emissions standards will become effective for newly manufactured tractor engines in January 2010.

Revenue Equipment

We operate a significant number of tractors, trucks, containers and trailers in connection with our business.  This equipment may be purchased or acquired under operating lease agreements.  In addition, we may rent revenue equipment from third parties and various railroads under short-term rental arrangements.  Revenue equipment that is purchased is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life down to an estimated salvage or trade-in value.  We periodically review the useful lives and salvage values of our revenue equipment and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment.  See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of our plan to sell certain revenue equipment.  We have not identified any impairment to our remaining assets at December 31, 2008.

We have an agreement with our primary tractor supplier for residual or trade-in values for certain new equipment.  We have utilized these trade-in values, as well as other operational information such as anticipated annual miles, in accounting for depreciation expense.  If our tractor supplier were unable to perform under the terms of our agreement for trade-in values, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
