Each of the independent commission sales agents has the opportunity to market all of the services provided by the transportation logistics segment. Freight transportation services are typically charged to customers on a per shipment basis for the physical transportation of freight. Supply chain solution customers are generally charged fees for the services provided. Revenue recognized by the transportation logistics segment when providing capacity to customers to haul their freight is referred to herein as transportation services revenue and revenue for freight management services recognized on a fee-for-service basis is referred to herein as transportation management fees. During the twenty six weeks ended June 26, 2010, transportation services revenue hauled by BCO Independent Contractors, Truck Brokerage Carriers, rail intermodal, ocean cargo carriers and air cargo carriers represented 54%, 40%, 3%, 1%, and 1%, respectively, of the Companys transportation logistics segment revenue. Transportation management fees represented 1% of the Companys transportation logistics segment revenue in the twenty-six-week period ended June 26, 2010.
Revenue for the 2010 twenty-six-week period was $1,189,809,000, an increase of $229,398,000, or 23.9%, compared to the 2009 twenty-six-week period. Revenue increased $230,802,000, or 24.5%, at the transportation logistics segment. The increase in revenue at the transportation logistics segment was primarily attributable to a 19% increase in the number of loads hauled and a higher revenue per load of approximately 4%. The increase in the number of loads hauled was generally attributable to improvement in the overall U.S. economy during the 2010 first half and the impact of market share gains from agents recruited during 2009. The increase in revenue per load was generally attributable to increased demand and tightening capacity. Revenue hauled by BCO Independent Contractors, Truck Brokerage Carriers, air cargo carriers and ocean cargo carriers increased 15%, 41%, 14% and 19%, respectively, while revenue hauled by rail intermodal carriers decreased 7%. Included in the 2010 twenty-six-week period was $11,211,000 of transportation management fees related to the Acquired Entities.

Revenue per load for loads hauled by Truck Brokerage Carriers, rail intermodal carriers and air cargo carriers increased approximately 10%, 10% and 86%, respectively, compared to the 2009 period. Revenue per load for loads hauled by ocean cargo carriers decreased approximately 1% compared to the 2009 period. Revenue per load for loads hauled by BCO Independent Contractors remained flat.

Fuel surcharges on Truck Brokerage Carrier revenue identified separately in billings to customers and included as a component of Truck Brokerage Carrier revenue were $42,015,000 and $18,986,000 in the 2010 and 2009 periods, respectively. Fuel surcharges billed to customers on revenue hauled by BCO Independent Contractors are excluded from revenue.
Purchased transportation was 76.3% and 74.8% of revenue in the 2010 and 2009 twenty-six-week periods, respectively. The increase in purchased transportation as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to increased revenue hauled by Truck Brokerage Carriers, which tends to have a higher cost of purchased transportation, and increased rates of purchased transportation paid to Truck Brokerage Carriers. Commissions to agents were 7.3% of revenue in the 2010 period and 8.1% of revenue in the 2009 period. The decrease in commissions to agents as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to decreased gross profit on revenue hauled by Truck Brokerage Carriers.

Insurance and claims were 2.2% of revenue in the 2010 period and 2.0% of revenue in the 2009 period. The increase in insurance and claims as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to favorable development of prior year claims reported in 2009 and increased severity of commercial trucking claims in the 2010 period. Selling, general and administrative costs were 6.2% of revenue in the 2010 period and 6.9% of revenue in the 2009 period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the effect of increased revenue and a decreased provision for customer bad debt, partially offset by a $6,416,000 provision for bonuses under the Companys incentive compensation programs in the 2010 period compared to no provision in the 2009 period and $7,714,000 of selling, general and administrative costs of the Acquired Entities in the 2010 period. Included in selling, general and administrative costs in the 2009 period was $2,005,000 of one-time costs related to the acquisitions of the Acquired Entities. Depreciation and amortization was 1.0% of revenue in the 2010 period, compared with 1.2% in the 2009 period. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the effect of increased revenue.
Interest and debt expense was 0.1% of revenue in the 2010 twenty-six-week period, compared to 0.3% in the 2009 period. The decrease in interest and debt expense as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the effect of increased revenue and lower average capital lease obligations.
