The increase in revenue per load on revenue hauled by third-party truck capacity providers was primarily attributable to both an increase in the number of loads hauled on unsided/platform equipment, which has a higher revenue per load, and an increase in the revenue per load on loads hauled on unsided/platform equipment. Fuel surcharges on Truck Brokerage Carrier revenue identified separately in billings to customers and included as a component of Truck Brokerage Carrier revenue were $83,075,000 and $71,129,000 in the 2012 and 2011 periods, respectively.

The number of loads hauled by third-party truck capacity providers in the 2012 thirteen-week period increased 7% compared to the 2011 thirteen-week period, while revenue per load on revenue hauled by third-party truck capacity providers decreased 1% compared to the 2011 thirteen-week period. The increase in the number of loads hauled by third-party truck capacity providers was primarily attributable to an increase in overall demand.

Other operating costs were 5.7% and 5.8% of gross profit in the 2012 and 2011 thirteen-week periods, respectively. The decrease in other operating costs as a percentage of gross profit was primarily attributable to increased gains on sales of trailing equipment, a decreased provision for contractor bad debt and the effect of increased gross profit. Insurance and claims were 7.1% of gross profit in the 2012 period and 8.5% of gross profit in the 2011 period. The decrease in insurance and claims as a percentage of gross profit was primarily due to increased favorable development of prior year claims in the 2012 period. Selling, general and administrative costs were 33.2% of gross profit in the 2012 period and 35.4% of gross profit in the 2011 period. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of gross profit was primarily attributable to a decreased provision for bonuses under the Companys incentive compensation plan, decreased legal fees and the effect of increased gross profit, partly offset by an increased provision for customer bad debt. Depreciation and amortization was 6.3% of gross profit in the 2012 period compared with 5.9% in the 2011 period. The increase in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of gross profit was primarily due to additions of trailing equipment that replaced older fully depreciated trailing equipment.
