The inventories in the table above do not include truck chassis inventory financed through a floor plan financing agreement as discussed in Note 6.  The Company takes title to truck chassis upon receipt of the inventory through its floor plan agreement and performs up-fitting service installations to the truck chassis inventory during the installation period.  The floor plan obligation is then assumed by the dealer customer upon delivery.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $6,034 and $3,939 of chassis inventory and related floor plan financing obligation, respectively.  The Company recognizes revenue associated with up-fitting and service installations net of the truck chassis.

 

Unlike the floor plan agreement, the Company does not record inventory related to the truck chassis acquired through the bailment pool agreement as these truck chassis are held on consignment.  Like the revenue recognized on floor plan arrangement, revenue recognized for up-fitting services on chassis acquired through the bailment agreement are also recognized net of the truck chassis.
