| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||
| Contingencies | Contingencies We are a party to various proceedings and matters involving employment, intellectual property, environmental, taxation, vehicle-related personal injury, and other laws. When it is probable, in management's judgment, that we may incur monetary damages or other costs resulting from these proceedings or other claims, and we can reasonably estimate the amounts, we record appropriate accruals in the financial statements and make charges against earnings. For all periods presented, we have recorded no material charges against earnings. Also, when it is reasonably possible that we may incur additional loss in excess of recorded accruals, and we can reasonably estimate the additional losses or range of losses, we disclose such additional reasonably possible losses in these notes. Accruals and Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals Accruals for Probable Losses Although we deny liability in all currently threatened or pending litigation proceedings, we have recorded a litigation contingency accrual for our reasonable estimate of probable loss, in the aggregate, of $2.2 and $1.4 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There were no material adjustments to the accrual, including cash payments and expense, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The accruals do not include accrued expenses related to employment, workers' compensation, vehicle-related personal injury, product and general liability claims, taxation issues, and environmental matters, some of which may contain a portion of litigation expense. However, any litigation expense associated with these categories is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Reasonably Possible Losses in Excess of Accruals Although there are a number of uncertainties and potential outcomes associated with our pending or threatened litigation proceedings, we believe, based on current known facts, that additional losses, if any, are not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, based upon current known facts, as of June 30, 2025, aggregate reasonably possible (but not probable, and therefore, not accrued) losses in excess of the accruals noted above are estimated to be $18.0. If our assumptions or analyses regarding any of our contingencies are incorrect, or if facts change or future litigation arises, we could realize losses in excess of the recorded accruals (including losses in excess of the $18.0 referenced above), which could have a material negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
