But she could never find anything on semi trucks. So I had the idea. And this idea, I guess, was probably eight years ago when they were still little tykes. But why not create a fictional character that's a semi-truck? So just like Thomas the Train, why don't we make a trucking character called Semi-Sam and go through his adventures? So that was kind of the start of it.

I am a little bit – I love art, and I did art when I was in high school. My mom's an artist, and so I just – I started sketching these images and just started to think of kind of cool storylines. So that's really what – what brought out semi Sam. So yeah, we started, I think we released or finally got the first one to copy four years ago, three or four years ago. And yeah, it's just been fun.

We try to release another one every year. We got five books as of today. And so it's everything from semi Sam delivering a tractor to the farm to Semi-Sam going to a truck show. We just released one this fall. Semi-Sam delivers pumpkins. So yeah, it's just a fun storyline. Our goal with these, you can find them on Amazon anywhere. We probably give more out to our customers.

It's just a good piece when our guys go to visit farmers, trucking companies. Most people have a child or grandchild, niece or nephew that that can value these books. So my goal or intent with these books are really to get them in the hands of children, just to really teach the value of trucking number one, but also agriculture. And our goal is to keep doing that.

So the first sketches, I started sketching together. Then I gave it to a graphic artist that did computer print. Those were the first three books that we did. A gentleman in our office who's our videographer, his wife is an artist, Claire Zegler. And she's actually taken over the illustration. So the newer books are now hand sketched by her and illustrated. And she's done a phenomenal job.

Actually, the newer books now that we do are so much better just because, again, it gives it more that I don't want to say Pete the Cat look, but just that real drawing type look and not just a computer generated image. Is she for hire? I can reach out and ask, but yeah, potentially.

It's funny. We, uh, so when we talk about this, we will start goofing around, but like you can come up with so many creative characters and storylines, but like real life examples, uh, plugged into characters. So, uh, I, uh, yeah, it's fun just to kind of imagine some of these other characters you can create and, and, and how it relates to real life stories. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure you guys can relate to this the same, how the shows evolved from the beginning, you know, in our very beginning. And we try to do, you know, bring on actual trucking company members and some of their success stories. But I mean, everything from...
