For us, microly or internally, I think, and this will be with any business, but I think for us, how do we keep evolving technology? We're a technology company, bulk loads. So for us, it's just, man, you look at the whole AI industry and kind of what that's come into and everything. You know, some people think it's going to be the save all solve all.

I don't believe that, but I do believe that it's going to, obviously it already is playing an integral role. But for us, the challenges are, how do you, how do you look to see how AI solves a lot of those manual processes? Because I mean, and it's already happening, the digital revolution on trucking. I mean, it was just four years ago.

Most companies were still sending in physical tickets and documentation that today has just been gone. I mean, truckers, I think farmers probably the same way. You're not sending in hard copy tickets to get paid on grain loads or freight bills or anything like that. It's all electronic. So for us, it's really trying to match what the industry is doing in the technology.

That's that's probably our biggest challenge. That's what probably keeps me up at night more than anything is like, how do we keep evolving being a technology company with the technology that's out there?

The short answer is no. So I think – and again, it's just you guys took ag econ, right? I mean supply and demand. The demand will always fill if there's supply. I think where people – this is a whole bigger topic. There's been this narrative that there's a shortage of drivers, in my opinion, to get more drivers in the industry to flush more drivers out, to cycle them through, to get cheap labor.

So, you know, you can get big companies promoting driver shortage where everybody thinks they're, you know, grass is greener there. I'm going to run to that. They get them through there. These guys, they cycle them out. They don't treat them well. They flush them out. And again, it's just a way to get lower cost labor, in my opinion. That's an interesting take. I've never thought of it that way.
