There's some of these companies that the driver turnover, it's just, I mean, in these big mega companies, it's just obscene when you see how many people come through and flush it and they know, and I don't know, I don't know this exact, but they have a mathematical formula that they know that they're going to wash out 50 companies that they're going to have X amount of drivers come in, get them in a truck.

I think we'd be fools to think it's not. I mean, it's going to be in all industries, you know, from even, you know, taxis. I mean, any kind of delivery, trains, planes. I don't think – I mean, it's just a matter of time, and I wish I had a crystal ball to say when. But I think that there's got to be more automation in trucking, and there's going to be more implementation.

I mean, we're already seeing it now. I mean, a lot of these new trucks, they have – lane assist and crash control. So I think we have to keep doing that to even also offset the amount of wrecks and crashes that are happening on these highways. So does Jared see a completely driverless truck in the next five years? I don't think so.

But do you see a truck that's 99% run automated with a driver up there in the next probably five, 10 years? I can see it as a possibility. And it's already happening. I mean, the thing is right now it's already, I mean, there's completely driverless trucks at a lot of these warehouses within confined spaces.

I think, I don't know if it's Amazon or some of these others, but there's trucks that, I mean, they're being run a hundred percent without human interaction, you know, that are moving little trailers and yet in, in small lots. So, I mean, it's in safer confinement environments.

You know, that's really not my expertise. I don't, I don't get involved on like truck and trailer pricing. I mean, I can tell you where just from on our, we have a forum on our website where people talk and I mean, truckpaper.com. I think a lot of people go there. We do have a for sale classified section on bulk loads that actually gets a lot of attention.
