So the process is relatively pretty simple. I think to counteract that, I think you You have too many people getting into it without any business knowledge, not knowing what pricing is, not knowing what rate per mile they should be hauling. And that's where we're really trying to teach people to make sure that they're not getting into a spot where they can't get out of.

Yeah, absolutely. And in trucking, you got to have a good reputation. You got to do the job, but you're... you're hauling from point A to point B. And there's a lot more, there's service to that. But most companies in the bulk space, and again, I can talk to you when I was a shipper and we hired trucks. For me, it was a matter of like, hey, I got this much to move.

And yeah, I had certain companies that did business with me that I would maybe pick over. But for lack, I mean, it didn't matter whether you were brand new or had 10 years experience. I mean, if you had available truck, you're getting the loads just like everybody else. I mean, because there's just always that much more to move. Nice.

I can see in some industries, if you get more specialized, trying to get in with, there is something with these bigger companies. So if you want to get in hauling for, let's just say Cargill out of a soy processing plant or a DDG plant, there is probably more of a line or wait list that you got to have to get on those. And typically the rule of thumb, you'll probably start off owner operator.

Yeah, man, I'm so glad you brought that up. We are super excited. This will be our third year hosting the Bulk Freight Conference. This was something, it was four years ago, we started brainstorming. And one thing we realized, like bulk loads, we created this ecosystem of shippers, brokers, and carriers, and we did it digitally.
