red carpet, mahogany wood. I mean, just, I mean, I just was so out of my realm, but interviewing with the commodity managers. And then a week later they, they offered me the job so that, yeah, that was really my start in the, the grain and logistics business.

But I think I was going to say what was interesting for me personally when I went to go work at Bartlett. So at that time, I think there was a guy that was doing some trucking stuff. And for whatever reason, they let him go or he had left. And no one was doing trucking. So a lot of the commodity managers, a lot of them, I'd go to talk to them. Well, none of them wanted to do trucking.

I mean, you talked about trucking. I mean, it was a bad word. I mean, it was like a four-letter word. People just didn't want to deal with trucks. It was a pain in the butt. So most of the commodity managers at that time, they were buying everything delivered. They weren't buying an FOB.

And when I started to work there, I just started realizing there was an opportunity to start going out, figuring out freight rates. And it just allowed us to actually buy more grain because of it. So we actually started buying more grain FOB, coordinating the freight, even matching up freight with other freight.

And that's kind of where it all really started and really fell in love with the logistics business.

Went to the Kansas City Board of Trade. 2005 is when I started, yeah. April 2005. Yeah, you've been in it for a while.

So pneumatics, it can be a wide variety. So I'll tell you the reason why the pneumatic versus other trailer types – Those tanks are, uh, compressurized. So a lot of times if that product inside has to be blown out, usually blown until like a silo or something else, that's why they have to use those trailers.

So where we see a lot of them, um, and you'll see them locally, a lot of cement haulers, um, run pneumatics. So that powdery cement, a lot of times it's not, it can't get hold in a hopper or an end dump. It's just, it's too, it packs up too much. Um, so it's gotta be compressurized and blown out. Um, Those – the pneumatics got really popular back in the frac sand hauling days.
