Andreas, specifically, what does the right equipment decision look like and what mistakes do you see carriers making along that process?

Yeah, so why I feel like I'm comfortable with speaking about this is just from the lessons that my dad taught me from his 30 plus years of having trucks and the whole family having trucks.

Everybody had trucks in our family.

People are going out there and they're getting a loan for $100,000, $150,000 truck that's brand new that the second they drop 500 miles on the truck, it breaks down.

And it's like, man, those loans are aggressive.

They want their money back fast.

So you're looking at $1,500 to $2,500 truck notes when really you should be budgeting yourself for paying for something in cash that has tons of miles in it already because they worked out the kinks.

You mentioned that in production, that the industry and networking are topics you wanted to really kind of like, you know, have a little bit of a dialogue about what does the Dredge network actually look like in a market like Chicago? And how would somebody build relationships that makes your operation truly work out?
