We want our owners to feel like they have the opportunity to grow into their own business and bring their own truck and be a contractor with us. And that's a key part of our business. And it's how we staff our fleet. And If we do something like the pro act here, like California did, it would snuff out those opportunities and make the cost of labor that much higher. the cost of transporting goods that much higher. So it would have real negative effect. You wonder why folks want to do this. Again, it's a different vision. (47:44–47:52)
