Well let's here now about getting started. Onu, you mentioned your trucking business. I guess traditional trucking.

Like you had a truck driver who was working for you and you touched on logistics. We know that you guys are in a logistics business now. So was this a thesis driven project from the, from the get go or what?

H. How did, how did the business that you're in, the industry that you're in, what you're building today, how did that particular, how did that come to come to be?

Great question. And like I said, it took us two and a half years to find the right deal. And, and I would say when we first got started like we knew we wanted to stay in logistics and transportation in some capacity. We weren't as focused to start we're looking at warehousing, we're looking at asset based companies, we're looking at third parties.

So like it's, it was very, it was a very broad based search within that industry. But as time went on like we found it more beneficial to focus in a specific niche in a specific space which was non asset third parties. So like once we honed in on that, our success, we became a lot more successful in finding like the right opportunities versus just having more broad based search.

So to answer your question, it was a thesis within logistics and supply chain but we, we didn't really focus in on the non asset side until later on in our search. So you knew you were going to do logistics because you guys had this experience in logistics. Correct, correct.
