You know, so the freight broker, you know, there are other just focused on booking the load, getting everything accomplished and kind of, you know, getting them pious margin. They can they don't like you said, that shipment, there's still that the rest of the life life cycle to go, someone still needs to get paid. Carriers still need to be billed or shippers still need to be billed. And then the then so the accounting people are just trying to do that and you know, your back office support or just trying to get those invoices, those proofs of delivery, etcetera, etcetera. And so that's where that different the differentiation. Priorities are so, you know, that's something that's like, ohh, I need this paperwork. It was always like a signed paperwork, a signed proof of delivery or with some sort of paperwork that was always missing. And it's like, why can you not just take 30 seconds after you get it and just forward it on to just like [email protected]? Like there was always a group e-mail box that you could just forward it on to and it takes literally not even 30 seconds when you first get it and then it's not even a problem. But the fact that that's just not something that. Crosses your mind to say ohh well I could take 5 seconds and do it now, or I could wait a wait a week and then get yelled at and have arguably quite hostile relationship with a coworker. Yeah, for sure. And then on the other side, like having that document makes such a big difference, like being able to to see the POD to verify carrier charges so much better. It makes that, that part of the process tremendously easier. And then also just collecting from customers, right, and getting the invoice out to the customer so you can collect on it. These things are they're, they're major milestones on the accounting side, but kind of afterthoughts on the broker side and. And that's not really necessarily always bad. We just have to recognize that maybe the thing that's the end of the line for me is a super big deal somewhere else.
