Sure.

Thank you.

I mean, we've done 1000 of intakes throughout the years.
0:54:42
It's known.
0:54:43
Usually, we average couple of 1000 every year, but there are 2 problems here.
0:54:48
One is even there are in some cases where drivers may get reactivated, but the reactivation will be for just a couple of days.
0:54:58
And then, you know, immediately, they're deactivated again for much longer time period.
0:55:03
So even in the so called reactivation, there's still tremendous insecurity.

Because you you just never know, you know, when the company is essentially gonna change its mind and put the deactivation back into order.
