And that's where I got Danny from Volal. And Danny, hey buddy. Thank you. Thanks for doing this. Now, Volvo is the one putting on the training for us today. By the time you're done, what Volvo hopes to accomplish and what I hope to accomplish is that you guys can hop inside one of these, be familiar and comfortable enough with the machine that you can safely get through to the end of the workday without hurting yourself, without hurting anybody else on the job site, and without hurting the piece of equipment.
