Dark if you could give me a quick look back at how the company first began its tech journey and the significant milestones that you can really pinpoint that kind of mark this evolution. So the interesting part is when I came here I was talking one day to the whole team. I think all about it about what we were going to do and how we were going to make you know Warner great in terms of technology and afterwards one of one of the guys who've been here for 30 plus years calling me and I I really appreciate this because he he. Called me out, he said like you speak like we never heard of technology until you showed up. And it was, it was so true. I mean, I and I didn't mean to do that, but yeah, in essence, that's what I did. So he and I got together and we got together with a group of the the team who'd been here for, for, you know, some of them ten, 20-30 years. And we talked about what Werner had meant in terms of legacy to technology. And it's fascinating and it's so fascinating. We ended up, we remodeled the entire floor. We are remodeling the entire building when I got here. So the IT floor was remodeled. And on the end wall, we, we have a huge graphic that's probably 40 foot long that has technology, the history of technology at Werner over the years. So all of the things that Werner did that essentially nobody else was doing. So when you go back all the way back to the late 70s, they were the first company in America to print checks using the IBM 32 system. I think I'm, I think I got that right. They were, they were one of the first to implement a S 400. Like there's so many things. They were the very first company in the mid 1990s. You to do electronic logging they were part of the movement that got the government to approve electronic logging as a mechanism to to report hours of service and then they were part of the team that eventually made hours of service electronically. The only way to do it to get rid of paper books so and then a ton of other stuff in between like the wall literally has probably 50 or 60 points along that show where Werner we're ahead of the curve in terms of technology so a long legacy. I was so glad that guy called me out on it and he was 100% right to do it and and. So Mike and I, and and I'll give Mike Lewis as the guy who called me out and you know, absolutely the right thing It was, it was so cool to do that and then sit down and understand where Werner had come from. So Werner has a long, long history of, of being innovative in the technology space, of being a leading, a leading edge in that technology space. So it was kind of cool to do that.

Daragh Mahon What an outstanding display of leadership - when the CIO of a public company not only acknowledges being "called out" by a team member for lacking historical context but also embraces it as a learning opportunity and shares it openly. True leaders lead by example!
