Thank you, Brad, and good afternoon to everyone on the call.

First, our thoughts are with those impacted by the recent hurricanes in the Southeast and Florida. Many of our employees were impacted, and I'm proud of how our company has responded to support them and the recovery and relief efforts in these communities. The rebuilding will take time and J.B. Hunt will continue to support these efforts.
