Grace Sharkey - SiriusXM Radio Host - FreightWaves - Lansing, MI Dan Lewis - Founder and CEO - Convoy - Seattle, WA Could you please explain the problems stemming from the trucking and brokerage that have historically made it difficult to leverage network effects?  What is a hybrid carrier? What characteristics of this new model will promote economies of scale? What are those key ingredients?

This is also much easier to accomplish with smaller-volume shippers. Larger shippers need to know that the network is there in one provider in order to put all or most of their eggs in one basket.
