An attractive feature of a longer term contract is that it secures a stream of steady business for our Fr8App platform over the term of the contract. As a company, we have invested a significant amount of time and resources in developing the Fr8Private Fleet product, and it is very encouraging to receive a commitment of this size from such an important company in this segment.”
