In early 2018, we will continue to address the price improvement necessary to recover the driver investments already incurred in 2017, and those we expect in 2018. We anticipate the ELD implementation will have a measurable impact on driver capacity, and we will closely monitor actions being taken by carriers to recruit and retain drivers. The anticipated market conditions, our professional driver workforce, the Quest platform, and our broad portfolio of services, position us well for 2018.
