Absolutely. So the hours of service rule that was finalized in december of 2011, and as you note, went into full effect last july, is identified with rigorous analysis to project an impact of saving up to 19 lives per year, or at least 19 lives per year, and avoiding at least 500 injury crashes, and then significantly more crashes and overall net benefit to the nation. There was also clearly in the analysis a recognition of the Economic Impact on industry. A recognition and an an analysis that identified about 500 million Economic Impact, cost to injury industry. Some portion as a cost or Law Enforcement partners across the country. So your question is to the point of do we think that this happened yet, what do we think has happened yet.
