Hello. My name is Alex Jarzdorfer. I'm currently interning at the Averitt Center in Kernersville. Kernersville where? North Carolina. My name is Dylan Dixon, and I am interning with the pricing department here in the corporate office in Cookeville, Tennessee. I am currently attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I am going for my bachelor's in business, and I hope to go for my MBA at some point in the future. So I am a finance major at Tennessee Tech University, and I graduate next spring. I've ridden along in the trucks. I've sent the drivers out and dispatched. I've tried to find free. That's one of the best things about this internship is there is no set rule. Every day is a little bit different. So we use different forms of data analytics and software to come up with optimal pricing models for our customers. Never assume anything. Nothing is given. Every nothing can be guaranteed here. I should be less afraid to ask stupid questions because it's probably better to ask a stupid question when I'm an intern and learning rather than when I'm handling major business decisions. I could see myself doing a lot of things here. I really have enjoyed dispatch being the first face that the drivers see when they come in and hopefully being the last one that they see on their way out. I really enjoy dispatch. Yeah. So due to how analytical the pricing department is and along alongside being a finance major, which is also very analytical, I could see myself being a pricing manager. But if that doesn't work out, I'm really into music. So the on tour logistics stuff sounds really cool to me. So I wouldn't mind that. I mean, everyone's gotta drink water at some point. Everyone's gotta stay hydrated. Why not? No. No. If they're outside of the water, maybe, yeah, I don't think they would, mind a little water. So you could call that being thirsty, I guess.
