What is the expected timeline for the transition to electric trucks on the TL side, and what are the expected applications and market segments for electric trucks? 
o me talk. You've probably heard enough, but I believe it's going to market segment driven as to what technologies went up. Obviously in Class 6, 7, we get to the end of this decade, but I'm sure we will be 50% or more.
Electric, it's not going to be that way on heavy. We're going see that on the TL side. You'll get it in certain applications and certain market segments, but that's not going to, I believe, work for just pure TL over the road, at least not now. It could be in 20 years or so, but I don't think we're there with that, but you've got folks that -- I know hydrogen is something we will go "Oh yeah" There's a lot of things going on, and that's what going to create some confusion as things transition over the next decade, driven by -- we all have to deal with ESG and it's real, the environmental piece, but I think as I said, technologies will be driven just by market segments, we'll adapt to whatever makes sense.
Diesel was not -- diesel will be phased out over time, it needs to be, but it's not going away right now, OK? We're going to be multi-pronged and working with whatever technologies out there, but always trying to be on the leading, not bleeding edge.
