Page 5 of 5

Erik Gershwind: Yes, Ken, it’s — so I’ll take it. Obviously, the Baltimore situation is so new and so tragic, too early there to say. But obviously, we’re monitoring closely like events in the Middle East and some of the supply chain disruptions. I would say so far, impact is projected to be modest. Obviously, that could change. But to date, the impact modest and sort of counterbalancing now, we have a lot of focus on freight. You heard us talk about some of the performance improvements there, the network study, we see a lot of opportunity on freight. So it’s possible that the headwinds could grow at this point, it’s sort of modest in size, but we got a lot to offset it.

Operator: This concludes our question-and-answer session. I’d like to turn the conference back over to Ryan Mills for closing remarks.
