They're diminishing almost all of the sticks and going totally automatic. I drive one. It's annoying but I got used to it. We've got a lot of fingerprint freight but it's $20 per stop, whether you deliver a shoe box or a full trailer; usually it's a few pieces of furniture per stop. If you've got a trip with 10 deliveries that's and extra $200 bucks on top of your mileage. As far as I know, we only fingerprint furniture which can be heavy and back breaking, yes.
