I actually think this one can be even stronger than the Steubenville version because Fort Wayne is a larger freight market and you'll likely be competing against several carriers for experienced owner operators.
I'd emphasize the business partnership and the "No Forced Dispatch" feature more prominently since those are meaningful differentiators.
