Q: What can someone do if they want to make sure that they're talking to someone at Premier in terms of ensuring that they are actually talking to someone who is, you know, one of your folks?
Craig Barth recommends contacting one of Premier's branches or its main 1-800 number to verify a rental offer. He says requests for Zelle or Venmo payment and offers without insurance checks are warning signs.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about why Schneider chose this new partnership with Norfolk Southern and why you're making the move now?
