During the second quarter of 2024, our Fleet segment's growth was negatively impacted by a decline in activity within the United States Postal Service ("USPS"), partially offset by growth in e-commerce fulfillment and commercial fleet sales. The decline in USPS revenue is the result of USPS' transition to a new Fleet Management Information System, which has led to a temporary reduction in maintenance-related activity and parts usage. We continue to make progress in executing our revenue diversification strategy through the scaling of our new e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center ("Olive Branch facility"). The expansion of the Olive Branch facility has been instrumental in our ability to capture new customers and drive revenue growth within e-commerce fulfillment. Our commercial revenues were 64% of total Fleet segment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 47% for the same period in the prior year.
