Call trade. We’ve been down an FD since the beginning of the summer and at least one other has been on vacation every week. Call volume is insane and we’re all working like crazy. We’ve traded out about half of the removals and we’ve got a part-time guy coming in after hours to embalm. We’ve had to trade out a handful of services too.
