Speaker Change #106: Hey, Joe horizontal some of them are Muslim Wow. That's it it's just that she wasn't so Sharon can we see that likely will go down.
Sam: Encouraging shippers to post price orders has increased truckers within us to accept orders and enhancing matching efficiency. This was particularly true for professional shippers whose human ways improved significantly. Notably the proportion of price orders posting reached 60% in the quarter. We also continue to refining our premium cargo bidding feature to strengthen truckers' perception of high-value orders. This product is designed to reward truckers with access to better orders after completing an average or below average order which motivates them to stay active and increase their human frequency on the platform.
Brian Gong: First of all, I'd like to ask you a question. I'd like to ask you a question. What do you think of the current situation in the world? Is it possible to see the current situation in the world? And what is the main advantage of the current situation in the world? Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Simon: I would like to ask you a question. How was the trucker group overall activity in the same quarter? Has the continuous increase in commission rate negatively affected truckers' activity level? And what are our case strategies and priorities for trucker operation currently? Thank you. Thank you, Brian. Our average monthly active member of truckers responding to others remained about 3 million in the second quarter, with quarterly growth of more than 8%. Ensuring an adequate carrier capacity supply. The number of days that truckers search for freight on a platform and the other fulfillment frequency per active trucker also knows in this moment.
Speaker Change #110: Uh huh.
Speaker Change #112: So homeless Crocker.
All activities in the same quarter, Hasbro continually increasing commission a week negatively affecting the truckers activity level.
Speaker Change #112: And our.
Crocker: Our key strategies and the priorities for Crocker operation currently thank you.

Given the industry trend toward LTL and our unique user advantage in this segment, we expect substantial future goals in the LTL business. Looking ahead to the coming third quarter, despite the ongoing impact of extreme weather and the macro environment, we remain confident that increasing online penetration driven by user goals and product enhancement will enable us to achieve other volume growth of over 20% for the full year. Thank you. Thank you, Sam.
Jiulu Li: 那这里我也简单翻译一下。 您可以提供更新您的会员服务,您在二季度看到的会员人数是什么样的趋势?
Crocker: Thank you, Brian our average monthly active member of truckers responding to others.

About 3 million in the second quarter with quarterly growth of more than 8%, ensuring an adequate carrier capacity supply the number of days that truckers search for freight on our platform and the order fulfillment frequency proactive truck are all singles.
Crocker: In this quarter within our existing cheered truck trucker rating system, we continue to deepen truckers relying less on our platform by refining.
Simon: Within our existing, tiered trucker rating system, we continue to deepen truckers relying on our platform by refining product features across various scenarios. As we mentioned earlier, one of our key projects in the second quarter was the rollout of our premium cargo bidding function. Previously, high-quality freight authors on our platform were often fulfilled before many truckers had the chance to bid, leading to a perception that high-quality freight sources were in short supply. This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and for human base. With the launch of the premium cargo bidding, our platform now tax and hold high-quality freight authors to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders.
Crocker: <unk> features across various scenarios as we mentioned earlier one one of our key projects in the second quarter was to rollout.
Jiulu Li: 尽管获主月活增速增长,但获主会员费的收入是增长的一年一年。 这些差异主要的原因是什么呢?
Eddy Wang: The next question comes from Eddie Wong with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. [inaudible] Hello, Mr. Zhang. Thank you, Eddy. The second quarter's strong user growth momentum was mainly driven by our effective user acquisition strategies. Our ongoing investment in online channels, branding campaigns, and offline truck stickers advertising brought a steady stream of high quality new users to our platform. Additionally seasonal factors played in role as some shipments delayed during the Chinese New Year holiday were shipped during the busy shipping season Q2, resulting in higher shipping demand.
Simon Tai: For our product and operational strategies, this quarter we focused on increasing the, proportion of priced orders from shippers and optimizing premium cargo bidding for truckers. Encouraging shippers to post price orders has increased truckers' willingness to accept, orders, enhancing matching efficiency. This was particularly true for professional shippers whose fulfillment rates improved, significantly. Notably, the proportion of priced orders posting reached 60% in the quarter. We also continue refining our premium cargo bidding feature to strengthen truckers' perception, of high-value orders.
Crocker: Of our premium cargo bidding function previously high quality freight others. Although platform. We're often for few before many truckers and had the chance to bid leading to a perception that he had that high quality freight sources or are in short supply.
Crocker: This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and fulfillment rates with the luck with the launch of the premium cargo bidding our platform now tax and hold high quality freight others to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders by extending these others exposure time, we built and reinforced it.
Jiulu Li: 谢谢。 Thank you, Jiulu.

Simon Tai: We're pleased with our year-to-date shipper member growth rate.
Simon Tai: As of June, the number of shipper members reached 860, compared with 780,000 a year ago.
Simon Tai: Paying user growth was mostly driven by an increase in the number of new users and enhanced membership operations, that have boosted conversions.
Simon Tai: In Q2, the increase in new paying shipper members came primarily from direct shippers. To support this trend, we strategically lowered the payment barrier for new users with occasional free trial membership offers as well as the RMB 288 mini-membership package.
Simon Tai: Meanwhile, we also increased benefits for existing shipper members. Benefits for our member users include faster truck sourcing, access to top-rated truckers and free freight insurance, all of which help convert non-member users to members and improve existing members' repurchase rates. Currently, the repurchase rate for shipper members remains above 80 percent, demonstrating existing members' high reliance and stickiness on our platform.
Simon Tai: As we continue to improve our freight listing products and refine our operational strategies, we're confident that we will consistently attract more payment members and further increase user retention.
Simon: By extending these others' exposure time, we built and reinforced the perception that our platform has plenty of good freight authors. This also creates a fairer, other bidding environment, which increases trucker users' thickness and improve overall for human base. In terms of optimizing service scenarios, we have capitalized on the angle going trend toward LTL shipping and created a dedicated carpool LTL carpool zone to improve trucker efficiency in consolidating the loads. In addition to how truckers report empty spaces, we launched our carpool assistant, which enables more accurate identification of carpooling needs and increases its success rate. We're confident with effective and we find operational strategies in place to ensure an overall positive experience for trucker users on the platform and help them increase their income.
Crocker: Perception that all the that our platform has plenty of good for others.
Simon Tai: Thank you.
Crocker: This also creates a fair oh, they're bidding environment in which he increases trucker user stickiness and improve overall fulfillment rates.

Eddy Wang: From a user's structure perspective, the proportion of direct shipping continues to rise. In Q2, monthly active direct shipping increased by more than 38 percent year of the year, and direct shipping can contribute approximately 48% of the total for few others. Similar to previous closings, the majority of the new shipping users are small to medium size different owners. We have a higher likelihood of placing and fulfilling others. They also prioritize timely response and quality transportation services further boosting for human race.

Brian Gong: 谢谢。 Thank you, Brian.
Speaker Change #119: Thank you Charlie.
Eddy Wang: On the other hand direct shipping naturally tend to have a lower order frequency than professional shippers. To increase new direct shippers order frequency, we continue to enhance the trucker credit rating system to improve overall service quality and standards. Leveraging our advantages in pricing, matching efficiency, and trucker management capabilities, we aim to provide better service than those offline brokers that these users previously relied on. Also, we are strengthening our user coverage with a more comprehensive area of services, including the less-and-truck load, short haul, and PMF systems to cater a wider range of shipping needs for small to medium-sized shippers and increase usage frequency.
Simon: The interested shipments business grew rapidly in the second quarter, with fulfilled orders accounting for more than 6% of total other volume. This is also a new record hack. We see that our pricing strategy optimization was one of the main drivers of this rapid order growth, volume growth, by integrating algorithm and additional, this is logic we created and more comprehensive and accurate pricing model. Effective control of the price premium has entitled both shippers and truckers to enjoy more balanced freight prices, which in turn has stimulated more order matching and for human compost, and second, the influx of new users also has also led to an increasing trusted shipment orders, which has a lower barrier to entry for posting and a more hands-on customer service team.
Simon Tai: Our average monthly active member of Truckers responding to orders, remained about 3 million in the second quarter, with quarterly growth of more than 8%, ensuring an adequate carrier capacity supply.
Eddy Wang: So what were the main drivers behind this growth, and is the user structure still trending, towards the direct shippers?
Speaker Change #120: The entrust their shipment business grew rapidly in the second quarter with fulfilled orders accounting for more than 6% of total other volume. This was also a new record high.
Speaker Change #121: We see that our pricing strategy optimization was one of the main drivers of this rapid articles.

Speaker Change #122: And the influx of new users.
Speaker Change #122: Also it has also led to an increasing trusted shipment orders, which has a lower barrier to entry for posting in a more hands on customer service team.
M.C.O.: Looking ahead, we are confident there's significant potential to further elevate our fulfillment rate through ongoing product and service upgrades as well as continued refinement to our freight matching services infrastructure.
Sam: Looking ahead, as we extend as our brand, exposure and awareness continue to rise, we expect a growing number of small to medium-sized business owners to join our platform driving sustained auto-borrowing growth in the rest of the years.
Simon: These features are well suited to new shippers' needs, making in trusted shippers their preferred choice.
Speaker Change #122: These features features are well suited to new shippers needs, making entrusted shipments their preferred choice.
Simon: Operationally, we are currently focusing on our tiered trucker rating system to ensure the quality of trusted shipment transportation. This includes functions like delayed order displays, which shows entrusted shipment orders to quality trucker source and then to median tier truckers after a delay, ensuring that the platform has sufficient transportation capacity. In addition, those risky truckers, such as those who have received serious complaints, are excluded from viewing trusted shipment orders. As we move through the year, we expect ongoing improvement in product optimization, pricing strategy, and user experience, among other aspects, all of which contribute to the rapid growth of order for human India and trusted shipment business.
Simon Tai: The number of days that truckers search for freight on our platform and the order fulfillment frequency per active trucker also rose in this quarter. Within our existing tiered trucker rating system, we continue to deepen truckers' reliance on our platform by refining product features across various scenarios.
Speaker Change #122: Operationally, we are currently focusing on our tiered truck or rating system to ensure the quality of and trusted shipment tranche of transportation. This includes functions like delayed or the displays with shows and trusted shipment orders to quality truckers sourced and then to medium tier truckers after it.
Simon Tai: As we mentioned earlier, one of our key projects in the second quarter was to roll out of our premium cargo bidding function. Previously, high-quality freight orders on our platform were often perfumed before many truckers had the chance to bid, leading to a perception that high-quality freight sources were in short supply. This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and perfuming rates. With the launch of the premium cargo bidding, our platform now tags and holds high-quality freight orders to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders.
Simon Tai: By extending these orders' exposure time, we build and reinforce the perception that our platform has plenty of good freight orders. And this also creates a fair order bidding environment, which increases trucker user stickiness and improves overall fulfillment rate.
Julie Lee: Our next question comes from Julie Lee with CICC. Please go ahead. You may be muted. Julie Lee with CICC. Please go ahead. Thank you for your question. I have a question for you.
Simon Tai: In terms of optimizing service scenarios, we have capitalized on the ongoing trend toward LTL shipping and created a dedicated LTL carpool zone to improve trucker efficiency in consolidating load. In addition to help truckers report empty spaces, we launched our Carpool Assistant, which enables more accurate identification of carpooling needs and increased.., successfully.
Speaker Change #122: Ensuring that the platform has sufficient transportation capacity. In addition, those risky truckers such as those who have received serious complaints are excluded from beauty and trusted chip and the others.

Jay Sole: Well I'll just make one each from Jay sole with its human teachers.
Charlie Chen: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask this question.
Speaker Change #126: Keytruda on holiday yet.
Charlie Chen: I only have one question here, which is about Utrecht business.

Jiulu Li: Let's take a look at Hui Yuan's progress. What can you see in your member users in the second corner? Thank you, Jiulu. We are pleased with our year-to-date Shipper Member Goal Freight. The number of Shipper Members reached 860,000 compared with 780,000 a year ago. Paying user growth was mostly driven by an increase in the number of new users and enhanced membership operations that have boosted conversions. In Q2, the increase in new paying Shipper Members came primarily from direct Shippers.
Speaker Change #127: No it wasn't.
Speaker Change #127: Backlog that you choose to ship.

Speaker Change #127: James do you mean like a woman.
Speaker Change #127: Yeah.
Charlie Chen: Let me translate it first.
Speaker Change #129: Hi, Thanks management for taking my question. My question is about MTO, that's been truckload piece in that Okay management comment about the order volume well in the second quarter and the.
Charlie Chen: Thanks management for taking my question.
Charlie Chen: I have only one question regarding the interest rate shipment.
Simon Tai: From a user structure perspective, the proportion of direct shippers continued to rise. In Q2, monthly active direct shippers increased by more than 38% year-over-year, and direct, shippers contributed approximately 48% of the total fulfilled orders.
Simon Tai: Similar to previous quarters, the majority of the new shipper users are small to medium-sized, business owners, who have a higher likelihood of placing and fulfilling orders. They also prioritize timely response and quality transportation services, further boosting, fulfillment rates.
Simon Tai: On the other hand, direct shippers naturally tend to have a lower order frequency than, professional shippers.
Simon Tai: To increase new direct shippers' order frequency, we continue to enhance the trucker credit, rating system to improve overall service quality and standards. Leveraging our advantages in pricing, matching efficiency, and trucker management capabilities, we aim to provide better service than those offline brokers that these users previously relied on.
Simon Tai: And also, we are strengthening our user coverage with a more comprehensive area of services, including the less-than-truckload, short-haul, and TMS systems to cater a wider range of shipping needs for small to medium-sized shippers and increase usage frequency.
Simon Tai: And looking ahead, as our brand exposure and awareness continue to rise, we expect a growing, number of small to medium-sized business owners to join our platform, driving sustained auto bottling growth in the rest of the year.
Speaker Change #127: The management.
M.C.O.: Turning to our user base, we continue to make strong progress with our shipper users in the second quarter as evidenced by our average shipper MAUs reaching 2.65 million, representing an increase of 32.8% year over year, and 23.7% quarter over quarter.

Charlie Chen: How did the interest rate shipment business progress in the second quarter of this year? And what is the overall operational strategy for this transaction type in the second half of this year?
Operator: Our next question comes from Julie Lee with CICC.
Speaker Change #131: Thank you Thomas the alcohol business alone grew about 47% year over year in the second quarter again outpacing the food truckload. The other contribution of a L. P. L continue to rise from the previous quarter, reaching approximately 28% in the quarter.
Simon: The LTL business alone grew about 47% year over year in the second quarter, again outpacing the food truck load. The other contribution of LTL continue to rise from the previous quarter, reaching approximately 28% in a quarter. The relative outperformance of LTL in recent quarters was attributable to several main factors. The general industry shift toward LTL and the increased online penetration rate resulting from our platforms in host product features. First, the reason adjustments in the supply chain structure have let large manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, all the parts and equipment to establish regional warehouses, ultimately boosting shipping frequency and a gradual increase in LPL demand.
Operator: Please go ahead.
Operator: You may be muted.
Charlie Chen: Thank you.

Operator: Please go ahead.
Julie Lee: Hi.
Simon Tai: Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker Change #132: The relative outperformance of LPL in recent quarters was attributable to several main factors the general industry shift towards L. P. L. A and the increased online penetration rates, resulting from our all platforms in house product features.
Julie Lee: Okay.
Simon Tai: The entrusted shipment business grew rapidly in the second quarter with fulfilled orders accounting for more than 6% of total order volume. This is also a new record high. We see that our pricing strategy optimization was one of the main drivers of this rapid volume growth. By integrating algorithm and additional business logic, we created a more comprehensive and accurate pricing model. Effective control of the price premium has entitled both shippers and truckers to enjoy more balanced freight prices, which in turn has stimulated more order matching and fulfillment on both ends.
Julie Lee: Can you hear me?
Simon Tai: Second, the influx of new users, also has also led to an increase in trusted shipment orders which has a lower barrier to entry for posting and a more hands-on customer service team.
Julie Lee: 大家好,我主要是想问一下,我们关于会员服务的进展, 我们二季度看到的会员人数大概是一个什么样的趋势,因为相较于快速增长的获主月活,获主会员费的收入,我们看这块的增速会相对更慢一些,那这个差异主要是什么呢?
Speaker Change #133: First the reason adjustments in the supply chain structure have leapt large manufacturers inspecting sectors, such as automotive other parts in.
Simon Tai: These features are well suited to new shippers' needs, making entrusted shipments their preferred choice.
Julie Lee: 那这里我也简单翻译一下, 那这里我也简单翻译一下,在二季度看到的会员服务人数大概是一个什么样的趋势,因为相较于快速增长的获主月活,获主会员费的收入,我们看这块的增速会相对更慢一些,那这个差异主要是什么呢?
Simon Tai: Operationally, we are currently focusing on our tiered trucker rating system to ensure the quality of entrusted shipment transportation.

Simon Tai: As we move through the year, we expect ongoing improvement in product optimization, pricing strategy and user experience among other aspects, all of which contribute to the rapid growth of order fulfillment in the entrusted shipment business.
M.C.O.: This quarter's rapid shipper user gain was again attributed to growth among our 688 members shippers and non-members shippers who are mostly low and medium frequency direct shippers.
Operator: Our next question comes from Thomas Chong with Jeffreys.
Julie Lee: 好的,谢谢,我简单翻译一下。 是否看到抽佣率的提升有影响到司机运营的主要策略和重点是什么?
Thomas Chong: Please go ahead.
Simon Tai: Thank you, Brian.
Thomas Chong: Good evening.
Thomas Chong: Thank you for accepting my question.
M.C.O.: As we enter the second quarter, we continue to ramp up our new shipper acquisition efforts, leverage in multiple online channels to identify and convert high quality new shippers.
Jiulu Li: To support this trend, we strategically lowered the payment barrier for new users with occasional free trial membership offers as well as the R&B 288 mini membership package. Meanwhile, we also increased benefits for existing Shipper Members, benefits for our member users include faster truck sourcing, access to top rated truckers and free freight insurance, all of which help convert non-member users to members and improve existing members' repurchase rate. Currently, the repurchase rate for Shipper Members remains above 80%, demonstrating existing members' high reliance and stickiness on our platform. As we continue to improve our freight listening products and refine our operational strategies, we're confident that we will consistently attract more paying members and further increase user retention.
Speaker Change #133: And equipment two established a regional warehouses, ultimately boosting shipping frequency and a gradual increase in L. P. L demand.
Thomas Chong: Congratulations on your great performance.
Simon Tai: Our average monthly active member of truckers responding to orders remained about 3 million, in the second quarter, with quarterly growth of more than 8 percent, ensuring an adequate carrier capacity supply. The number of days that truckers search for freight on our platform and the order fulfillment, frequency per active trucker also rose in this quarter.
Simon Tai: In our existing tiered truck rating system, we continue to deepen truckers' reliance, on our platform by refining product features across various scenarios.
Simon: Also, in response to economic conditions, small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly using large-sized LPL shipping to reduce inventory and improve turnover efficiency. We find that most of our LPL shippers also require large-ticket LPL shipping, meaning there is a significant overlap between these user groups, which minimizes our platform's user acquisition costs. Second, the major LPL players in the market are currently offline, dedicated route operators, which would be very low on our penetration. On the shipper's side, we have already established a massive direct shipper user base, giving us an inherent advantage in user volume. As enterprise users are typically price sensitive, they tend to save your just-save costs wherever possible, and our platform's intermediate-free model effectively helps shippers reduce cost.
Thomas Chong: My question is about the dry-clearing list business.
Simon Tai: As we mentioned earlier, one of our key projects in the second quarter was the rollout of our, premium cargo bidding function. Previously, high-quality freight orders on our platform were often fulfilled before many, truckers had the chance to bid, leading to a perception that high-quality freight sources were in short supply. This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and perfuming rates. With the launch of the premium cargo bidding, our platform now tags and holds high-quality, freight orders to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders.
Speaker Change #133: Also in response to economic conditions small and medium sized enterprises are increasingly using a large sized L. P O shipping to reduce inventory and improve turnover efficiencies. We find that most of our F. P. L. Shippers also require large ticket LPL shipping.
Thomas Chong: Can you share with us the growth rate for the second quarter?
Simon Tai: By extending these orders' exposure time, we build and reinforce the perception that, our platform has plenty of good freight orders. This also creates a fair order bidding environment, which increases trucker user stickiness and, improves overall perfuming rates.
Thomas Chong: And if you look at the trend of the dry-clearing list industry, is it going to continue in the second quarter?
M.C.O.: In particular, we focused on the onboarding and retention of new users, making every effort to provide an exception of human experience during their first three trials.
Speaker: Thank you.
Simon Tai: In terms of optimizing service scenarios, we have capitalized on the ongoing trend toward, LTL shipping and created a dedicated LTL carpool zone to improve trucker efficiency in consolidating loads. In addition to help truckers report empty spaces, we launched our carpool assistant, which enables more accurate identification of carpooling needs and increases its success rate.
Simon Tai: We're confident with effective and refined operational strategies in place we can ensure, an overall positive experience for trucker users on the platform and help them increase their income.
Speaker Change #133: Meaning there is a significant overlap between these user groups, which minimizes our platform's user acquisition costs.
M.C.O.: We expect ongoing growth in our shipper base thanks to this effective strategy. Furthermore, we achieved consistently robust shipper activity with our shipper member 12-month rolling retention rate, remaining about 80% in the second quarter.
Speaker Change #133: The major L. P. All players in the market are currently offline dedicated route operators, which with very low online penetration on.
Thomas Chong: And what is our position in this sector in the future?
Simon Tai: Thank you.
Speaker Change #133: The shipper side, we have already established a massive direction per user base, giving us.
Thomas Chong: Thanks, management, for taking my question.
Operator: Our next question comes from Charlie Chen with China Renaissance.
Speaker Change #133: Inheritance.
Speaker Change #133: Vantage in user volume as enterprise users are typically price sensitive they tend to save logistics costs wherever possible and our platforms intermediate free model effectively helps shippers reduce cost.
Operator: Please go ahead.
Charlie Chen: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask this question.
Brian Gong: Our next question comes from Brian Gong with City. Please go ahead. Thank you, Brian. Our average monthly active member of truckers responding to others remained about 3 million in the second quarter, with quarterly growth of more than 8%. Ensuring and adequate carrier capacity supply. The number of days that truckers search for freight on a platform and the other fulfillment frequency per active trucker also knows in this segment. Within our existing, tiered trucker rating system, we continue to deepen truckers' reliance on our platform by refining product features across various scenarios.
Simon: This quarter, we launched a carpooling zone for our LPL business and housing shippers' awareness of low-cost carpooling and boosting their cargo consolidation efficiency by precisely identifying their carpooling needs. This initiative improves truckers' income levels and lead to an increase in online penetration rate for our platforms, large-sized LPL business. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on enhancing carpooling and matching efficiency, user experience, and penetration rates in the LPL business to address increasing user demand.
Thomas Chong: My question is about LTL, less than truckload business.
Charlie Chen: I have a question about LTL shipping.

Simon Tai: The LTL business alone grew about 47% year-over-year in the second quarter, again outpacing the full truck load. The order contribution of LTL continued to rise from the previous quarter, reaching approximately 28% in the quarter.
Simon Tai: The relative outperformance of LTL in recent quarters was attributable to several main factors, the general industry shift toward LTL and the increased online penetration rate resulting from our platform's enhanced product features.
Simon Tai: First, the recent adjustments in the supply chain structure have led large manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, auto parts, and equipment to establish regional warehouses, ultimately boosting shipping frequency and a gradual increase in LTL demand.
Simon Tai: Also, in response to economic conditions, small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly using large-sized LKL shipping to reduce inventory and improve turnover efficiency.
Simon Tai: We find that most of our FTL shippers also require large-ticket LTL shipping, meaning there's a significant overlap between these user groups, which minimizes our platform's user acquisition costs.
Simon Tai: Second, the major LPL players in the market are currently offline dedicated route operators with very low online penetration.

Previously high-quality, freight others on our platform were often fulfilled before many truckers had the chance to bid into a perception that high-quality freight sources were in short supply. This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and for human base. With the launch of the premium cargo bidding, our platform now tax and hold high-quality freight others to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders.
Operator: I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any additional or closing, comments.
Operator: Thank you once again for joining us today.
M.C.O.: Our approach to high-quality order bidding also enabled us to steer truckers toward median quality orders, giving us greater control over the distribution of order posting.
Brian Gong: By extending these others exposure time, we build and reinforce the perception that our platform has plenty of good freight others. This also creates a fair other bidding environment, which increases trucker users' thickness and improves overall for human base.
Speaker: In terms of optimizing service scenarios, we have capitalized on the angle going trend toward LTR shipping and created a dedicated carpool LTR carpool zone to improve trucker efficiency in consolidating the loads. In addition to how truckers report empty spaces, we launched our carpool assistant, which enables more accurate identification of carpooling needs and increase its success rate. We're confident with effective and refined operational strategies in place, we can ensure an overall positive experience for trucker users on the platform and help them increase their income.
Speaker: Thank you.

How did the interested shipment business progress in the second quarter of this year and what is the overall operational strategy for this transaction type in the second half of this year? Thank you. Thank you, Charlie. The interested shipment business grew rapidly in the second quarter with fulfilled orders accounting for more than 6% of total other volume.

As we move through the year, we expect ongoing improvement in product optimization, pricing strategy, and user experience among other aspects, all of which contribute to the rapid growth of order for human India and trusted shipment business. Thank you.
Thomas Chong: Our next question comes from Thomas Chong with Jeffries. Please go ahead. Thanks, management for taking my question.
Speaker: My question is about LTL, less than truckload business. Can management comments about the order volume growth in the second quarter? And the management industry trend from FTL to LTL continue in the second quarter and how do we position in the sector going forward? Thank you. Thank you, Thomas. The LTL business alone grew about 47% year over year in second quarter, again outpacing the food truckload. The other contribution of LTL continue to rise from the previous quarter reaching approximately 28% in a quarter.
M.C.O.: Turning to our transaction service in a second quarter, revenues from transaction service surged by 63.4% year-to-year to R&B 952 million, mainly driven by three factors. The solid expansion in the number of few orders, the increased, monetized order penetration ratio and the elevated monetization rate.
Speaker: The relative outperformance of LTL in recent quarters was attributable to several main factors. The general industry shift toward LTL and the increased online penetration rate resulting from our platforms in host product features. First, the reason adjustments in the supply chain structure have led large manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, all the parts, and equipment to establish regional warehouses ultimately boosting shipping frequency and a gradual increase in LPL demand. Also in response to economic conditions, small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly using large-sized LPL shipping to reduce inventory and improve turnover efficiency.
M.C.O.: Truckers growing reliance on a platform coupled with the development of trucker payment habits at the rapid expansion of direct shippers has set the stage for us to accelerate the realization of our commission model's potential.
M.C.O.: Our second quarter revenues from transaction service covered 81.1% of all fulfilled orders and increased of approximately 14%age points this year.
M.C.O.: A point a year-over-year from 67.1% order coverage in a priority period.
M.C.O.: In a second quarter, our monetization amount per order, including transaction commission and trucker membership fee, increased to R&B 23.9 from R&B 21.6 a year ago.
Speaker: We find that most of our LPL shippers also require large-ticket LPL shipping, meaning there's a significant overlap between these user groups, which minimizes our platform's user acquisition costs. Second, the major LPL players in the market are currently offline dedicated route operators, which would very low on our penetration. On the shippers side, we have already established a massive direct shipper user base, giving us an inherent advantage in user volume. As enterprise users are typically price sensitive, they tend to save logistic costs wherever possible, and our platform's intermediate free model effectively helps shippers reduce costs.
Speaker: This quarter, we launched a carpooling zone for our LPL business and housing shippers awareness of low-cost carpooling and boosting their cargo consolidation efficiency by precisely identifying their carpooling needs. This initiative improves trucker's income levels and led to an increase in online penetration rate of our platform's large-sized LPL business. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on enhancing carpooling and matching efficiency user experience and penetration rates in the LPL business to address increased user demand. We also believe that the LPL business will continue to play an increasingly important role in our platform's future business development.
Mao Mao: Thank you. And that concludes the question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any additional or closing comments.

Our contact information for AI in both China and the US can be found in increased press release. Have a good day. The conference is now concluded.
M.C.O.: Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we plan to steadily enhance both monetization coverage and monetization rate.
M.C.O.: Before going over our financial results, I'd like to provide a brief update on our share repurchase program. Since we announced our one-year share repurchase program, totaling US dollar 300 million on March 13, 2024, we have repurchased approximately 3.5 million ADS shares, totaling approximately US dollar 30.7 million.
M.C.O.: Moving on to our 2024 second quarter financial result, our total net revenues in second quarter or R&B 2.764.3 million are presenting a 34.1% increase year-over-year. Primarily attributable to an increase in revenues from freight matching services.

M.C.O.: Primarily due to a significant increase in transaction service, and the continued growth in freight brokerage business. Revenues from freight brokerage service in a second quarter were R&B 1.164.8 million, up 22.7% year-over-year.
M.C.O.: Primarily attributable to an increase in transaction volume due to the continued growth in user demand. RavNews from the Freed Listing Service in the second quarter were RMB212.1 million, up 5.6% year-over-year, primarily due to a growing number of paying members.
M.C.O.: RavNews from the transaction service in the second quarter were RMB951.9 million, up 63.4% year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in order volume, penetration rate, and the per-order transaction service.
Operator: Thank you for attending today's presentation.
M.C.O.: RavNews from battery added services in the second quarter were RMB435.6 million, up 32% year-over-year, this increase was due to the growing demand from truckers and shippers for credit solutions and other battery added services.
M.C.O.: Second quarter cost of revenues was RMB1.300 and 12.1 million, compared with RMB975.3 million in the prior year period.
Operator: You may now disconnect.
M.C.O.: The increase was primarily due to an increase in BAT related tax surcharges and other tax causes, net off the grunts from government authorities. These tax-related causes, net off government grunts, totaled RMB1.176.3 million, representing an increase of 33.8% from RMB879.3 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the expansion of transaction activities evolving our freight boat bridge service.
M.C.O.: I'll say also marketing expenses in the second quarter were RMB372.3 million, compared with RMB281.8 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing expenses for user acquisitions as well as higher salary and benefit expenses.
M.C.O.: General and administrative expenses in the second quarter were RMB219.2 million, compared with RMB201.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses.
M.C.O.: RMB expenses in the second quarter were RMB232.1 million compared with RMB223.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expenses as well as increased investment in technology infrastructure.
M.C.O.: The income from operations in the second quarter was RMB565.4 million compared with RMB333.8 million in the same period of 2023.
M.C.O.: Net income in the second quarter was RMB840.5 million an increase of 38% from RMB600 and RMB9 million in the same period of 2023.
M.C.O.: On the non-gap measures, our adjusted operating income in the second quarter was RMB699 million an increase of 55.1% from RMB450.7 million in the same period of 2023.
M.C.O.: Our adjusted net income in the second quarter was RMB970.9 million an increase of 34.3% from RMB722.7 million in the same period of 2023.
M.C.O.: The basic and diluted net income per ADS were on the 0.79 in the second quarter, compared with on the 0.57 in the same period of 2023, Nong Gap adjusted basic net income per ADS was on the 0.92 in the second quarter, compared with on the 0.68 in the same period of 2023, Nong Gap adjusted diluted net income per ADS was on the 0.91 in the second quarter, compared with on the 0.68 in the same period of 2023, F of June 30, 2024, the company had cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash, shortened investments, long-term time deposits and wealth management products, with materials, materials over one year of R&B 26.8 billion in total, compared with R&B 27.6 billion as of December 31, 2023.
M.C.O.: For our third quarter, 2020, 24 business outlook, we expect our total revenues to be between R&B, we expect our total revenues to be between R&B 2.78 billion and R&B 2.82 billion, representing a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 21.9% to 24.6%. This forecast reflects the company's current and preliminary review of the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy as of the date year-off.
M.C.O.: That concludes our prepared remarks.
M.C.O.: We would now like to open a call to Q&A.
Operator: Operator, please go ahead.
Operator: We will now begin the question and answer session.
Operator: To ask a question, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad.
Operator: If you are using a speaker phone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys.
Operator: If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two.
Operator: For the benefit of all participants on today's call, if you wish to ask your question to management in Chinese, please immediately repeat your question in English.
Operator: At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster.
Ronald Cume: Our first question comes from Ronald Cume with Goldman Sachs.
Ronald Cume: Please go ahead.
Operator: But if you are using a speaker phone, you will still have some changes.
Operator: If you want to know more about the development factors, and if you want to know more about the development factors, please let us know in the comments.
Eddy Wong: Thank you, management. We see that the fulfilled order grew around 22% in the second quarter, still much faster than overall freight market, but growth rate has slowed versus the first quarter.
Eddy Wong: So what were the factors behind drivers and based on the trends so far, can you share how do you view all the volume growth into the third quarter and for the full year?
Eddy Wong: Thank you.
M.C.O.: Thank you, Ronald.
M.C.O.: Our robust order volume growth in Q2 was primarily driven by three main factors, our expanding shipper user base, product and operational strategy and optimization that drove considerable improvements in user activities and incremental volume from new business.
M.C.O.: This was partially offset a little bit by the overall amount of weakness in the role of freight since Q2 and extreme weather conditions in May and June, particularly the prolonged heavy rains in eastern and southern part of China as well as flooding in the south and drought in the north.
M.C.O.: From a user-based perspective, we continue to efficiently acquire users in the second quarter. Our average number of monthly active shippers increased by 32.8% year-over-year to 2.6-5 million, extending the first quarter's accelerated growth trajectory.
M.C.O.: Our operations team concentrated on all the health support and new shippers which improved the user engagement from registration to their first shipment, posting and for refuelment.
M.C.O.: For our product and operational strategies, this quarter we focused on increasing the proportion of price orders from shippers and optimizing premium cargo bidding for melting hot for truckers. Encouraging shippers to post price orders has increased truckers within us to accept orders and enhancing matching efficiency.
M.C.O.: This was particularly true for professional shippers whose human ways improved significantly.
M.C.O.: Notably the proportion of price orders posting reached 60% in the quarter.
M.C.O.: We also continue to refining our premium cargo bidding feature to strengthen truckers' perception of high-value orders. This product is designed to reward truckers with access to better orders after completing an average or below average order which motivates them to stay active and increase their human frequency on the platform.
M.C.O.: The new business, the bulk, less in truck load and short-haul segments continue to grow rapidly and contribute to our business volume.
M.C.O.: Given the industry trend toward LTL and our unique user advantage in this segment, we expect substantial future goals in the LTL business.
M.C.O.: Looking ahead to the coming third quarter, despite the ongoing impact of extreme weather and the macro environment, we remain confident that increasing online penetration driven by user goals and product enhancement will enable us to achieve other volume growth of over 20% for the full year.
M.C.O.: Thank you.
M.C.O.: Thank you, Sam.
Eddy Wong: The next question comes from Eddie Wong with Morgan Stanley.
Eddy Wong: Please go ahead.
Eddy Wong: [inaudible] Hello, Mr. Zhang.
Eddy Wong: Thank you, Eddy.
M.C.O.: The second quarter's strong user growth momentum was mainly driven by our effective user acquisition strategies. Our ongoing investment in online channels, branding campaigns, and offline truck stickers advertising brought a steady stream of high quality new users to our platform.
M.C.O.: Additionally seasonal factors played in role as some shipments delayed during the Chinese New Year holiday were shipped during the busy shipping season Q2, resulting in higher shipping demand.
M.C.O.: From a user's structure perspective, the proportion of direct shipping continues to rise.
M.C.O.: In Q2, monthly active direct shipping increased by more than 38 percent year of the year, and direct shipping can contribute approximately 48% of the total for few others.
M.C.O.: Similar to previous closings, the majority of the new shipping users are small to medium size different owners.
M.C.O.: We have a higher likelihood of placing and fulfilling others.
M.C.O.: They also prioritize timely response and quality transportation services further boosting for human race.
M.C.O.: On the other hand direct shipping naturally tend to have a lower order frequency than professional shippers.
M.C.O.: To increase new direct shippers order frequency, we continue to enhance the trucker credit rating system to improve overall service quality and standards. Leveraging our advantages in pricing, matching efficiency, and trucker management capabilities, we aim to provide better service than those offline brokers that these users previously relied on.
M.C.O.: Also, we are strengthening our user coverage with a more comprehensive area of services, including the less-and-truck load, short haul, and PMF systems to cater a wider range of shipping needs for small to medium-sized shippers and increase usage frequency.
M.C.O.: Looking ahead, as we extend as our brand, exposure and awareness continue to rise, we expect a growing number of small to medium-sized business owners to join our platform driving sustained auto-borrowing growth in the rest of the years.
Julie Lee: Our next question comes from Julie Lee with CICC.
Julie Lee: Please go ahead.
Operator: You may be muted.
Julie Lee: Julie Lee with CICC.
Julie Lee: Please go ahead.
M.C.O.: Thank you for your question.
M.C.O.: I have a question for you.
M.C.O.: Let's take a look at Hui Yuan's progress.
M.C.O.: What can you see in your member users in the second corner?
M.C.O.: Thank you, Jiulu.
M.C.O.: We are pleased with our year-to-date Shipper Member Goal Freight. The number of Shipper Members reached 860,000 compared with 780,000 a year ago.
M.C.O.: Paying user growth was mostly driven by an increase in the number of new users and enhanced membership operations that have boosted conversions. In Q2, the increase in new paying Shipper Members came primarily from direct Shippers. To support this trend, we strategically lowered the payment barrier for new users with occasional free trial membership offers as well as the R&B 288 mini membership package.
M.C.O.: Meanwhile, we also increased benefits for existing Shipper Members, benefits for our member users include faster truck sourcing, access to top rated truckers and free freight insurance, all of which help convert non-member users to members and improve existing members' repurchase rate. Currently, the repurchase rate for Shipper Members remains above 80%, demonstrating existing members' high reliance and stickiness on our platform.
M.C.O.: As we continue to improve our freight listening products and refine our operational strategies, we're confident that we will consistently attract more paying members and further increase user retention.
M.C.O.: Thank you.
Brian Gong: Our next question comes from Brian Gong with City.
Brian Gong: Please go ahead.
M.C.O.: Thank you, Brian.
M.C.O.: Our average monthly active member of truckers responding to others remained about 3 million in the second quarter, with quarterly growth of more than 8%.
M.C.O.: Ensuring and adequate carrier capacity supply.
M.C.O.: The number of days that truckers search for freight on a platform and the other fulfillment frequency per active trucker also knows in this segment.
M.C.O.: Within our existing, tiered trucker rating system, we continue to deepen truckers' reliance on our platform by refining product features across various scenarios. As we mentioned earlier, one of our key projects in the second quarter was the roll-out of our premium cargo bidding function. Previously high-quality, freight others on our platform were often fulfilled before many truckers had the chance to bid into a perception that high-quality freight sources were in short supply.
M.C.O.: This negatively affected both our matching efficiency and for human base.
M.C.O.: With the launch of the premium cargo bidding, our platform now tax and hold high-quality freight others to give more truckers enough time to review and bid on those orders. By extending these others exposure time, we build and reinforce the perception that our platform has plenty of good freight others.
M.C.O.: This also creates a fair other bidding environment, which increases trucker users' thickness and improves overall for human base.
M.C.O.: In terms of optimizing service scenarios, we have capitalized on the angle going trend toward LTR shipping and created a dedicated carpool LTR carpool zone to improve trucker efficiency in consolidating the loads. In addition to how truckers report empty spaces, we launched our carpool assistant, which enables more accurate identification of carpooling needs and increase its success rate.
M.C.O.: We're confident with effective and refined operational strategies in place, we can ensure an overall positive experience for trucker users on the platform and help them increase their income.
M.C.O.: Thank you.
Charlie Chen: Our next question comes from Charlie Chen with China Renaissance.
Charlie Chen: Please go ahead.
M.C.O.: Thanks for taking my question.
M.C.O.: I have one question regarding the interested shipment.
M.C.O.: How did the interested shipment business progress in the second quarter of this year and what is the overall operational strategy for this transaction type in the second half of this year?
M.C.O.: Thank you.
M.C.O.: Thank you, Charlie.
M.C.O.: The interested shipment business grew rapidly in the second quarter with fulfilled orders accounting for more than 6% of total other volume.
M.C.O.: This is also a new record hack.
M.C.O.: We see that our pricing strategy optimization was one of the main drivers of this rapid order growth volume growth by integrating algorithm and additional, this is logic we created and more comprehensive and accurate pricing model.
M.C.O.: Effective control of the price premium has entitled both shippers and truckers to enjoy more balanced freight prices, which in turn has stimulated more order matching and for human compost and second, the influx of new users also has also led to an increasing trusted shipment orders, which has a lower barrier to entry for posting and a more hands-on customer service team.
M.C.O.: These features are well suited to new shippers needs making in trusted shippers their preferred choice.
M.C.O.: Operationally, we are currently focusing on our tiered trucker rating system to ensure the quality of trusted shipment transportation. This includes functions like delayed order displays which shows entrusted shipment orders to quality trucker source and then to median tier truckers after a delay, ensuring that the platform has sufficient transportation capacity.
M.C.O.: In addition, those risky truckers, such as those who have received serious complaints are excluded from viewing trusted shipment orders.
M.C.O.: As we move through the year, we expect ongoing improvement in product optimization, pricing strategy, and user experience among other aspects, all of which contribute to the rapid growth of order for human India and trusted shipment business.
M.C.O.: Thank you.
Thomas Chong: Our next question comes from Thomas Chong with Jeffries.

M.C.O.: Thank you, Thomas.
M.C.O.: The LTL business alone grew about 47% year over year in second quarter, again outpacing the food truckload.
M.C.O.: The other contribution of LTL continue to rise from the previous quarter reaching approximately 28% in a quarter. The relative outperformance of LTL in recent quarters was attributable to several main factors.

M.C.O.: Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on enhancing carpooling and matching efficiency user experience and penetration rates in the LPL business to address increased user demand.
M.C.O.: We also believe that the LPL business will continue to play an increasingly important role in our platform's future business development.
M.C.O.: Thank you.
M.C.O.: And that concludes the question and answer session.
M.C.O.: I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any additional or closing comments.
