# CFI’s Greg Orr on Inflation Pressures in Logistics Management Magazine

 Published by [Katlin Owens](https://learn.cfidrive.com/author/katlin-owens) on  Feb 16, 2022 11:24:07 AM

Logistics Management Magazine recently turned to CFI Executive Vice President Greg Orr's 30 years of transportation industry experience for his outlook on inflationary pressure and the road ahead.

While trucking has entered its fourth year of higher rates and profitability, carriers like CFI now face higher prices on everything from trucks to windshield wipers and lubricants. The article also points out that fuel prices are nearing $4 a gallon across most of the U.S., with crude oil priced at nearly twice rates from one year ago.

> "As a country, we have to figure out how to get in front of inflation," Orr told Logistics Management's Contributing Editor John D. Schulz.
