Published by [Leah Parrott](https://learn.cfidrive.com/author/leah-parrott) on Jul 6, 2023 12:45:00 PM
Contract Freighters, Inc. (“CFI”), one of North America’s leading providers of truckload transportation services, announced today that Greg Orr, who has been CFI’s president since 2018, has decided to retire effective July 15, 2023. A 25-year veteran of the transportation industry, he leaves behind a remarkable legacy of leadership, innovation, and lasting impact in the transportation sector.
“We appreciate Greg’s leadership at CFI since Heartland Express became associated with CFI in August 2022. We wish Greg all the best in his future endeavors,” said Mike Gerdin, CEO of Heartland Express, Inc., CFI’s parent company.
The company congratulated Greg on his career, pointing to a legacy at CFI in which he fostered a strong culture of collaboration and operational excellence, sustained an excellent reputation with drivers, guided the company through numerous industry challenges, and shaped it to compete and succeed in today’s markets with superior solutions for customers.
"It has been an incredible honor to lead CFI over the past six years," said Greg Orr. "I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together. The dedication and talent of our team have been instrumental in driving our success, and I am confident that CFI will continue to thrive and shape the future, all while keeping North America moving."
