Trucking industry rep discusses inflation impact.

We have all seen the huge increase in food prices as inflation is still hovering well over six per cent. Some food items, however, have seen an increase of 10 to 20 per cent over the past year including many of the vegetables we enjoy. Some of rising food prices can be attributed to the increased costs truckers are facing. An important industry which delivers our food to us. To discuss this in more detail is Al Nelson, he is a dispatcher who works with CJD Trucking. He joined us from Lethbridge.
