Those impacts include raw materials sourced from the region, rerouting transportation around the war zone, and impacts on the costs associated with fuel. How long will these impacts continue to affect the world's supply networks?New efforts are underway to add additional capacity to the trucking market. They include a new apprenticeship program designed to bring more drivers into the industry.With the Russian war affecting oil prices, supply chain costs continue to surge, according to this month's Logistics Managers Index.
