Kashkari: Diesel and Truck Driver Supply Top Concern in Minneapolis Fed District

The signal here is that a sitting FOMC member is flagging freight and fuel inputs, not demand, as the district's live worry — a reminder that goods-movement costs sit inside the inflation picture even when the policy debate is elsewhere. It matters most for anyone exposed to transport and logistics economics in that region. Kashkari attached no policy implication, so the open question is whether diesel and driver availability stay a regional anecdote or start showing up in broader cost commentary.
