the course was good but mentions it, but didn't teach you how to deal with overages, shortages, theft, in-route equipment breakdowns & load repowering. also didn't cover Freight Transportation Contract Drafting or how to source that service and didn't teach you how to process credit applications to see if that manufacturer has a positive or negative payment history.

No real technical information. Just where to look and publicity for a company owned by the "teacher".

I am about to start my own logistics consultant business and need all the ins and outs I can get. I am from South Africa where trucking is the number source of moving goods for clients. This course helped me get the correct mindset in each strategy on how to follow through
