Had two interviews for a logistics company.
Here are the following requirements
• Booking cargo space with ocean carriers (FCL/LCL). • Coordinating logistics from origin to port (drayage, warehousing, etc.). • Preparing documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, export declaration). • Ensuring regulatory compliance (customs, export controls, incoterms). • Coordinating with freight forwarders, shippers, and consignees. • Tracking and tracing shipments from origin to destination. • Arranging container stuffing and sealing. • Managing schedules and deadlines to ensure timely delivery. • Problem resolution for issues like delays, damage, or customs holds.
Pricing • Quoting freight rates (ocean freight, fuel surcharges, security fees, etc.). • Analyzing carrier contracts and rate sheets. • Monitoring market trends to adjust pricing strategies. • Negotiating rates with carriers and consolidators. • Cost analysis for different routing and carrier options. • Margin management to ensure profitability. • Providing rate breakdowns to sales teams and customers. • Updating pricing systems with current rates and surcharges. • Managing rate validity periods and ensuring accuracy.
And guess how much they are offering me?
48k a year.
That doesn’t even cover rent in Miami plus expenses. I swear in a few years Miami will be the next Detroit with all of the B.S going on here at the job market.
