Description
Every year, freight companies lose thousands of dollars to demurrage, detention, and hidden trucking fees – not because they're bad at their job, but because nobody ever taught them what to watch for.
If you're working in freight forwarding, drayage, or logistics operations, one late email or one missed LFD (Last Free Day) can cost your company thousands. This course fixes that.
Based on 4+ years of real-world US trucking operations experience, this course walks you through exactly how professional operators track ETAs, manage container pickups, avoid costly delays, and communicate with truckers and clients – the way it's actually done in the industry, not just theory.
