What is logistics?

Generally speaking, do logistics, examples around you, such as: express delivery, cargo transportation.

Needless to say, you should know something about domestic transportation. It's not difficult. High school students can also do this industry. Get a few sorting machines, register a few computers, and get a few customer service girls, and you can be a courier boss.

What the country lacks is international logistics talents, that is, international transportation. There are many such classifications, such as dangerous goods, general goods and fresh goods. To engage in international freight transportation, you have to know some import and export knowledge related to various countries, such as what can be imported and exported, what can't be imported and exported, what restrictions are there, and how to pay customs duties. So it also has something to do with international trade.

Therefore, international logistics is a compound talent. Large international logistics companies have a fine division of labor, mostly contacting containers, engaging in customs declaration and sales (promoting their own logistics services to other companies). This is the backstage work of the logistics company. The front line is the freight forwarder, who is responsible for loading the goods on the means of transport (such as planes and ships).

The salary is not high. The general customer service staff of UPS is 3K-5K, and the senior management staff of China in customer service category is 8K, and the sales category is higher, with commission. Generally, the personnel are above 5K, and the front-line operators are generally 3K-5K. Well, this is the salary level of world-class express delivery companies. The boss is really stingy. However, other companies are similar. It is foreign capital, but the salary level of the logistics industry is not high. Unlike those engaged in financial insurance, middle management can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and it is also a domestic company.

If it is a domestic courier company, it is even lower, only 2-3k. Of course, this refers to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Of course, we don't do express delivery, but engage in international transportation (sea transportation), such as Maersk. The salary level is similar to UPS. The highest salary for the same type of work is 500- 1000.

I suggest you be careful when choosing a logistics major.
