Whether you\u2019re starting out or thinking of making a <strong>leap to logistics<\/strong>, find out from people in the industry what attracts and keeps them on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 Reasons to Start a Career in Logistics\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/352476942?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"212\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>You thrive in a fast-paced environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Logistics is 24\/7. A hybrid model, asset and non-asset-based company like Fuel is responsible for booking and transporting thousands of loads of product (everything from coffee to airplane engines) across North America every week. \u201cI love the fast-paced environment, communicating with multiple parties, getting everyone on the same page,\u201d says Logistics Coordinator Brandon Spakowski. When you talk to anyone in logistics, there\u2019s a common theme: it\u2019s never boring. \u201cIt\u2019s really fluid; we have to be able to adapt,\u201d says National Account Manager Gina Sapienza, \u201cevery day is something new.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>You like solving puzzles and problems<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate goal of an excellent logistics\ntransportation company is to \u201ccreate synergies, minimize empty miles and grow\nand optimize the network,\u201d says Fuel CEO Rob Piccioni. This means looking at multiple\nfast-moving lanes and loads and uncovering unseen possibilities to create\nefficiencies. Added to finding order in complexity are daily obstacles, such as\nweather delays, drivers stuck at the border, and maintenance and infrastructure\nissues. According to Account Manager Domenic Tosi, the operations department is\non the front line, \u201cwe\u2019re focused on rapid problem solving\u2014you have to thrive\non the curveballs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>You love learning new things<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Fuel, it\u2019s a constant learning process, says POD Billing Supervisor Karine El-Zayed, \u201ceverybody has the opportunity to grow.\u201d HR Project Manager Carine Haddad, agrees, \u201cwhat\u2019s cool about Fuel is the challenges never stop\u2014there\u2019s always creative ideas, and you have to keep learning to stay on your toes.\u201d That learning is fully supported by comprehensive training and support programs. \u201cWhen you first start here, we support you, we understand mistakes happen, we help you on how to recover, move on and not dwell on it,\u201d says Spakowski. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>You want a clear plan to grow your career<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been moving up fairly quickly, since I got here,\u201d says Logistic Account Specialist, Sean Hvrinak, who has been with Fuel for three years, adding, \u201canyone in customer service [Logistics Coordinator], striving to be a Hybrid Logistics Coordinator can do that. Anyone can be a team lead [Logistics Account Specialist]. There\u2019s a logical ladder.\u201d Spakowski, who is training for the Hybrid role agrees: \u201cNow, getting into six months, I\u2019m building my trajectory; I\u2019m moving along to help sell to carriers.\u201d And this growth isn\u2019t limited to entry-level team members. Sapienza, who has been in the logistics industry for four years, chose to move to Fuel at the end of 2018 because of its focus on building up its employees, \u201cI was stuck for a little while [at my old company]; I saw a lot of opportunity for growth here.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>You like collaborating and working with a team<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like I never left my sport,\u201d says Hrivnak, a former hockey player, \u201cwe work as a team; if someone\u2019s behind, we fill in for each other.\u201d Logistics Account Specialist Jess Lanni agrees, \u201cWe compete <em>together.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got something to add?
