I got a weird question. Let's say someone has been working as a banker for several years and is getting increasingly frustrated with being in finance. If they were a good salesman would there be any crossover with logistics? What kinds of questions would that person encounter in an interview?

If your operating costs are 50 cents per mile, how would you price a 500 miles back haul?

Given a voyage where you can load 29,000 MT, a two day load time, three days transit and one day unload, with port costs at 12,000 load and free discharge, assuming a ballast leg of one and a half day 50% of the time and a target TCE of 25k per day, what would you offer the customer? What if the customer needs to move 110k tons per years, over ten months?

Operations just told your customer their pick up is going to be a day late, what do you do?

I don�t know. I�m an operation guy

Math? Gross. I'll stick to finance.
