Every year, the best graduates of the training programme for freight forwarding and logistics services can apply for the title “Young Freight Forwarder Germany”. To do so, they present a creative solution for a logistics task to the expert jury.
Self-confident appearance required
This year, the task to be solved was the question of how to transfer high-quality cars from Stuttgart to Dakar in Senegal and to Kigali in Rwanda as quickly, sustainably and cost-effectively as possible – the candidates were to present their approach in no more than ten minutes. Among other things, the jury paid attention to whether complicated legal regulations, such as customs and dangerous goods regulations, were taken into account.

»Well-trained, capable and motivated freight forwarding and logistics services clerks are an important building block for the company’s success.“
