Customer Reviews
Great review
The book is informative, and easy to read. I got it in a timely mannor and the price was right. I saved a lot compared to buying it from the school
AN EXCELLENT DUTY WRITE UP FOR A SHIPPING GUY
Wow, definitively a good book which I'm now recommending to my subordinates and co-workers to read. Definitively worth a positive review and comment from my part. It made me laugh my lungs off with the comments which really indicate right on what we, as Distribution Center managers go through. So it keeps it fun and informative and quite sincerely, I learned a lot of new things by reading it.
It got a bit boring at the end when it got into the computer chapters but this is probably because this was data I already knew. I'm sure someone who doesn't know anything about computers would enjoy these last chapters just as much. However the whole book is worth to be purchased and read. If you don't like the last two chapters, just don't read them.
I would describe this book more like a post write up, a manual for your post, which is exactly what I was looking for, not a bunch of "new techniques" from some hot shot who doesn't even understand what he is talking about.
On that note, I really appreciate that the author kept it simple, with defined terms and not trying to use a bunch of nomenclature only a very seasoned logistic manager could understand, which is obviously not why someone would buy and read this book. Thanks for the glossary too.
As a last note, I have now ordered all the books you recommend on your book and I'm sure I will find them very helpful.
I give your book a sincere 10. Thanks.
Misguided
I bought this book because I thought that it would help me in my business. I was hoplessly wrong. This book offers nothing new and is completely worthless especially for readers bases outside the USA. I'm sure that Mr. Stroh is good at Transport and Logistics, but he is terrible at explaining them comprehensively.
Logistics and Transportation
Excellent, having been promoted from Information Services to Manager Logistics/I.S., I needed to learn quickly. Great overview of the shipping/receiving terms and process.
Essential Primer for Transportation and Logistics
Mr Stroh has written an essential primer on the subjects of transportation and logistics. The book is composed in an informal and informational style which makes the subject matter easily understood... In addition to having personally read and enjoyed Mr Stroh's books, I have purchased several copies for my employees on the Shipping Dock... Mr Stroh's books resides right next to our Company SOPs as an excellent Resource
