Hello Jim,

Seeing your request prompted this thought. Did you know that FEDEX contracts with PRIVATE enterprise to move its packages? FEDEX is always looking for independent contractors. Take a look at this site: http://www.fedex.com/us/indp/independentcontractors.html. As you'll note, there are several different ways to have your own business and be part of this growing firm.
Example: Seven years ago my previous neighbor began with two tractor-trailers. Today he has seven and is semi-retired, building the business even more.

Best regards,

Harry

Hi Jim,
The Logistics and Transportation industry is a very broad field. What type of business would like like to open? Are you looking to be a freight forwarder? I would suggest, if you are able instead of looking to simply intern, find a company in our area that you can actually work for. Preferably a smaller organization because you tend to get a better view of the entire organization.
