Heeey, I'm taking research project internship for my Masters at a logistics company. I am focusing on their low kilograms per loading meter (LDM) on some of their export lines. They're not utilising the full space potential of their trailers or swap bodies for certain destinations. Here's the situation: the company aims for a 700KGs/LDM target across all their export lines.

Hello. I am a 2nd year student at a university in North Carolina, double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration: Supply Chain Management. Recently, I have obtained in an internship in procurement with a biotech company and was wondering if the accounting double major would be worth pursuing to have a career in procurement.
