There's a difference between a quote and an estimate. A quote is the price of transporting products from point A to point B. An estimate is the cost of all the services associated with moving cargo from your door to your customer's door. This course will teach you how to accurately estimate the weight and dimensions of your shipments, which is critical in logistics as it helps keep you out of trouble at several stages along the supply chain - especially when dealing with expedited shipments, such as air transport.
