Get as much process knowledge working with the clients. Understand why something is done. Technology does not matter that much. Learn the inbound process and the outbound process. Pools, cross docks, FTL, LTL, parcel, zone skipping, appointments, dock doors , fleet, visibility, EDI, chargebacks, trade management. If u can talk on those with examples, you should be good.
