Hi everyone! 👋
I work in manufacturing as a SQE regularly communicate with Chinese suppliers and imported materials has made me more interested in the logistics side of international trade.

I'm planning to learn logistics through self-study to build a stronger understanding of the field.

If you work in logistics, supply chain, or import & export, I'd really appreciate your advice. What should I start with? Any courses, books, or resources you found useful?

Thanks in advance

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?
