My uncle is a HS math teacher and like a lot of teachers, he is looking to switch careers. I’m thinking there might be a place for him in logistics. What roles should he start looking at that might suit his skills?

There are many roles in logistics that he could start looking at. One option is to become a transportation coordinator. In this role, he would be responsible for making sure that the right goods are shipped to the right places at the right times.

He could become a warehouse manager, which would involve overseeing the storage and handling of goods in a warehouse. I feel like your uncle's experience with Math and school papers would suit him for this.
