Last week centered on practical throughput gains and career decisions. Members compared tactics for keeping dock turns under 12 minutes, shared low-lift ways to track pick rates without a full WMS, and traded steps for faster triage on mixed returns. Hiring threads showed strong interest in remote logistics roles, while two “Would You Take This Job?” posts sparked useful benchmarking on scope, shifts, and pay. We also saw thoughtful takes on which tools are actually moving the needle in 2025 and which courses help with longer-horizon inventory planning.
