Nice article, and I agree with Margy while there is no technical schooling needed for 3PL freight forwarding, there is still a plethora of extensive details, legalities, structures, and hoops to jump through for any freight forwarder to be equipped with when dealing with major third party logistic operations and distribution chains. I work with http://www.spexpress.com and our internal freight forwarder team members are some of the most well rounded professionals we have, because they are nearly self taught in all things distribution and 3PL: from warehousing fulfillment to pick and pack services and so much more.
