Did you hear about the man who got fired because he didn’t want to go to after-work drinks and “team-building” activities!? The crazy part? He won the legal right NOT to be “fun” at work! Folks, let’s be real for a second... In logistics, we’ve all seen the “work hard, drink harder” culture. It’s almost expected. But here’s the truth: You don’t need to drink or do these things to fit in, succeed, or be part of the team. I’ve shared this before - quitting drinking was the BEST decision I ever made. It gave me focus and clarity. And trust me, you don’t need a beer in your hand to get respect or be part of the group 💪 This guy’s win is a reminder: It’s okay to say NO. It’s okay to set boundaries. You DON'T have to join in with the drinking culture if it’s not for you 🍻❌ Like and repost if you believe it is time to rethink team bonding in our industry? #Logistics #Trucking #SupplyChain #Transport #Freight #InterstateTransport #RoadFreight #TransportServices #Linehaul #Procurement #3PL #Warehousing #Warehouse #FreightForwarder #FreightForwarding #TruckingNews #cargo #Import #Export #OceanFreight #SeaFreight #AirFreight #Australia

#transportation #Freightalk #seafreight #ecommerce #logistics #vessel #aircargo #seacargo #warehousing #digitaltransformation #rail #trucking #networking #businessdevelopment There are several reasons why #Friday holds significance for Logistics professionals: 👉Weekend preparation: Most businesses and offices operate on a Monday to Friday schedule, and Fridays serve as a natural transition into the weekend. Freight forwarders and logistics professionals need to ensure that all #shipments, documents, and schedules are in order before the end of the workweek. This helps prevent delays and keeps operations running smoothly. 👉Last-minute shipments: Many customers (#exporters and #importers) often have urgent or last-minute #shipping requirements that need to be addressed before the weekend. "Freight forwarders" and "logistics" professionals work diligently to accommodate these requests, making Fridays particularly busy as they scramble to fulfill the needs of their clients. 👉Clearing backlogs: Any pending tasks or unfinished assignments from the week must be completed on Friday to avoid delays in the supply chain. Logistics professionals prioritize these tasks to ensure that all shipments are processed efficiently and in a timely manner. 👉Planning for the upcoming week: Fridays also serve as a crucial day for planning and strategizing for the following week. This includes coordinating schedules, allocating resources, and communicating with clients and partners to ensure that all parties are aligned and prepared for the upcoming workload. 👉Closing out the week: Finally, Fridays offer an opportunity for freight forwarders and logistics professionals to review the week's performance, identify any issues or areas for improvement, and celebrate successes. This helps to maintain a high level of motivation and morale among the team members, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the organization. ✍️In summary, Fridays are important for the freight forwarding and logistics industry as they serve as a critical day for wrapping up the week's work, addressing last-minute needs, and preparing for the following week

Meet the team: Director Of Operations Kim Smith Today, we celebrate the birthday of our Director Of Operations Kim Smith. 🎉 Let's join together in wishing Kim a wonderful birthday filled with joy and memorable moments. Here's to another year of inspiring leadership. 60 Seconds With… Kim Smith Kim Smith, Director of Operations at Azura International, publisher of Air Cargo Week, has a 23 year career in the airfreight industry having joined the company in 2001 as a subscriptions administrator. How did you get into airfreight/logistics? By accident actually! It was the job position that I was attracted to rather than the type of company it was with. I applied for the position of “Subscriptions Administrator”. It fitted nicely with my previous role where I used to manage memberships for the UK sports governing body of ice skating If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would they be and why? The comedian Micky Flanagan. Because he is hilarious! Any of my grandparents. They all passed away before I was born so it would be great to talk about times gone by. My best friends. Who doesn’t like a girly chat to put the world to rights! What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? Don’t believe everything you read online! What is something we wouldn’t know about you from your CV? I completed the application forms for Torvill and Dean to make their comeback at the Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer back in 1994. If you had not pursued a career in airfreight, what other field would you have liked to go into? Veterinary care. What hobby have you always wanted to try but never got around to? Not exactly a hobby but I always wanted to be able to fly a helicopter. Shame about my fear of heights!

It’s Sunday so that means I’ll be watching my Cleveland Browns play in Las Vegas. But because I’m a nerd, this morning I’m also researching what it takes logistically to be a visiting team in the NFL. Every week there’s a massive logistical operation in the background ensuring everything runs like clockwork. From coordinating airfreight for player gear, medical supplies, and training equipment, to ground transportation for players, coaches, and staff, each away game is a carefully planned operation. Hotels, meals, and meeting spaces must be arranged, often across multiple time zones. It’s a massive effort. Whether it’s optimizing airfreight routes, managing travel schedules, or ensuring the right equipment is on the sidelines, logistics plays a critical role in ensuring teams can focus on the game, not the details. As someone with a background in logistics, this has been a fun “rabbit hole” to go down. It’s a great reminder that successful teams aren’t just on the field – they’re also behind the scenes. Maybe they can play for the Browns cause we can’t get any worse. #NFLLogistics #SupplyChain #Teamwork #Operations #FreightManagement #Airfreight #BehindTheScenes #GoBrowns

🌟 Meet Our Team Series 🌟 We are excited to launch our new series, “Meet Our Team,” where we will be introducing the outstanding professionals who make our company thrive. Each month, we’ll spotlight a different team member, sharing their unique stories, skills, and contributions. Stay tuned to learn more about the talented people who drive our success! Today, we start with Jan Nicolas Peters 🚢, who, after eight years as a chief mate on the high seas 🌊, swapped the bridge of a container ship for a desk in Tailwind’s Operations Management last year. Together with his three teammates (all of whom also bring their personal practical shipping expertise to the table), the 35-year-old has been using his expertise in our headquarters in Hamburg 💙. As Senior Operations Manager, Jan Nicolas is tasked with the complex and dynamic planning of the entire voyage of our fleet: from stowage planning and fuel bunkering to synchronizing the arrivals of the feeder ships with the port calls of our Panda Express Service 🐼. Are bunkering barges available when we need them? What about the berths in the respective ports? Will the tide play along so that the ships can pass under the bridges along the way, for example? “We want to constantly optimize our processes,” Jan Nicolas emphasizes, “which is why we always check exactly which adjustments we can make to a voyage next time.” Because at Tailwind, we put our customers first and always aim to deliver your goods on time 🚀. #ShipDifferent #reliable #simple #together #teamtailwind
