Hi All! I have to say that I love these questiongs and the idea of having new ones every week. I am a manager at a forwarding company in the US and I am always looking for ways to challange my employees. I have been trying to find some software for education on basic shipping industry knowledge and test and have been unable to find anything. If anyone comes across anything can you please let me know? Thank you! I’ll be checking back for the next update.
