A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A LOGISTICS CONSULTANT INTERN
This 12-week rotational internship offers hands-on sales experience, direct insight into Axle's community impact, and dedicated professional development.
As a Logistics Consultant, you are involved in sales, customer service, and the management of your customer's freight needs.
