How to become a transportation analyst?

Many transportation analysts have a bachelor’s degree in logistics, business, or a similar discipline, but some employers consider candidates without a degree who have extensive experience in a transportation-related field, including domestic operations and international importing and exporting duties, or in warehouse distribution roles. You must be familiar with inventory control processes and have a background in research and negotiation. Additional qualifications include proficiency with basic computer programs, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, and excellent communication and problem-solving skills. You often find transportation analyst positions in manufacturing, automotive firms, and in municipal public works departments.
