I've been an author and SFL employee for over 10 years. As an author, I've been able to teach others. I love guiding users through supply chain and logistics operations. I have substantial experience managing logistics operations, supply chain management, transportation, inventory management, and warehousing in shipping-moving and logistic services. I've worked on many worldwide logistics and supply chain projects, honing my abilities in negotiating rates, scheduling shipments, and managing vendors.","jobTitle":"Supply Chain and Logistics Specialist","url":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/blog\/author\/tammywaller82gmail-com"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30846"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30857,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30846\/revisions\/30857"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sflworldwide.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
