Please choose one company, research the company, learn about the organization and write a paper that tells us the reader about them. Your audience is anyone who is a decision maker within an organization that moves products from one place to another. You can concentrate on domestic or international services or both. There is plenty of data available. Your biggest challenge should be trimming down the high points.
