Transportation, distribution, and logistics (TDL) relates to how goods are moved from one placeto another. As far as goods and services are concerned, our world is flat. TDL takes care of how weget Mississippi farm-raised catfish to Europe and how the latest Paris styles arrive in the United States. TDL industries need motivated people with new ideas to ensure the U.S. transportation system continues to work efficiently. This pathway includes the planning, management, and movement of people, materials, and products by road, air, rail, and water. It also includes related professional and technical services, such as infrastructure planning and management, logistics, and maintenance of equipment and facilities.
