Transportation of cargo in modern conditions is the optimal and tested routes, safety and integrity of the delivered cargo, strict observance of the established terms of delivery [3]. The basic principles of logistics are [1]:
 - execution of the contract in full;
 - the direct executor (the driver, the forwarder) is present at the appointed time in the specified place;
 - the delivered goods did not lose their qualities and remained in full volume;
 - Delivery is done in the optimal time;
 - financial costs for transportation are minimized.

 At first glance, the conditions are clear, and there is no hindrance to successful activity. But it is the work of a logistics specialist that indicates that a creative approach is needed here. For example, the carrier for a period of time delivered construction materials to the regions. Given the specifics of this product, the logist worked out the route of transportation, possibly with a load for the return journey. And then there was a need to transport cargo of a completely different purpose, say, farm animals. To carry out such cargo transportation it is necessary to change the concept itself, the laid route (to plan the stopping points for bait, watering of animals and other nuances).

 It is the logistics specialist who is responsible for the organization of the transportation process. He is obliged to create a package of documents for the cargo to be transported, to search for the necessary vehicle and within the limits of his competence, to test his ability to transport the required goods, taking into account the specifics of the latter. From the creativity of thinking and the speed of decision-making by the logistician, the final result of the performance of freight forwarding contracts depends [2].
 To ensure the successful and uninterrupted operation of a trucking company, several qualified logistics specialists are needed. It is up to them to optimize the work of the enterprise, reduce the time for delivery of goods, reduce costs and increase profitability. The presence of a logisticist in the company’s staffing list has become, in its way, her business card. This indicates a competent approach of enterprise managers to the possibility of optimally managing their resources.
