If you are starting your career in Transportation and Logistics, then it is inevitable that your base salary will fall below the average Transportation and Logistics salary.

Gaining additional qualifications and putting in years of work are assured routes to earning more as a Transportation Manager. However, there are many other ways to earn a higher wage.
It almost goes without saying that you will earn more if you work full-time, instead of part-time. Overtime will increase your total hours, and some employers offer a higher hourly rate for overtime, mainly if the hours are during undesirable times, such as in the evening, night, or weekend. If shift work is a possibility, then you should expect a higher hourly rate.
Choosing an employer that pays a commission or a performance bonus can significantly lift your annual compensation. A busy role is the key to success here, so you might need to find an inner-city employer to maximise your earning potential.
If you have reached your salary pinnacle as a Transportation Manager, it may be time to look at related roles. You will likely have gained the experience you need to shift your career direction or consider working as a freelancer or consultant.
Asking your employer for a raise can seem daunting. Before you start a salary conversation, consider why you deserve a pay raise. Evidence is vital and persuasive, so it helps to collate performance figures, certificates, recognition, and awards.
