TLA? On Valentines Day? Isn't it TLC (Tender Loving Care)? TLC is a TLA...or is that TMI (Too Much Information)? LOL. The world is full of T.L.As (Three Letter Acronyms) and logistics loves using them. I analyzed my last 6 blogs to find out that I used 19 Three Letter Acronyms! Ready for them? Lets go...COI, CES, COO, EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DAT, DAP, DDP, FAS, CIF, UPS, LTL, TMS, WMS, VCI and CFR twice in 2 different ways CFR meaning Cost and Freight (Incoterm) and CFR meaning Code of Federal Regulations. Some of the above acronyms don't relate exactly to Logistics, CES for example is the acronym for the Consumer Electronics Show. I wrote about CES in my Trade Show blog. Other acronyms are high profile brands in the industry like UPS, which we all know stands for United Parcel Service. In my new blog we will be adding 2 more 3 letter acronyms. API and EDI. Both of these acronyms are services that are not dependent on logistics but these days logistics is dependent upo
