Inventory carrying costs can add up too, but not as much as transport.

I remember a practice question where inventory carrying costs were mentioned, but I feel like transportation is more significant overall.

Transportation costs are usually the biggest variable expense in a logistics system, so I'm going to go with that option, B.

Okay, let me see. Variable costs are the ones that change with volume, right? So it's probably not the fixed costs like warehouse operations. Transportation seems like the most likely big variable expense. I'll go with B.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know logistics has a lot of different costs involved. I might need to think through the different categories more carefully before answering.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know inventory carrying costs can be high, but I'm not sure if that's the single largest variable cost. Maybe I should review my logistics notes again before deciding.

Ah, I see. The key is to identify the root cause and take the appropriate action. Restarting the application seems like the most logical first step here.

Inventory carrying costs? More like 'inventory carrying extra pounds' if you ask me. Those warehouse workers must be shredded!
