[Prajwal Paudyal · Rating 4 out of 5]

a good introductory book to the world of transportation supply chain, but not technical at all. It would be a good addition to the book if some details were given on the types of optimization problems and at least the approaches to solve them.

Was interesting enough to read even if it hadn't been a textbook.
