I have grown both as a person and professionally. I only have 6 months left of Young DSV and it has been a really positive experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. If something is wrong, I make sure it's handled – even though it's not in my department. On top of that, I am in constant dialogue with the customers to make sure everything is alright with their shipments. I also plan the transport of up to 40 trucks and talk with different hauliers to negotiate the best price for each transport. As I live in Norway, which is not a part of the European Union, there are a lot of complex custom rules and I have to make sure all the paperwork is correct. I work with import and export freight in central Europe and countries like Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The trainees in my year are now both friends and good colleagues who support and help each other. We bonded during the theoretical modules run at the head office in Denmark. The best part of Young DSV is definitely that I got so many new friends from all over Europe – some of the other trainees I believe will be my friends for life. Sometime it is during the hard times you learn the most.įrom the outset, you get a lot of practical experience and responsibility and for me it’s the best way to learn.

As a trainee I worked just as hard as the others because I had my own area of responsibilities – I learned a lot about myself in that period. My most challenging experience as a Young DSV trainee was a very busy period at my department where we all had to work late to get the work done. In the beginning, it was very exciting to get to know so many new people and learn how the industry works. I didn't know much about transport and logistics before I started but very quickly I knew I was at the right company and industry. How has it been to be a Young DSV trainee? The Young DSV traineeship is perfect for me because I can work while I study to become a freight forwarder. I wanted more education, but being a young father I could not go to university or college and work at the same time.

Before starting Young DSV, I worked in sales as an account manager in another company.
