  6. What is 'digital twin' technology used for in a modern logistics distribution center?

    Answer: Building a virtual replica of physical operations to simulate and optimize processes before implementation

    A digital twin creates a virtual model of the physical DC that can be used to simulate layout changes, process flows, and capacity scenarios without disrupting operations.

  7. A freight broker operating in the U.S. must maintain which minimum bond amount as required by FMCSA regulations?

    Answer: $75,000 BMC-84 or BMC-85 surety bond or trust fund
