Salary for a Director of Logistics?

I have no idea really but assuming it's with the company you've been at 6 years + MBA, I'd say $120,000+

You should do no less than $90k. My line of thinking would set $110k as the minimum

Yeah 6 figures easy. Depends on their abilities but a good logistician could be worth there weight in gold. Where is it based? My father was the head of logistics for the military out of Kuwait and now does work with general dynamics training other logisticians. If the job is posted somewhere I could send him a link to see if he is interested.

New Orleans. We monitor movements all along the Gulf Coast as well as the Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois, Tenn., and Arkansas rivers.

I have passed through this department within the past 6 years. I am currently filling the role as director. The former director went out for back surgery, and quite frankly the surgery went to shite. 7 weeks later, he is about to complete his 16th or 17th surgery. He will likely be going home this week, but still be out for another 4-6 months.

This company has been great to me. I have been able to learn and grown so much with them. I began riding their boats for several months, came into the purchasing department, then personnel department, then logistics, then Governmental Affairs & Corporate Compliance, and lastly I am here fulfilling the directors role. Quite frankly, I feel with my experience & knowledge, of the comany, coupled with my MBA that I should be making in the $100k range.

I wouldn't put too much into the MBA part.

Well, the plan after I leave this area is to eventually manage our boat/barge maintenance & new construction group. That's around a $30 million budget.

You put too much out there.

I assume you are in the industry?

90k minimum, 110-120 is what I would be looking to get.

Logistics is a high demand field. Determine what number would be suitable for you and ask for $10k more. Also give us an update on how it all goes down.
