 * Thank you for your answer. MikeTask is not my real name.
 * I prepare logistics training material and to do so I follow and gather a lot of information pertaining to the fields of supply chain, logistics, transportation and trade compliance. I also take pictures in this field and already share some on Wikimedia or Pixbay under cc4 license - these pictures could help illustrate certain logistics related pages.
 * I would like to use some of the information I have acquired and review to edit existing wikipedia pages and complete them / or possibly create new topics. For example, I'm currently working on a module related to warehousing and when doing my research I often do come over wikipedia pages but also other credible / independent sources which contain additional information which could add value to the existing wikipedia pages. I do believe I would be in a COI situation as I would be relying on summarized research and external sources and not any of my own direct publications.
 * In short, I have a lot of experience in this field and do a lot of research and visual documentation to prepare training material and believe I could, when relevant, add to existing pages when I find they lack information I have uncovered during my research or work experience. I'm not saying my contributions will be essential or numerous but this current block prevents me from helping or contributing in any way possible.
 * I hope this clarifies and will encourage you to remove the block.

 * For example, the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Motor_Freight_Classification could be edited to included references to sub-classes (density-based) or to FAK agreements (on this page or as a new one).
 * FAK - Freight All Kinds - "Freight All Kinds (FAK) refers to a consolidated cargo shipment where items of different classes (regardless of weight, bulk or value) are shipped in a single truckload and charged a single rate". [source - https://www.nafahq.org/frequently-asked-questions-on-freight-class/]
 * It is generally, an agreement between a shipper who delivers load combining products of various classes and an LTL carrier. Instead of figuring out the NMFC freight class for each shipment and transported packages, the carrier determines an average class for the cargo profile of this specific shipper, and this average class is used for all his shipments.
 * For example, if your commodities range from class 50 to 100, the carrier could offer a FAK class of 70, meaning all items would be rated using this class. This may result in saving for you and will ease calculation/control for all. Carriers closely monitor their existing FAK to make sure they remain viable, as freight mixes may change over time.
