We are Meridian Logistics

Moving freight. Powered by data.

We are a freight and supply-chain company operating across three continents. Every day, our platform tracks thousands of shipments, hundreds of carriers, and a growing network of warehouses — and all of it runs on SQL. As we scale, we're looking for people who are as comfortable with a JOIN as they are with a delivery deadline.

"Our warehouses run on forklifts. Our decisions run on SQL."

Please note: this is a practice simulation, not a real job interview. Meridian Logistics, its employees and its vacancies are fictional. Completing the interview does not lead to a job offer or any form of employment — the result and the feedback are only an educational self-assessment of your SQL skills.
