These are two separate published estimates, not a time series. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not encourage the use of OEWS data for time-series analysis. Differences between releases reflect changes in occupational classification, survey methodology, and the three-year pooled sample as well as any change in pay, so the two figures should not be read as a rate of wage growth.
BLS publishes wages by occupation code, not by job title, so this figure covers every role mapped to Logisticians (SOC 13-1081) rather than Logistics Coordinatorspecifically. The national range at the top of this page is Orbyt’s role-level estimate, which is a different thing and is labelled as such.

The salary figures on this page are computed estimates, not observed wages. Each one is a national role baseline scaled by a Bureau of Economic Analysis Regional Price Parity cost-of-living multiplier (2025 index) and rounded to the nearest $1,000. No published wage percentile is consulted and no wage survey response enters the calculation, so an Orbyt estimate must not be cited as a Bureau of Labor Statistics figure or as measured pay. The published wage data Orbyt holds is Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, and Department of Labor H-1B Labor Condition Application filings, which record a filed minimum visa base wage rather than market pay. Where BLS publishes a wage for the occupation a role maps to, it is shown on that role's page as a separate benchmark, labelled with its occupation code, metro area and the number of employed workers it covers. Last updated August 2026. This role maps to BLS occupation code 13-1081. Full methodology.
Orbyt estimates the average Logistics Coordinator salary in the United States at $81,000 in 2026, within a range of $63,000 to $104,000. These figures are Orbyt estimates, computed rather than measured, and must not be cited as Bureau of Labor Statistics figures; the published BLS wage for the occupation this role maps to is shown separately on this page. San Francisco is the highest of the 81 cities at $114,000, while Salt Lake City offers the best purchasing power after cost-of-living adjustments.

What you should know.
Mode expertise and geographic complexity drive salary differences.

Third-party logistics (3PL) providers often pay higher base salaries than in-house logistics departments at smaller companies.
Entry-level logistics coordinators earn $36,000 to $44,000. Experienced coordinators with specialization reach $48,000 to $62,000. Senior logistics coordinators earn $60,000 to $75,000. Logistics managers earn $72,000 to $95,000, with directors of logistics reaching $100,000 to $140,000.
Bonuses of 5 to 10% based on cost savings and on-time delivery performance are typical. Benefits often include shift differentials for warehouse-adjacent roles and company vehicle or mileage reimbursement for field-based coordinators.
