Just wanted to add in, even as someone who isn't super experienced in the field (1.5 years of contracting on top of 6ish years programming in grad school), I find logistics an incredibly interesting field. So yes even from youngish guys you'll be attractive even being a "non-glamorous industry."

Also I believe a large swath of developers just enjoy problem solving regardless of the application as long as solving the problem itself is a challenge. While others like steady routine, and I think both are useful to your ends. Of course there are some that like to be on the cutting edge (though IMHO logistics can very much include that, though I recognize that isn't your needs currently) and those people will choose a different company.
