QUESTION 2 OF 35

Explain what Less Than Truckload (LTL) is.

Answer this question as articulately as you can. By explaining these industry terms to your interviewer, you are effectively taking a test on your communication skills. Speak as clearly as possible while avoiding stammering, taking long pauses, or relying too heavily on speech-crutch words. You want to be clear and effective in what you are relating. Present yourself as the kind of professional they would want to represent their company.

"From my understanding, LTL carriers will transport goods from multiple companies at a time. LTL, or Less Than Truckload, means that the shipper and deliverer may reach an agreement on reduced pricing if they aren't filling an entire truck. Instead of basing the price on the whole truck, they will calculate it according to the weight of the shipment and the distance."

"Although I am new to the logistics industry, I believe that LTL is related to the shipping of partial loads. With that said, I am here to learn. Could you take a moment to explain LTL briefly to me?"
