QUESTION 2 OF 31

At XPO Logistics, we prefer to hire those with some industry knowledge. Can you explain what Less Than Truckload (LTL) is?

Remember, the interviewer is not necessarily looking for a full understanding of systems and processes (depending on the level of role you are interviewing for), nor an educational lecture. They are merely looking for indicators of sincere career interest and a confidence in your abilities. Show them that you, effectively, can talk the talk.

"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 the price being based on the whole truck, it will be calculated 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?"
