What are Linear feet in transport and logistics - how to calculate Linear feet for LTL shipments - YouTube
– Watch from class Quiz 3:
Lanes in a full truck load parlance refers to:
A specific origin and a destination
A definition that includes all kinds of “semi-trucks” would be:
A combination of a tractor and one or more trailers
In trucking, FTL stands for:
Full Truck Load
In delivering truck load cargo, we may have a layover because:
truck reaches when the destination is closed
Comparing FTL and LTL, all of these are advantages of FTL except
FTL has the cheaper total cost
Shippers may be forced to use spot markets if:
They have high seasonality
The usual length of a semi-truck is:
53”
The main advantage of 2 way pallets over 4 way pallets is that they:
are more durable
The landing gear in a semi-truck is used when:
the tractor is detached from the trailer
For full truck shipping, if a company has very low volume on a trade lane, they should ideally use:
Spot market
A manufacturing company ships their products in 78 lanes from their Atlanta warehouse. This means:
the company ships to 78 destinations from Atlanta
Generally, a semi-truck has
5 axels and 18 tiers
A common carrier:
Needs both liability and cargo insurance
Full truck load pricing is decided on the basis of all of these except
Freight class
The distance used to quote truck load freight is based on:
Mutually agreed freight programs llke PC Miler
Spot markets for truck loads refer to:
Getting a quote for the current need
Companies are reluctant to invest in efficient 4 way pallets because
It is difficult to get the pallets back
Which of these is a smart tactic to minimize layovers on a 5 day route?
Shipping the long distance routes closer to Friday
A business does not want to own their own trucks, but they want a higher level of reliability. In this case, the business should choose:
Contract carriers
For full truck shipping, if a company has very low volume on a trade lane, they should ideally use: Spot market
Given a trade lane, if the shipping volume increases by x%:
the freight will increase by less than x %
If the pallets are loaded in the straight arrangement, how many pallets (40” X 48”) can be loaded
in a 53” ft semi-truck at one level?

A driver takes a nap in the truck sleeper. The driver can extend the 14 hour duty time because of this nap
False
In the 14 hour duty time, a driver can drive for a maximum of
11 hours
A driver completes the 60/70 hour duty cycle. To start the next duty cycle the driver must be off duty for
34 hours

driver drive for?
0 hours
If a driver faces an adverse driving condition like bad weather or traffic and has been forced to drive slow, she may extend her 11 hour duty time by:
2 hours
Quiz 5
An item with NMFC class 55, weighs 900 lbs. The tariff table for this class has these CWT rates:
L5C:87.91
A small business ships goods in standard sized cartons. The cartons are not palletized. The shipment would have:
high stowability, difficult handling
The base rates for LTL cargo are based on:
higher of actual weight and dimensional weight
Different types of cellphones have about the same density. They are packaged in cases and loaded on similar pallets. Yet, they have different freight classes. This could be because:
more expensive cellphones have a higher freight class
The commodity classification has
.
freight classes?
18
An LTL shipment has 3 cartons of size 48 X 40 X 65 inches. If the DIM factor of 194 in
3
/lbs, what
is the total volumetric weight in lbs of the shipment?
((48x40x65)x3)/194= 1,929.8969072164
The LTL fright codes have been designed by
National Motor Freight Traffic Association
The four factors that define a commodity’s NMFC freight class are:
density, stowability, handling, liability
On a per pound basis, the class that has the cheapest base rate is
50
An LTL shipment has one standard GMA pallet of 48 x 40 inches. The pallet is loaded so that the 48 inch side is along the length of the trailer. If the shipping company uses is
630 lbs / feet, the dimensional weight of the shipment would be
(palletsxlength)/12=linear feet (1x48)/12=4, 4x630=
2520
Which of these statements if
FALSE
with respect to moving perishable cargo:
perishability is not considered in assigning freight class
Hazardous cargo packed securely on pallets would have:
low stowability, easy handling
Linear footage is influenced by all of these except:
Stacking the cargo on a thinner pallet
On a per pound basis, the class that has the cheapest base rate is
50
Every commodity will be assigned to
One and only one class
An LTL shipment of class 55 weighs 900 lbs. The standard freight table for the given source and
desitination is displayed below. What will be the total base rate for the shipment.
