I ATTENDED THE FORMAL KICK-OFF of the online-live "hybrid" seminar held by SMC3 and the Logistics Training Center on the subject of LTL pricing and costing last month.Students work through the course materials at their own pace and supplement that work with a chance to see and hear from successful industry role models on Zoom discussing the practicalities of moving LTL. SMC3 has announced a schedule for other courses to be offered as "live" in addition to a self-paced version of courses toward a certification in LTL.The pricing and costing course is eight modules, presenting both a shipper and carrier perspective on the nuts-and-bolts that make up the complex world of LTL classification, rating and pricing along with discounts, FAK and as-weight formulas. And if you don't know the definition of these terms, you may want to consider attending yourself or signing up a member of your team. As we're finding, many shippers these days are without technical knowledge in this growing area of responsibility. |
