LTL is an incredibly complex mode of transportation, and experience in the field isn’t easily gained. When longtime employees with decades of experience in the industry leave, a hole in the collective knowledge of their organizations opens up. The same holds true for upwardly mobile logistics leaders that change jobs. To fill this void, SMC³ has developed LTL online education and the industry’s online LTL certification program. Through five online, self-paced on-demand courses and classroom-style lectures, SMC³ shares its lifetime of LTL expertise with logistics stakeholders and future supply chain leaders looking take their careers to the next level.

The course curriculum covers:
- The fundamentals of LTL
- Operations
- Carrier pricing and costing
- Transportation laws and regulations
- Business analytics
