Smart SAP Assistant

  • Key Concepts: 
    Less than truckload (LTL) is a shipping method used to transport goods that are too large for parcel shipping but too small to fill an entire truck. It is a cost-effective way to move goods from one location to another, as the customer only pays for the space they use in the truck. 
    
    How to Use it: 
    LTL shipping is typically used for large orders that don’t require a full truckload. The customer will need to provide the shipper with the size and weight of their shipment, as well as the origin and destination of the shipment. The shipper will then calculate the cost of the shipment based on these factors. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using LTL shipping, it is important to package your goods properly. This will help ensure that your goods arrive safely and on time. Additionally, it is important to research different shippers and compare their rates and services before making a decision.
