Less-than-Truckload 2023 Online Education Schedule Curriculum Combining On-Demand & Live Learning

SMC3 Less-than-Truckload (LTL) Online Education

LTL is an incredibly complex mode of transportation, and for supply chain novices, 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 partnered with Logistics Training Center to provide the industry’s only coursework geared toward mastery of LTL transportation concepts.
