As an LTL Sales Representative, your main responsibility is to generate sales in the less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation industry. You will be responsible for selling shipments that don't require a full truckload, which is where the term "less-than-truckload" comes from. You will work with both current and potential customers to determine their shipping needs, and then use your knowledge of the industry to develop a customized plan that will meet those needs. You will also be responsible for negotiating prices, setting up contracts, and maintaining positive relationships with your customers.
