You must break down an originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo if there is a difference of how many pounds between the documented and actual weight?
- A.
100.
- B.
150.
- C.
200.
- D.
355.
Correct Answer
B. 150.Explanation
If there is a difference of 150 pounds between the documented and actual weight, it is necessary to break down the originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo. This is because the difference in weight indicates a potential discrepancy or error in the documentation, and individually weighing each piece of cargo will help identify the specific item or items that are contributing to the difference.Rate this question:

When building multi-pallet trains, you may need to use dunnage to help distribute the weight evenly. The weight of the dunnage is annotated as what kind of weight?
- A.
Net.
- B.
Tare.
- C.
Gross plus.
- D.
Not annotated.
Correct Answer
B. Tare.Explanation
When building multi-pallet trains, dunnage is used to help distribute the weight evenly. The weight of the dunnage is annotated as tare weight. Tare weight refers to the weight of the packaging or container that holds the goods, excluding the goods themselves. In this case, the dunnage is considered part of the packaging and is therefore included in the tare weight.Rate this question:

What must be considered when building a multi-pallet train?
- A.
Immigrations clearance.
- B.
Supply of pallet covers.
- C.
Multi-pallets in back log.
- D.
Materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the pallet train.
Correct Answer
D. Materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the pallet train.Explanation
When building a multi-pallet train, it is important to consider the materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the train. This means that the equipment needed to transport and move the pallets should be taken into account. This includes considering the size, weight, and type of MHE required to efficiently handle the pallet train. Immigrations clearance, supply of pallet covers, and multi-pallets in back log are unrelated factors that do not directly impact the construction of the multi-pallet train.Rate this question:
