MSSC Certified Logistics Technician (CLT) 4.0 CLT Exam Practice Test

Answer : D

In the MSSC Certified Logistics Technician (CLT 4.0) standards, the final inspection of an outbound order focuses on product condition, item accuracy, and shipping documentation. Before an order leaves the facility, warehouse staff must confirm that all items are in good condition (free from visible damage), the counts match the packing list or manifest, and that the customer address and shipping labels are accurate. These checks ensure that shipments meet quality expectations and reduce costly returns or claims.

However, confirming the correct dock for loading is a facility-level logistics coordination task, not part of the order verification process. Dock assignment is typically controlled by dispatch or the warehouse management system (WMS) to optimize carrier scheduling and loading efficiency. The CLT curriculum distinguishes between quality assurance tasks (verifying accuracy, packaging, and labeling) and logistical operations (assigning docks, sequencing trailers). Therefore, verifying the correct dock is not a required outbound order check, making option D the correct answer.

This aligns with CLT's Packaging and Shipment and Dispatch and Tracking key activities, which emphasize product verification, documentation accuracy, and load integrity before release---not dock allocation management.

Answer : C

A shipping manifest consolidates shipment details, including invoice numbers, customer addresses, package counts, and weights. The CLT ''Dispatch and Tracking'' section defines it as the formal record that accompanies shipments for carrier and customs use. It does not include individual employee information such as the picker's name. Instead, the manifest focuses on shipment verification data, allowing auditors and carriers to reconcile freight totals and documentation. CLT emphasizes that completeness and accuracy in manifests ensure traceability and compliance with transport regulations, while personnel tracking is managed separately through warehouse labor or WMS records.

Answer : D

Safety in receiving operations is a primary CLT competency. Before dock workers enter a trailer, it must be physically restrained to prevent motion. The correct procedure includes chocking the wheels, applying dock locks or restraints, and verifying dock plates are properly secured. Chocking provides mechanical stabilization, preventing the vehicle from rolling during loading or unloading. While the driver applies the parking brake, the CLT standards emphasize redundancy---mechanical wheel chocks or dock locks are mandatory for safety compliance. The supervisor oversees adherence but is not solely responsible for the act. Allowing trailer movement is a serious safety violation.

Answer : A

CLT receiving controls call for identifying and documenting damages at the dock, before accepting the load and releasing the carrier. This ensures that responsibility is clear, carrier paperwork reflects exceptions, and claims can be initiated with proper evidence (photos, notes, seal status). Posting damaged items to inventory first compromises accuracy and complicates claims; waiting until after driver departure removes a key witness and may violate carrier requirements for noting exceptions at delivery. The correct sequence is: verify against documents, inspect for condition/quantity, record exceptions, and only then proceed to acceptance/vehicle release. This process protects financial recovery and maintains clean inventory records.

Answer : A

In transportation and storage planning, evaluating weight limits involves considering the weight of the product, packaging materials, pallets, and even fuel to avoid exceeding vehicle or racking limits. ''Stock'' is a general term for inventory quantity, not a weight-related concern. CLT 4.0 stresses that exceeding legal load or rack weight limits can lead to safety violations, equipment failure, or structural damage. Therefore, logistics personnel must calculate total load weight---including cargo, fuel, and vehicle weight---to comply with DOT and OSHA safety regulations. Ignoring these limits risks fines, product damage, or workplace injury.

Answer : B

CLT notes that hazardous materials shipping papers (DOT-required) must include correct descriptions (proper shipping name, hazard class, UN number), quantity, shipper/consignee info, emergency contact number, and be legibly printed or typed (mechanical). The requirement is primarily English for U.S. domestic shipments; many rules require English and Spanish, but the core regulatory requirement is legibility, not necessarily exclusively English text. Thus ''text in English'' is not an unconditional exception, but among those listed, ''text in English'' is the least direct regulatory requirement compared to accurate description, emergency contact, and legibility.

===========

Answer : D

The CLT ''Receive products'' activities require verifying shipments against ordering documents. The packing list (or ASN detail) is checked against the purchase order to confirm that the items, quantities, and units of measure received match what was ordered and authorized. This verification step underpins inventory and financial accuracy and precedes acceptance, staging, and putaway. Matching a packing list to an invoice is an accounting three-way match task, not a receiving floor responsibility. Selecting carriers or determining how much to purchase are procurement/transport decisions made before arrival. By aligning received quantities with the PO, the warehouse ensures correct receipts, initiates discrepancy handling for shortages/overages, and updates inventory records accordingly.
