# Gets an LTL Spot Quote

`POST /api/v1/LTLSpotQuotes`

Allows Shippers to retrieve a Less-Than-Truckload quote. Given a set of shipment attributes as input, Coyote will 
send back an LTL quote with an LTL spot quote ID (“ltlSpotQuoteId”). This quote includes the list of carriers and 
their respective quotes and is valid for 7 days. If you want to proceed with the quote and book a shipment, 
use our load build request endpoint and specify the Carrier Quote ID.\
*Note: Less-than-Truckload spot quotes are currently unsupported in Europe.\
Same day rate requests will be returned, however pickups may not be accommodated until next day pending carrier availability.*
