V-twin engine 75° crank pin offset for the rest of the world. Generally, a two-cylinder engine with the cylinders arranged at any angle greater than zero degrees and less than 180 degrees may be classified as a V-twin, although an angle that approaches zero is not practical. Despite Ducati referring to its 90 degree twin cylinder engine as an "L-twin"—with the front cylinder nearly horizontal and the rear cylinder almost vertical, there is no technical distinction between V-twin and L-twin engines. Assuming correct counterweighting, a 90 degree V-twin will achieve perfect primary balance. However, the 90 degree layout will produce an uneven
Less than truckload shipping Less than truckload shipping Less than truckload shipping or less than load (LTL) is the transportation of relatively small freight. The alternatives to LTL carriers are parcel carriers or full truckload carriers. Parcel carriers usually handle small packages and freight that can be broken down into units less than . Full truckload carriers move freight that is loaded into a semi-trailer. Semi-trailers are typically between and require a substantial amount of freight to make such transportation economical. There are several different perspectives as to what is actually considered LTL. Full Truck Load carriers can put anywhere from 2 to 6
