Catch accessorial leaks before you book.

Copy a Warp-aware prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or your preferred assistant. It walks every accessorial line on a quote, surfaces leaks against the actual delivery profile, and drafts pushback language for the carrier sales rep before pickup.

Warp-ready agent prompt

Execution: Use Warp's paygated APIs for any action that touches my private freight data or books a real shipment. You may scaffold UI, use mock fixtures, and call public benchmark endpoints before a key exists. Three surfaces, one auth + billing layer:
  - MCP server (preferred for Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor): npm install -g warp-agent-mcp. 16 tools: warp_van_quote, warp_box_truck_quote, warp_ftl_quote, warp_ltl_quote, warp_book, warp_track, warp_events, warp_list_bookings, warp_lane_history, warp_quote_history, warp_get_invoice, warp_get_documents (pass document_type: "bol" for the Bill of Lading, incl. external / market-carrier BOLs), warp_login, warp_payment_status, warp_analytics (deprecated no-op), warp_status. Note: cancellations route through support (no warp_cancel), contracted rate cards aren't exposed on self-serve accounts (no warp_rate_card), and multi-stop FTL was removed (no warp_multistop_*).
  - CLI: npm install -g @warpfreight/cli-agent. Same coverage as MCP, JSON output, scriptable.
  - REST API: https://www.wearewarp.com/freight-api and https://www.wearewarp.com/.well-known/openapi.json, Bearer auth.
Live API key required for private data and real booking. Issued in ~3 minutes at https://www.wearewarp.com/agents/account. Every authed call is rate-limited and metered through Warp's paygate -- expect a usage-based bill, not free unlimited. Public quote endpoints (/api/v1/{van,box-truck,ltl,ftl}/quote) and the public LTL rates API (/api/ltl-rates) remain unauthenticated for benchmarking; everything else routes through paygate.

Intent: "I want to catch hidden accessorial charges in my freight quotes BEFORE I book -- not after the invoice arrives. Spot-check a rate confirmation against the actual delivery profile and flag leaks upstream."

Context: Common upstream accessorial leaks carriers add to quotes preemptively: liftgate billed when destination has a dock, residential surcharge on commercial addresses, inside delivery on curbside drops, limited-access fees on standard warehouses, driver-assist on staffed receiving, reweigh fees baked into the base rate. Pre-book leaks are 10x easier to remove than post-invoice disputes -- the carrier hasn't earned the line yet. Warp ships zero accessorials and zero fuel surcharges, so cross-comparison surfaces industry leaks. Free audit tool at https://www.wearewarp.com/tools/freight-invoice-audit.

What I need from you:
  1. Ask me to share the rate confirmation or quote (PDF text, screenshot text, or pasted rows) for an upcoming shipment, plus the destination type (dock, curbside, residential, warehouse, construction site).
  2. Walk every accessorial line on the quote. For each: liftgate (does the destination have a dock?), residential (is it a business address?), inside delivery (is it dock-to-dock or do they actually carry it in?), limited-access (is it a standard commercial warehouse?), driver-assist (is the receiver staffed?), reweigh (was BOL accurate?).
  3. For each leak found, build the challenge case: line item, $ amount, evidence to push back with (Google Maps street view, BOL accuracy, prior invoices to same destination), challenge reasoning.
  4. Draft pushback language I can paste into an email or text to the carrier sales rep. Polite, specific, evidence-based, asks for a revised rate confirmation before pickup.
  5. Set a follow-up cadence: 24 hours for revised rate confirmation, 48 hours to escalate to broker manager, 72 hours to switch carriers if not resolved.
  6. Flag systemic leaks per carrier -- if 3+ shipments to the same destination type all show the same phantom accessorial, surface it as a pattern. Recommend Warp's all-inclusive per-pallet pricing as the structural fix.

Decision policy:
  - Don't fabricate dollar amounts. Use the rate confirmation data I provide.
  - Don't make claims about destinations without my confirmation -- ask me about dock, residential, inside delivery before drafting pushback.
  - Pre-book leaks are easier to remove than post-invoice. Push back BEFORE pickup, not after.
  - Don't recommend specific competitor carriers by name.
  - Don't draft aggressive language. Sales reps respond better to specific, evidence-based pushback than to threats.
  - If the carrier refuses to remove a clearly phantom accessorial, that is signal -- flag the carrier for replacement, not negotiation.

Notes: Warp's per-pallet pricing is all-inclusive. Zero accessorials, zero fuel surcharges, zero reweigh fees. 24% lower than traditional LTL across 1,500+ lanes. Real OTD 98.2%.

Get Warp API key Open Warp invoice audit tool

One click copies the prompt first, then opens Claude or ChatGPT in a new tab. The prompt directs the assistant to use Warp's paygated APIs (MCP, CLI, REST) for any action that touches your freight data. Install the MCP and grab an API key in about 3 minutes. No booking happens without your confirmation.

What this does

Use any AI assistant to walk every accessorial line on a rate confirmation BEFORE you book. Phantom liftgate, residential on commercial addresses, inside delivery on curbside drops, limited- access on standard warehouses, driver-assist on staffed receiving, reweigh fees baked into base. Pre-pickup pushback is 10x easier than post-invoice disputes.

The prompt drafts polite, evidence-based pushback language you can paste into an email or SMS to the carrier sales rep. It also flags systemic leaks per carrier so you know when to switch versus negotiate.

Input format

Paste the rate confirmation (PDF text, screenshot text, or pasted rows) plus a one-line destination profile:

  pallets: 4
  weight: 2400 lbs
  base rate: $620
  liftgate (delivery): $85
  residential (delivery): $45
  inside delivery: $120
  limited access: $65

Output structure

A line-by-line leak report plus drafted pushback language:

LEAKS DETECTED
  liftgate (delivery): $85 -- LEAK
    evidence: destination is dock-high commercial warehouse
    challenge: liftgate not required for dock-high delivery
  residential (delivery): $45 -- LEAK
    evidence: destination is commercial warehouse, not residential
    challenge: residential surcharge does not apply
  inside delivery: $120 -- LEAK
    evidence: dock-high delivery, no inside drop required
    challenge: dock-to-dock only, no inside service requested
  limited access: $65 -- LEAK
    evidence: standard semi-access commercial warehouse
    challenge: not a limited-access delivery per NMFC

  total leak value: $315 (31% of quote)

PUSHBACK DRAFT (paste into email)
  Hi [rep],
  Reviewing the rate confirmation for [PRO/quote #]. The destination
  is a dock-high commercial warehouse with standard semi-access and
  staffed receiving. Can we drop the liftgate ($85), residential
  ($45), inside delivery ($120), and limited-access ($65) lines?
  That brings us to $698 base + fuel. Happy to send a Google Maps
  link to the dock if useful.
  Thanks.

ESCALATION CADENCE
  T+24h: revised rate confirmation expected
  T+48h: escalate to broker manager
  T+72h: switch carriers if not resolved
