Nationwide per-pallet LTL. One quote, one invoice, one tracking experience.

How Warp LTL works

When you quote an LTL shipment, Warp routes it through whichever path is cheapest and fastest for your lane.

On dense corridors, freight moves through Warp's own cross-dock network: a local carrier picks up using the Warp driver app, the freight is sorted at a Warp cross-dock, line-hauled to a destination cross-dock, and delivered with proof-of-delivery photos and e-signature.

On lanes outside the core cross-dock network, your shipment moves on a vetted legacy carrier at FAK-negotiated rates Warp has secured.

Same quote tool, same invoice, same dashboard — Warp picks the path, you see one number.

Cross-dock routing on dense corridors

Where Warp owns end-to-end execution, freight moves through 50+ purpose-built cross-dock facilities instead of legacy terminal networks.

Cross-dock facilities are designed for flow: freight arrives, gets sorted, and moves out, typically 1-2 handoffs instead of the 3-5 touches a terminal-network shipment gets.

That structural difference is where the 24% per-pallet cost advantage and the 31% damage reduction come from.

Services at each facility include cross-docking, pick and pack, transloading, devanning, and sortation. Every pallet is scanned in and scanned out with real-time visibility in your dashboard.

Comprehensive US coverage via FAK partner carriers

For lanes outside Warp's cross-dock corridors, Warp routes shipments through a network of vetted legacy carriers at FAK (Freight All Kinds) rates Warp has negotiated.

FAK pricing means you skip the freight-class lookup and reclassification disputes — one rate covers the shipment regardless of NMFC code.

Carriers in this part of the network are vetted for safety record, insurance, and on-time performance, and managed through the same Warp platform: same quoting, same tracking, same invoicing as the cross-dock-routed freight.

The result is full nationwide coverage with consolidated billing and a single point of accountability.

Technology on every LTL shipment

Pickup and delivery carriers use the Warp driver app for live GPS, scan events, and e-signatures. Line-haul drivers have ELD integrations. At cross-dock facilities, pallets are tracked with scan-in/scan-out and real-time monitoring. Orbit flags late pickups, missing scans, dwell anomalies, and delivery exceptions before your team has to chase them.

Your TMS gets scan events and status updates through Warp API integrations.

Hot Swap Coverage

When a carrier fails on an LTL load, a no-show, a late departure beyond threshold, or a mechanical failure, Hot Swap Coverage activates automatically.

Orbit detects the exception and Warp reassigns a replacement carrier from the network without waiting for your team to escalate.

The replacement carrier picks up from the same location or the nearest cross-dock facility, and the shipment continues with full visibility.

You see the swap in your dashboard and receive a status update via API webhook. No phone calls, no scrambling for backup capacity.

Multi-carrier rate comparison

When you quote an LTL shipment through self-serve, Warp returns rates from multiple carriers in the network side by side, including Warp's own fleet and national carriers depending on the lane and mode.

You see carrier name, rate, and transit time so you can make an informed decision. This is not a single-carrier quote tool, it is a multi-carrier rate comparison built into the booking flow.

For enterprise programs, carrier assignment runs through structured bid sessions where Warp's carrier network submits competitive bids on your lanes programmatically.

Cargo protection

Every Warp LTL shipment includes Carmack Amendment carrier liability up to $100,000 plus a $75K FMCSA surety bond at no extra cost.

For higher-value freight, Warp offers optional Falvey cargo insurance as an add-on directly in the booking flow.

Add coverage up to $1M per shipment with one click at checkout, the policy is issued instantly and the certificate is downloadable from your shipment detail page.

No separate application, no waiting for underwriting. The insurance processing fee and premium are shown transparently in the cost breakdown before you confirm the booking.

SLA tracking and performance management

Warp tracks On-Time Pickup and On-Time Delivery on every LTL shipment and publishes SLA compliance dashboards for your account.

Performance reports break down by lane, carrier, facility, and mode, so you see exactly where execution is strong and where it needs attention.

Orbit's AI monitoring flags SLA risks before they become misses, and carriers that underperform your thresholds are automatically removed from your lane assignments and replaced with higher-performing alternatives.

Pricing

Warp provides instant per-pallet rates through self-serve. Enter pallet count, weight, and dimensions, get a rate in seconds. For recurring volume, your Warp rep builds a custom rate sheet.

Rates are all-inclusive — pickup, handling, line haul, and delivery quoted upfront and held through invoice.

On Warp-routed corridors, the 24% cost advantage comes from fewer handling events, lower accessorials, and reduced damage claims.

On lanes routed through partner carriers, you get Warp-negotiated FAK pricing without the freight-class headaches that inflate direct-to-carrier quotes.
