Same day expedited via cargo van and box truck
For freight that cannot wait, Warp dispatches same day from a network of 9,000+ box trucks and cargo vans across 50+ metro markets. Cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets. Every 26 foot box truck is liftgate equipped and handles 1 to 12 pallets. Local 3rd party carriers accept dispatch through the Warp driver app and pick up within hours. Live GPS tracking starts at pickup. Proof of delivery photos and e signatures confirm arrival. This is the fastest path for freight that needs to move today.
Priority cross dock routing for expedited LTL
When your LTL shipment needs to move faster than standard transit, Warp routes through cross dock facilities with priority handling. Freight is picked up by a local 3rd party carrier, scanned into the nearest cross dock, sorted ahead of standard volume, and loaded onto the first available line haul. At the destination cross dock, priority freight is sorted and dispatched for next day local delivery. This gives you next day LTL between adjacent markets without paying traditional guaranteed service premiums. Per pallet pricing, all inclusive.
Dedicated FTL for time critical loads
When a full truckload needs to move on a strict timeline, Warp assigns a dedicated truck from the network of 20,000+ vetted carriers. Every FTL carrier goes through authority verification, insurance validation, safety score review, and equipment inspection history checks. Dedicated FTL means one truck, one driver, no stops. ELD integrations provide continuous location data so you see exactly where your load is at all times. For recurring time critical lanes, Work Queue assigns consistent drivers who know your routes and your facilities.
Orbit monitors every expedited shipment
Our AI backbone, Orbit, processes continuous data from the Warp driver app, ELD integrations, and cross dock scan events to monitor every expedited shipment in real time. Orbit tracks pickup times against committed windows, monitors line haul progress against delivery deadlines, and flags any shipment at risk of missing its SLA. If a driver is running late, if a cross dock is processing slower than expected, or if weather is impacting a lane, Orbit identifies the risk and surfaces it before you have to chase it. For expedited freight where timing is everything, this proactive monitoring is the difference between a delivered load and a missed deadline.
All inclusive pricing with no expedite premiums
Traditional carriers add rush fees, guaranteed service surcharges, and expedite premiums that inflate the cost of time sensitive freight by 50% or more. Warp prices expedited shipments with the same all inclusive model used on every load. The price you see at booking covers pickup, handling, line haul, and delivery. No fuel surcharges tacked on after. No accessorial fees for liftgate or residential delivery. No expedite premium buried in the invoice. Whether you book same day cargo van or priority LTL through cross dock, the rate is transparent and final.
When to use each expedited option
Use cargo van for same day delivery of cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets within a metro market. Use box truck for same day delivery of 1 to 12 pallets to any location including those without loading docks. Use priority LTL for next day delivery between adjacent markets at per pallet rates. Use dedicated FTL for time critical full truckload lanes where you need one truck, one driver, and continuous ELD visibility. Your Warp dashboard shows available options for each shipment based on origin, destination, load size, and timeline.

About the Warp freight network
Warp is a technology-driven freight network that combines cargo van, box truck, LTL, and FTL capacity under one operating system. Shippers get instant rates, real-time tracking, and access to 50+ cross-dock facilities, 1,500+ active lanes, and 9,000+ cargo vans and box trucks nationwide. The network is supported by 10,000+ vetted carrier partners.
Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers. Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.
Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.
Warp operates across the contiguous United States with regional density in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors. Cross-dock facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Savannah, Orlando, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Columbus, Denver, New Orleans, and Milwaukee support faster transfers and fewer touches on recurring lanes.
Freight modes and vehicle types
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 450 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight. Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,200 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock. Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.
Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.
Cross-dock operations
Cross-docking at Warp facilities eliminates warehouse storage. Inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours. This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.
Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.
Enterprise freight programs
Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.
Self-serve freight quoting
The self-serve portal lets shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost. Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.
Industries and use cases
Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost. Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.
Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles. Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
