How Warp freight rates work
Warp rates are structured differently from traditional freight carriers. Every rate is all inclusive. When you get a Warp quote, the price covers pickup by a local 3rd party carrier, cross dock handling at a Warp facility, line haul transport, and final delivery. There are no fuel surcharges tacked on after booking. No accessorial fees for liftgate, residential delivery, or inside pickup. No terminal handling charges that inflate your invoice weeks after the shipment delivers. You see the total cost before you book, and that is what you pay. For self serve shippers, rates are instant. Enter your shipment details and get pricing in seconds. For enterprise programs with recurring volume, your Warp rep builds a custom rate card with contracted pricing on your lanes.
LTL per pallet rates
Warp LTL is priced per pallet, not by freight class or NMFC code. Enter your pallet count, weight, and dimensions and get an instant rate. The per pallet price includes pickup from your facility, scan events at every handoff, routing through a Warp cross dock facility where freight is sorted and consolidated, line haul to the destination cross dock, and local delivery with proof of delivery photos and e signature. Because Warp routes through cross dock facilities instead of legacy terminal networks, your freight goes through 1 to 2 handoffs instead of 3 to 5. Fewer touches mean lower damage rates, fewer reweigh disputes, and a cleaner cost structure. The 24% cost advantage over traditional LTL carriers like Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, XPO, and Saia comes directly from this operational efficiency.
FTL per load rates
Warp full truckload rates are quoted per load with no hidden line items. Dry van, refrigerated, and flatbed capacity is available through 20,000+ vetted carriers in the network. Every FTL carrier goes through Warp safety and quality vetting: authority verification, insurance validation, safety score review, equipment inspection history, and operating record checks. Carriers with poor safety records or lapsed insurance are blocked from the platform. For spot loads, get an instant rate through self serve. For recurring FTL programs, Warp builds dedicated lane programs with committed capacity, consistent pricing, and assigned carriers through Work Queue. FTL programs average 27% lower costs compared to traditional brokerage on replaced lanes.
Box truck and cargo van rates
Box truck and cargo van rates follow the same all inclusive structure. Warp dispatches from a network of 9,000+ box trucks and cargo vans operated by local 3rd party carriers. Every 26 foot box truck is liftgate equipped and handles 1 to 12 pallets. Cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets for tight access locations like urban storefronts, residential addresses, and height restricted buildings. Pricing is per pallet for box trucks and per load for cargo vans. All rates include the Warp driver app with live GPS, scan events, proof of delivery photos, and e signatures. Temperature controlled box trucks are available for food, pharma, and perishable freight at quoted rates with no separate reefer surcharge.
Why Warp rates are lower
The cost advantage is structural, not promotional. Traditional LTL carriers operate terminal networks built decades ago where freight is unloaded, staged, reloaded, and sits on docks at each terminal. Every touch adds cost: labor, equipment, facility overhead, and damage risk. Warp cross dock facilities are designed for flow. Freight arrives, gets sorted, and moves out. This means fewer handling events, lower facility costs, and significantly reduced damage claims. On the pricing side, Warp eliminates the surcharge model entirely. Traditional carriers publish a base rate and then add fuel surcharges, accessorial fees, residential surcharges, liftgate fees, and terminal handling charges that can inflate the final invoice 20 to 40% above the quoted rate. Warp quotes one number. That number includes everything.
Enterprise contracted rates
Enterprise shippers with recurring volume on consistent corridors qualify for Warp enterprise rate programs. Your Warp rep analyzes your lane data, volume patterns, and service requirements to build a contracted rate card. Rates are locked for the contract period with no mid term surcharge adjustments. Enterprise programs include dedicated carrier assignment through Work Queue, which puts the same drivers on your routes for consistency and familiarity with your facilities. Carrier performance is tracked on every load: on time pickup, on time delivery, damage rates, and communication responsiveness. Underperforming carriers are automatically removed from your lane assignments and replaced with higher performing alternatives. Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors every shipment for SLA compliance and flags exceptions before your team has to chase them.
How to get a freight rate
Getting a Warp freight rate takes seconds through self serve. Go to any quote page, enter your origin, destination, pallet count, weight, and dimensions, and get instant multi carrier pricing. For LTL, you see rates from multiple carriers side by side with carrier name, rate, and transit time. For FTL, you get instant spot rates or can request a custom rate card for recurring lanes. For box truck and cargo van, enter your load details and dispatch same day. No callbacks, no waiting for a rep to email you a rate 24 hours later. Every rate is live and bookable. For enterprise volumes or complex programs like pool distribution, zone skipping, or inbound vendor consolidation, contact your Warp rep or book a meeting to discuss contracted pricing.

Rates are locked for the contract period with no mid term surcharge adjustments. Contact your Warp rep or book a meeting to set up an enterprise program.

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.
