Who ships LTL from Newark — and what it actually costs
17 carriers serve LTL lanes originating from Newark, covering 60 destinations including Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and 57 more. The cheapest Warp lane from Newark is to Newark at $97 per pallet.
The longest lane to Boise runs $497.
Warp is the cheapest carrier by base rate on 47 of 60 lanes — and on every lane when you add the 30% surcharge factor that traditional carriers tack onto their invoices.
XPO Logistics vs Warp on Newark freight
XPO Logistics (CNWY) serves 162 lanes from Newark at an average base rate of $494. That base rate does not include fuel surcharges or accessorial fees.
Add the industry-standard 30% surcharge estimate and XPO Logistics's effective per-pallet cost rises to $642/pallet on a 4-pallet, 4,800 lb, class 70 shipment.
Warp quotes $291/pallet all-inclusive — pickup, cross-dock handling, line haul, and delivery included. No fuel surcharge line item, no liftgate fee, no limited access charge.
ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM INC tells a similar story: $574 base becomes $746/pallet after surcharges, serving 102 lanes.
Where Newark shippers save the most with Warp
Warp is the cheapest all-inclusive option on 47 of 60 lanes from Newark. The top savings lanes: Newark ($97), New York ($153), Philadelphia ($199), Washington ($204), Louisville ($213).
On these corridors, Warp's all-inclusive price undercuts what traditional carriers invoice after surcharges.
Average Warp transit from Newark is 4 days across all 60 lanes, with scan events and live GPS on every shipment.
How Warp moves LTL from Newark without a terminal network
Warp operates a cross-dock network, not a terminal network. Freight from Newark touches 1 to 2 Warp-operated facilities between origin and destination.
XPO Logistics routes the same shipment through 3 to 5 terminals. Each extra touch adds dock labor, forklift handling, and damage exposure. Warp's claim rate is 0.81% vs the 1.24% industry average.
Fewer touches also mean lower labor costs — which is how Warp absorbs fuel surcharges and accessorials into one all-inclusive rate.
National vs regional LTL carriers from Newark
National carriers serving Newark: XPO Logistics (162 lanes, $642/pallet after surcharges); ABF FREIGHT SYSTEM INC (102 lanes, $746/pallet after surcharges); FEDEX FREIGHT ECONOMY (104 lanes, $768/pallet after surcharges); FEDEX FREIGHT PRIORITY (104 lanes, $822/pallet after surcharges); ESTES (116 lanes, $845/pallet after surcharges); SAIA MOTOR FREIGHT LINE LLC (115 lanes, $954/pallet after surcharges); OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINE INC (60 lanes, $1193/pallet after surcharges).
These cover the most destinations but add 20–40% in surcharges to every invoice.
Regional specialists like STG LTL formerly Frontline Freight and JP Express cover 1 lane and 2 lanes respectively — lower base rates on specific corridors, but limited coverage.
Warp covers all 60 lanes with one all-inclusive rate. No need to split freight across carriers to get the best price on each corridor.

Freight modes and vehicle types
| Mode | Max payload | Max cube | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo van | 3,500 lbs | 400 cu ft | Time-sensitive, last-mile, light pallets |
| Box truck | 10,000 lbs | 1,500 cu ft | Regional distribution, no dock required |
| LTL | Per-pallet | Shared trailer | Lower per-pallet cost via cross-dock routing |
| Dry van / FTL | 42,000+ lbs | Full 53-ft trailer | High-volume lanes, recurring programs |
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.
Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 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.
- Atlanta — Southeast retail flow
- Chicago — Midwest manufacturing and replenishment
- Houston — Texas industrial distribution
- New York — dense Northeast delivery
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
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.
