How Warp LTL rates work
Warp LTL rates are calculated per pallet based on weight, dimensions, and distance. There are no freight class lookups, no NMFC codes, and no density calculators.
Enter your pallet count, weight, and dimensions into the Warp platform and get a live all inclusive rate in seconds.
That rate covers pickup by a local 3rd party carrier using the Warp driver app, routing through a Warp operated cross dock facility, line haul to the destination market, and final delivery with proof of delivery photos and electronic signatures.
The number you see is the number you pay.
Why Warp LTL rates are lower than traditional carriers
Traditional LTL carriers like Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, XPO, and Saia operate terminal networks where freight touches 3 to 5 facilities between origin and destination.
Every terminal adds dock labor, forklift handling, facility overhead, and damage exposure. Then they add fuel surcharges that fluctuate weekly, accessorial fees for liftgate or residential delivery, and terminal handling charges at every stop.
Warp routes freight through cross dock facilities designed for flow. Your shipment touches 1 to 2 facilities instead of 3 to 5. Fewer touches mean lower labor costs, less equipment wear, and fewer damage claims.
The savings go directly into lower per pallet rates for shippers.
All inclusive pricing with no hidden fees
Every Warp LTL rate includes pickup, cross dock handling, line haul, and delivery. There are no fuel surcharges, no accessorial fees, no liftgate charges, no residential surcharges, and no terminal handling charges.
Traditional carriers quote a base rate that looks competitive, then inflate the final invoice 20 to 40% with surcharges. A shipment quoted at $400 lands on your invoice at $550 or more. Warp quotes one number. That number is final.
For shippers moving 10 or more LTL shipments per week, the surcharge elimination alone saves thousands of dollars per month.
Live rate data on every lane
Warp publishes rate data on every active lane in the network. Each lane page shows the current Warp rate, rates from 10 to 12 competing carriers with SCAC codes, transit times, and a rate history showing how pricing has changed over time.
This is not a rate estimator or a range. It is actual pricing based on real shipment data. Shippers can compare Warp rates against Old Dominion, FedEx Freight, Saia, XPO, Estes, and other carriers lane by lane before booking.
Contracted rates for recurring volume
Shippers with recurring LTL volume qualify for contracted rate programs. A Warp rep analyzes your lane data and volume patterns to build a custom rate card with locked per pallet pricing on your specific lanes.
Enterprise programs include dedicated carrier assignment through Work Queue, performance tracking that removes underperforming carriers automatically, and TMS integration via API that pushes scan events, GPS updates, and delivery confirmations directly into your systems.
How to get the best LTL rate
Start with accurate shipment details. Enter correct pallet count, weight, and dimensions on the Warp self serve platform to get an instant all inclusive quote.
Compare that rate against your current carrier invoices, but make sure to include the surcharges your current carrier adds after the fact. Warp rates include everything.
For recurring lanes, contact a Warp rep to build contracted pricing that locks your per pallet cost. Shippers who move volume consistently on the same lanes get the best rates because density drives Warp pricing down over time.

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 20,000+ 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 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.
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.
