What is the difference between Warp LTL and the other carriers on Warp?

Warp LTL is Warp's own all inclusive hub-and-spoke LTL carrier service. The other carriers on the platform are major LTL providers you can also book on Warp at FAK negotiated rates: national carriers like XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, Estes Express, Saia, FedEx Freight, ABF Freight, R+L Carriers, TForce Freight, and Forward Air, plus regional specialists like Pitt Ohio, Averitt Express, AAA Cooper, Ward Trucking, Dohrn Transfer, Daylight Transport, and 18+ more across the network. Warp LTL usually has the lowest all in cost on Atlanta to Columbus because the rate at booking equals the rate invoiced. The carrier options give you flexibility when you prefer a specific provider for service level or transit reasons. One signup, one invoice, one point of accountability across all of them.

What are FAK rates on Warp?

FAK stands for Freight All Kinds. It is a single negotiated rate that applies regardless of the commodity's freight class, typically 15 to 25% lower than class based rates. Direct LTL carriers usually reserve FAK pricing for shippers with $1M+ annual spend. Warp negotiates FAK rates with every major LTL carrier on the platform and passes them through to every shipper, starting from the first booking. That means a small business shipping its first pallet on Warp gets the same FAK rates as an enterprise shipper moving thousands.

Warp prices this lane at $236 per pallet with 1-day transit through the Atlanta cross-dock facility.

Atlanta is the distribution capital of the Southeast.

I-75, I-85, I-20, and I-285 converge here, and the metro houses distribution centers for dozens of national retailers, food chains, and consumer goods companies.

Columbus is the fastest-growing major city in the Midwest and one of the most important freight markets in the country.

I-70 and I-71 intersect here, and the Rickenbacker International Airport logistics zone on the southeast side hosts one of the highest concentrations of e-commerce fulfillment and distribution infrastructure in North America.

Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Atlanta to Columbus

A single pallet moving from Atlanta to Columbus over 558 miles emits approximately 35 kg CO2e via Warp cross-dock LTL — your pallet's 1 of 26 share of a 53ft dry van on the linehaul leg.

The same truck fully loaded emits about 898 kg CO2e on this corridor, which is what a dedicated FTL move would cost at the same mileage regardless of how many pallets ride.

Figures use EPA SmartWay emission factors and cover tank-to-wheel fuel combustion at typical payload.

For a recurring program at 100 pallets per year on this lane, the attributed LTL emissions are approximately 4 metric tons CO2e.

These numbers are suitable for Scope 3 Category 4 estimation under the GHG Protocol; see the Warp carbon methodology page for assumptions, sources, and what is excluded (pickup and delivery legs, empty-mile variance, well-to-tank upstream fuel, vehicle embodied emissions).
