How Warp routes the Baltimore to San Antonio lane
LTL freight from Baltimore to San Antonio
Baltimore to San Antonio is served by 13 carriers in the Warp network.

Baltimore is a port city with a local LTL market shaped by proximity to both the Port of Baltimore and the Washington DC metro directly to the south.
Local ltl Baltimore freight flows through a few distinct zones: the I-95 and I-695 industrial belt through Jessup, Halethorpe, and Arbutus on the southwest, where consumer goods and food distribution concentrate; the White Marsh and Essex corridor on the northeast side; and the Inner Harbor and Fells Point commercial zone, where hospitality and specialty retail accounts require tight delivery windows and smaller equipment.
San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and a critical node on the I-35 corridor connecting the Mexican border at Laredo to Austin, Dallas, and the Midwest.
The metro's freight character is shaped by that border proximity: post-clearance freight staging from Laredo, automotive supply for Toyota's Texas manufacturing plant in south San Antonio, and aerospace and defense supply for Port San Antonio are the defining verticals.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Baltimore to San Antonio
A single pallet moving from Baltimore to San Antonio over 1,639 miles emits approximately 102 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 2,639 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 10 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).
