Warp prices this lane at $360 per pallet with 4-day transit through the Charlotte cross-dock facility. Charlotte is the commercial hub of the Carolinas and one of the most active freight markets in the Southeast.
I-77, I-85, and I-485 converge here, and the metro houses major distribution operations for retail, food and beverage, and consumer goods serving a multi-state region.
Laredo is the largest US-Mexico land port by freight value, processing more cross-border trade than any other port of entry in the country. The local freight market here is almost entirely defined by cross-border trade logistics.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Charlotte to Laredo
A single pallet moving from Charlotte to Laredo over 1,386 miles emits approximately 86 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 2,231 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 9 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).
