LTL freight from Charlotte to Philadelphia

Charlotte to Philadelphia is served by 10 carriers in the Warp network.

Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $243 to $474 per pallet with transit times of 2 to 4 days.

Warp prices this lane at $297 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.

Philadelphia is the third-largest metro on the East Coast and a major freight hub on the I-95 corridor between New York and Baltimore.

The South Philadelphia food distribution complex is one of the largest regional produce and food markets on the East Coast, anchoring a significant local LTL demand stream for restaurants, grocers, and food service accounts across the metro.

Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Charlotte to Philadelphia

A single pallet moving from Charlotte to Philadelphia over 534 miles emits approximately 33 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 860 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 3 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).
