LTL freight from Chicago to Greensboro

Warp prices this lane at $294 per pallet with 3-day transit through the Chicago cross-dock facility. Chicago is the largest inland freight hub in North America.
Seven Class I railroads terminate here, and the highway grid funnels I-80, I-90, I-94, I-55, and I-290 into a dense urban core with some of the most complex dock access conditions in the country.
Greensboro anchors the Carolina Piedmont Triad, a three-city metro that also includes Winston-Salem and High Point.
The I-40 and I-85 intersection at Greensboro makes it one of the most important freight crossroads in the Southeast, and Piedmont Triad International Airport adds cargo handling capacity to an already freight-dense market.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Chicago to Greensboro
A single pallet moving from Chicago to Greensboro over 721 miles emits approximately 45 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 1,161 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 5 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).
