The District has commercial vehicle weight restrictions that limit many deliveries to box trucks and cargo vans, time-of-day rules in the downtown core, and permit requirements for recurring deliveries to certain zones.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Cincinnati to Washington
A single pallet moving from Cincinnati to Washington over 502 miles emits approximately 31 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 808 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).
