What is the difference between Warp LTL and the other carriers on Warp?

Warp LTL is Warp's own all inclusive hub-and-spoke LTL carrier service. The other carriers on the platform are major LTL providers you can also book on Warp at FAK negotiated rates: national carriers like XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, Estes Express, Saia, FedEx Freight, ABF Freight, R+L Carriers, TForce Freight, and Forward Air, plus regional specialists like Pitt Ohio, Averitt Express, AAA Cooper, Ward Trucking, Dohrn Transfer, Daylight Transport, and 18+ more across the network. Warp LTL usually has the lowest all in cost on Dallas to Kansas City because the rate at booking equals the rate invoiced. The carrier options give you flexibility when you prefer a specific provider for service level or transit reasons. One signup, one invoice, one point of accountability across all of them.

What are FAK rates on Warp?

FAK stands for Freight All Kinds. It is a single negotiated rate that applies regardless of the commodity's freight class, typically 15 to 25% lower than class based rates. Direct LTL carriers usually reserve FAK pricing for shippers with $1M+ annual spend. Warp negotiates FAK rates with every major LTL carrier on the platform and passes them through to every shipper, starting from the first booking. That means a small business shipping its first pallet on Warp gets the same FAK rates as an enterprise shipper moving thousands.

LTL freight from Dallas to Kansas City

Dallas to Kansas City is served by 18 carriers in the Warp network.

Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $243 to $294 per pallet with transit times of 1 to 3 days.

Warp prices this lane at $266 per pallet with 3-day transit through the Dallas-Fort Worth cross-dock facility.

Dallas sits at the junction of I-35, I-20, I-30, and I-635, which makes it one of the most carrier-dense freight markets in the country. That density is a double-edged sword for local LTL shippers.

Kansas City is one of the largest rail and road freight hubs in North America, positioned at the intersection of I-70 and I-35 with I-29 extending north and I-49 south.

Two major BNSF and Union Pacific intermodal facilities anchor the rail-to-truck transfer market, and the metro's cross-dock infrastructure is well developed as a result.
