Why Shippers Choose Warp on Dallas to San Antonio
How Warp routes the Dallas to San Antonio lane
LTL freight from Dallas to San Antonio
Dallas to San Antonio is served by 14 carriers in the Warp network. Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $162 to $268 per pallet with transit times of 1 to 2 days.
Warp prices this lane at $309 per pallet with 1-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. San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and a critical node on the I-35 corridor connecting the Mexican border at Laredo to Austin, Dallas, and the Midwest.
The metro's freight character is shaped by that border proximity: post-clearance freight staging from Laredo, automotive supply for Toyota's Texas manufacturing plant in south San Antonio, and aerospace and defense supply for Port San Antonio are the defining verticals.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Dallas to San Antonio
A single pallet moving from Dallas to San Antonio over 273 miles emits approximately 17 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 440 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 2 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).
