Why Shippers Choose Warp on Los Angeles to Dayton
How Warp routes the Los Angeles to Dayton lane
LTL freight from Los Angeles to Dayton
Los Angeles to Dayton is served by 13 carriers in the Warp network. Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $448 to $666 per pallet with transit times of 3 to 7 days.
Warp prices this lane at $338 per pallet with 5-day transit through the Los Angeles cross-dock facility. Los Angeles is the entry point for nearly 40 percent of US container imports, and the local LTL market reflects that scale.
The I-710 corridor from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach into Vernon, Compton, and the City of Industry carries the highest concentration of short-haul freight in the country.
Dayton is positioned on I-75 midway between Cincinnati and Toledo, with I-70 crossing east toward Columbus and west toward Indianapolis.
That intersection makes it a logical distribution staging point for the western Ohio manufacturing and retail corridor.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Los Angeles to Dayton
A single pallet moving from Los Angeles to Dayton over 2,181 miles emits approximately 135 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 3,511 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 14 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).
