McAllen sits at the southern tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, directly across from Reynosa, Mexico.
The Pharr-Reynosa and McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa international bridges are major cross-border freight corridors for produce, maquiladora output, and automotive components from Baja California and Tamaulipas manufacturing.
Charleston is one of the fastest-growing port cities on the East Coast, and its local LTL market reflects both the port influence and a rapidly expanding residential and commercial base.
The Port of Charleston consistently ranks among the top ten US container ports, and container-to-local distribution along I-26 and I-526 drives a significant share of local freight.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Mcallen to Charleston
A single pallet moving from Mcallen to Charleston over 1,415 miles emits approximately 88 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 2,278 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 9 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).
