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.

Columbus is the fastest-growing major city in the Midwest and one of the most important freight markets in the country.

I-70 and I-71 intersect here, and the Rickenbacker International Airport logistics zone on the southeast side hosts one of the highest concentrations of e-commerce fulfillment and distribution infrastructure in North America.

Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Mcallen to Columbus

A single pallet moving from Mcallen to Columbus over 1,539 miles emits approximately 95 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 2,478 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 10 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).
