Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $210 to $461 per pallet with transit times of 1 to 4 days. Warp prices this lane at $265 per pallet with 4-day transit.

The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the Southeast and a major hub for life sciences, technology, and research.

Research Triangle Park anchors demand for laboratory supplies, pharmaceutical cold chain, and IT equipment freight from a world-class research and corporate campus.

Philadelphia is the third-largest metro on the East Coast and a major freight hub on the I-95 corridor between New York and Baltimore.

The South Philadelphia food distribution complex is one of the largest regional produce and food markets on the East Coast, anchoring a significant local LTL demand stream for restaurants, grocers, and food service accounts across the metro.

Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Raleigh to Philadelphia

A single pallet moving from Raleigh to Philadelphia over 398 miles emits approximately 25 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 641 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 3 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).
