What is the difference between Warp LTL and the other carriers on Warp?
Warp LTL is Warp's own all inclusive hub-and-spoke LTL carrier service. The other carriers on the platform are major LTL providers you can also book on Warp at FAK negotiated rates: national carriers like XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, Estes Express, Saia, FedEx Freight, ABF Freight, R+L Carriers, TForce Freight, and Forward Air, plus regional specialists like Pitt Ohio, Averitt Express, AAA Cooper, Ward Trucking, Dohrn Transfer, Daylight Transport, and 19+ more across the network. Warp LTL usually has the lowest all in cost on San Francisco to Tampa because the rate at booking equals the rate invoiced. The carrier options give you flexibility when you prefer a specific provider for service level or transit reasons. One signup, one invoice, one point of accountability across all of them.
What are FAK rates on Warp?
FAK stands for Freight All Kinds. It is a single negotiated rate that applies regardless of the commodity's freight class, typically 15 to 25% lower than class based rates. Direct LTL carriers usually reserve FAK pricing for shippers with $1M+ annual spend. Warp negotiates FAK rates with every major LTL carrier on the platform and passes them through to every shipper, starting from the first booking. That means a small business shipping its first pallet on Warp gets the same FAK rates as an enterprise shipper moving thousands.

Why Shippers Choose Warp on San Francisco to Tampa
How Warp routes the San Francisco to Tampa lane
LTL freight from San Francisco to Tampa
San Francisco to Tampa is served by 19 carriers in the Warp network.
Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $691 to $889 per pallet with transit times of 4 to 5 days.
Warp prices this lane at $402 per pallet with 5-day transit through the Los Angeles cross-dock facility.
The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most complex freight delivery environments in the country.
Dense urban cores in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, a fragmented freeway network, bridge tolls and restrictions, and the most stringent commercial vehicle regulations in the US create a freight delivery challenge that national LTL carriers routinely underestimate.
Tampa Bay is Florida's second-largest metro and its primary logistics hub on the Gulf Coast side.
The Port of Tampa Bay is the largest port in Florida by tonnage, handling phosphate, automobiles, bulk cargo, and containers.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from San Francisco to Tampa
A single pallet moving from San Francisco to Tampa over 2,832 miles emits approximately 175 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 4,560 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 18 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).
