LTL freight from Seattle to San Francisco

Seattle to San Francisco is served by 12 carriers in the Warp network.

Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $337 to $559 per pallet with transit times of 2 to 5 days.

Warp prices this lane at $287 per pallet with 5-day transit through the Seattle cross-dock facility.

Seattle is the major freight port of the Pacific Northwest and one of the most complex urban delivery environments in the country.

The port handles significant container volumes from Asia, and the local distribution ecosystem supports Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, and a dense food and restaurant industry.

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.

Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Seattle to San Francisco

A single pallet moving from Seattle to San Francisco over 808 miles emits approximately 50 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 1,301 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 5 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).
