Warp prices this lane at $256 per pallet with 4-day transit through the Tampa Bay cross-dock facility. 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.
Milwaukee is Wisconsin's largest city and a major freight hub on Lake Michigan, positioned on I-94 between Chicago and Green Bay.
The city's industrial heritage runs through manufacturing, food and beverage processing (including Harley-Davidson, Molson Coors, and a strong dairy and food processing base), and healthcare.
Carbon footprint of LTL freight from Tampa to Milwaukee
A single pallet moving from Tampa to Milwaukee over 1,227 miles emits approximately 76 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 1,975 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 8 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).
