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 20+ more across the network. Warp LTL usually has the lowest all in cost on Washington to Philadelphia 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.

LTL freight from Washington to Philadelphia

Washington to Philadelphia is served by 20 carriers in the Warp network.

Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $226 to $389 per pallet with transit times of 1 to 2 days. Warp prices this lane at $223 per pallet with 2-day transit.

Washington DC is one of the most complex commercial delivery environments in the country.

The District has commercial vehicle weight restrictions that limit many deliveries to box trucks and cargo vans, time-of-day rules in the downtown core, and permit requirements for recurring deliveries to certain zones.

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 Washington to Philadelphia

A single pallet moving from Washington to Philadelphia over 137 miles emits approximately 9 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 221 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 1 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).
