Traditional carrier rates on this lane range from $439 to $899 per pallet with transit times of 2 to 6 days. Warp prices this lane at $260 per pallet with 3-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.
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 Washington to Tampa
A single pallet moving from Washington to Tampa over 907 miles emits approximately 56 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 1,460 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 6 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).
