Why traditional carriers penalize small shipments
Traditional LTL carriers are built around terminal consolidation. Their economics work best when trailers are full. A single pallet on a trailer that holds 26 is inefficient for their model. So they charge minimums, small shipment surcharges, and weight based premiums that make shipping 1 or 2 pallets disproportionately expensive. Many carriers have a 150 lb minimum charge regardless of actual weight. Some charge a minimum of 500 lbs. Others apply a "minimum charge" line item that effectively doubles the per pallet rate for small shipments. This punishes shippers who need to move small quantities.
Warp has no minimums on any mode
Warp prices freight per pallet with no minimum pallet count and no minimum weight. Ship 1 pallet and pay the per pallet rate. Ship 12 pallets and pay the per pallet rate. The pricing is linear and predictable. There is no small shipment surcharge. There is no minimum charge. A cargo van can pick up a single pallet, a few cartons, or a handful of cases and deliver same day in your metro. A box truck can pick up 1 pallet and deliver with liftgate to a location without a dock. The network of 9,000+ box trucks and cargo vans makes small shipment capacity readily available.
Cargo van for the smallest freight
Cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets. This is the right vehicle for small freight that does not warrant a box truck. A single pallet of samples going to a showroom. A few cases of product for a pop up store. Emergency replenishment of a dozen cartons to a retail location. Cargo van pricing is per load, all inclusive. Same day dispatch is available in 50+ metro markets. You do not need to consolidate your small freight with other shippers to make the economics work. Warp dispatches a cargo van for your load alone.
Box truck for 1 to 12 pallets
When your small shipment is palletized, Warp dispatches a 26 foot box truck. Every box truck is liftgate equipped and handles 1 to 12 pallets. Whether you ship 1 pallet or 12, the rate is per pallet and all inclusive. There is no minimum pallet count. A single pallet delivery by box truck gets the same service as a full load: live GPS through the Warp driver app, scan events at pickup and delivery, proof of delivery photos, and e signatures. Traditional carriers would quote this as an expensive LTL shipment with surcharges. Warp quotes it as 1 pallet at the per pallet rate.
Per pallet pricing that makes small shipments viable
The Warp per pallet pricing model is what makes small shipments economical. Instead of freight class based rates with minimum charges, Warp prices by pallet count, weight, and dimensions. A 1 pallet shipment gets a clear per pallet rate. A 2 pallet shipment gets the same per pallet rate times 2. No minimum charge line items inflating the cost. No reclass adjustments after delivery. No weight based premiums for being under a threshold. The rate includes pickup, transport, liftgate delivery where applicable, and proof of delivery. All inclusive from 1 pallet up.
No minimum does not mean no quality
Some shippers worry that a no minimum carrier cuts corners on small shipments. Warp applies the same technology and quality standards to a 1 pallet cargo van delivery as it does to a 12 pallet box truck run or a full truckload move. Live GPS tracking through the Warp driver app. Scan events at every handoff. Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors SLA compliance on every load regardless of size. Proof of delivery photos and e signatures document every delivery. The no minimum model means accessibility. It does not mean reduced service.
Frequently asked questions
Does Warp have a minimum shipment size?

How much does it cost to ship 1 pallet with Warp?
Warp prices per pallet with all inclusive rates. The 1 pallet rate covers pickup, transport, liftgate delivery where needed, and proof of delivery. Enter your shipment details for an instant rate. No minimum charge and no small shipment premium.
Can I ship just a few cartons without a pallet?
Yes. Cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets. You do not need to palletize small freight. A cargo van picks up your cartons and delivers same day in your metro.
Do small shipments get the same tracking as large ones?
Yes. Every Warp shipment regardless of size includes live GPS through the Warp driver app, scan events, proof of delivery photos, and e signatures. Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors SLA compliance on every load.
Why do traditional carriers charge more for small shipments?
Traditional LTL carriers are optimized for full trailers routed through terminal networks. Small shipments are inefficient for this model, so carriers apply minimum charges, small shipment surcharges, and weight based premiums. Warp dispatches dedicated vehicles per load, so 1 pallet is served the same as 12.
Is no minimum shipping available same day?
Yes. Same day cargo van and box truck dispatch is available in 50+ metro markets. Ship 1 pallet or a few cartons same day with all inclusive pricing and no rush fees.
About the Warp freight network
Warp is a technology-driven freight network that combines cargo van, box truck, LTL, and FTL capacity under one operating system. Shippers get instant rates, real-time tracking, and access to 50+ cross-dock facilities, 1,500+ active lanes, and 9,000+ cargo vans and box trucks nationwide. The network is supported by 10,000+ vetted carrier partners.
Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers. Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.
Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.
Warp operates across the contiguous United States with regional density in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors. Cross-dock facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Savannah, Orlando, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Columbus, Denver, New Orleans, and Milwaukee support faster transfers and fewer touches on recurring lanes.
Freight modes and vehicle types
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 450 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight. Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,200 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock. Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.
Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.
Cross-dock operations
Cross-docking at Warp facilities eliminates warehouse storage. Inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours. This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.
Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.
Enterprise freight programs
Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.
Self-serve freight quoting
The self-serve portal lets shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost. Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.
Industries and use cases
Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost. Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.
Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles. Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
