What pallet delivery actually means
Pallet delivery covers shipments from 1 to 12 pallets — the gap between parcel carriers (too small) and full truckload (too large). This is where traditional LTL lives, and it's where traditional LTL creates the most friction: per-hundredweight pricing with minimums, fuel surcharges, liftgate fees, residential delivery fees, and limited-access charges that can double the rate on a small shipment. Warp operates in this range differently. You pay per pallet, all-in. No minimums. No separate accessorial line items. The rate you see is what you pay.
Equipment matched to your pallet count
Warp dispatches the right vehicle for the load size. For 1–4 pallets: a cargo van, which is faster, lower cost, and can access tight loading areas that larger equipment cannot. For 5–12 pallets: a 26-foot box truck with liftgate, which handles full pallet stacks and delivery points without dock access. For 13+ pallets, Warp can route as LTL through the cross-dock network. You enter your shipment details and the platform recommends the right equipment. Dispatching a box truck for a 2-pallet load adds cost and wait time. Dispatching a cargo van for a 9-pallet load creates a problem. Right-sizing is built into the booking flow.
Per-pallet pricing: no minimums, no surprises
Traditional LTL pricing has two problems for small pallet shipments. First, minimums: carriers set a floor charge that makes 1–2 pallet loads expensive relative to the actual freight moved. Second, accessorials: liftgate fees, residential charges, limited-access fees, fuel surcharges. These add up fast and are often not visible until the invoice arrives. Warp's per-pallet pricing eliminates both. Box trucks come with liftgates included. Delivery to a residential address or a tight-access commercial location is not a separate fee. The rate is the rate. For operations teams managing daily pallet delivery to dozens of accounts, per-pallet pricing makes freight spend predictable and eliminates the invoice reconciliation that comes with accessorial-heavy LTL.
Coverage: 50+ metro markets with same-day dispatch
Warp dispatches pallet delivery from local cross-dock facilities in 50+ metro markets. Same-day dispatch is available for qualifying shipments in most markets. Warp does not own vehicles — local 3rd-party carriers operate on the Warp driver app in each market. When you book, Warp assigns a local carrier who picks up your pallets and delivers direct. No terminal routing, no overnight staging, no next-morning delivery schedule when you need it today.
Live GPS, scan events, and proof of delivery on every load
Every pallet delivery through Warp runs on the same technology stack. The driver app captures barcode scans at pickup and delivery, GPS location throughout the move, proof of delivery photos, and electronic signatures. Warp's AI backbone, Orbit, watches every load in real time and flags exceptions — late pickups, missed scans, route deviations — before they become problems. Your TMS receives scan events and delivery confirmations through Warp's API integrations. For recurring pallet delivery programs, the Work Queue assigns consistent drivers to your routes. Every delivery generates a complete documentation trail without any manual follow-up.
Who uses Warp for pallet delivery
Retailers running store replenishment programs: 1–6 pallets per location, multiple stops per day, tight receiving windows. DTC brands shipping outbound to 3PLs or direct to customers. Food and beverage distributors with daily route delivery to restaurant, grocery, and foodservice accounts. Manufacturers moving inbound components from suppliers and outbound finished goods to distributors. The common thread is shipments in the 1–12 pallet range that need same-day or next-day delivery with documented proof, and where traditional LTL pricing makes the per-unit economics unreasonable.
How pallet delivery through Warp compares to traditional LTL
Traditional LTL moves your pallets through a terminal network: pickup to local terminal, sort overnight, line-haul to destination terminal, local delivery the next morning at the earliest. Each terminal touch is a rehandling event, and rehandling is where pallet damage happens. Warp's cross-dock model reduces touches: pallets move from pickup to cross-dock facility to delivery, with 1–2 touches instead of 3–5. For metro pallet delivery in particular, direct dispatch skips the terminal entirely — pickup to delivery in a single vehicle, same day. No terminal delay, no rehandling, lower damage rate, faster delivery, and pricing you can predict before the invoice arrives.
