How the self-serve quote tool works
Enter your origin zip, destination zip, pallet count, weight, and dimensions.
Warp returns live rates from multiple carriers for cargo van, 26-foot box truck, and 53-foot dry van side by side, so you compare options across modes and carriers in one screen. Pick the rate that fits your shipment and book it directly.
Add Falvey cargo insurance at checkout with one click, the certificate generates instantly and is downloadable from your shipment detail page. The rate covers pickup, transit, and delivery with no fuel surcharges or hidden accessorials.
Your shipping dashboard
After booking, your Warp dashboard becomes your freight command center. Filter shipments by status, Created, In Progress, Completed, or search by reference number, tracking number, or BOL.
Every shipment detail page shows a live map with GPS position, the full event timeline from pickup scan to delivery confirmation, cost breakdown, and downloadable documents (BOL, POD, insurance certificate).
Set up notification preferences per lane so you get alerts only on the shipments that matter. For teams, the user management panel lets you add colleagues with role-based access.
And if you start shipping recurring volume on the same lanes, you can set up recurring lane schedules directly from the dashboard.
When to use self-serve vs. enterprise
Use self-serve when you need an immediate freight decision, typically for 1-8 pallet loads that need to move today or tomorrow.
It works best for operations managers handling urgent recoveries, 3PLs comparing mode options, and small-to-mid shippers who want instant pricing without a sales call.
Switch to the enterprise path when you ship 50+ loads per week on recurring corridors, need custom network design across multiple modes, or want lane-level optimization with dedicated account management.
What happens after you book
Once booked, Warp assigns a carrier from the network, you see the carrier name, vehicle type, and driver contact directly in your dashboard.
The driver operates through the Warp driver app with live GPS tracking, scan-in events at pickup, scan-out events at delivery, proof of delivery photos, and electronic signatures.
If the assigned carrier encounters an issue, Hot Swap Coverage activates automatically, Warp reassigns a replacement carrier without you having to call anyone.
Orbit monitors every load for late pickups, route deviations, and delivery exceptions, and pushes status updates to your dashboard in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Who should use the self-serve freight path?
The self-serve path is built for shippers who need an immediate freight decision, typically for 1-8 pallet loads that need to move today or tomorrow.
It works best for operations managers handling urgent recoveries, 3PLs comparing mode options for a customer, and small-to-mid shippers who want instant pricing without waiting for a sales call.
You can compare Cargo Van, Box Truck, and Dry Van rates from multiple carriers side by side in under 2 minutes.
When does the enterprise path make more sense?
Switch to the enterprise path when you are shipping 50+ loads per week on recurring corridors, need custom network design across multiple modes (FTL, LTL, pool distribution, zone skipping), or want to reduce cost-to-serve across a multi-location network.
The enterprise path includes dedicated account management, lane-level optimization, and cross-dock routing design, capabilities that go beyond what self-serve instant rates can deliver.
Can I compare rates from multiple carriers?
Yes. When you quote a shipment, Warp returns rates from multiple carriers in the network, including Warp's own fleet, FedEx Freight, Old Dominion, XPO, Estes Express, and others depending on the lane and mode.
You see carrier name, rate, and transit time side by side so you can make an informed decision. This is not a single-carrier quote tool, it is a multi-carrier rate comparison built into the booking flow.
Does Warp offer cargo insurance?
Yes. Warp integrates with Falvey Shippers Insurance directly in the booking flow. You can add cargo insurance with one click at checkout, the policy is issued instantly and the insurance certificate is downloadable from your shipment detail page.
No separate application, no waiting for underwriting. The insurance processing fee and premium are shown transparently in the cost breakdown before you confirm the booking.
How fast can I get a freight quote through self-serve?
Instant. Enter your origin, destination, and shipment details, and live rates for Cargo Van, Box Truck, and Dry Van appear immediately. There is no callback, no email chain, and no waiting for a broker to source capacity.
If the rate works, you can book the load directly from the quote screen.
Can I connect Warp to my TMS or ERP?
Yes. Self-serve customers can generate API keys directly from the developer section of their Warp dashboard, no sales call required. The Freight API supports quoting, booking, tracking, invoice retrieval, and document download.
Webhook integrations push real-time status events to your TMS or ERP as shipments move through pickup, transit, cross-dock, and delivery.
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 20,000+ 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 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.
Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 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.
