From shipment detail to public link to per-event notification.
Every tracking surface in the portal: live GPS map, stops and freight detail, public consignee URL, per-shipment overrides, and global notification preferences.
Open shipment detail with live GPS map and 4-stage progress
Click any WARP ID (e.g. P-115772-2615). The detail page shows: a Booked status badge with a green WARP label, WARP - Full Truckload subline, Tracking number (S-115789-2615) with copy and link icons, Watchlist toggle, Tracking Link button, and a green Ship Again button. Below: the route Los Angeles, CA to Beverly Hills, CA with green dots, a Mapbox map centered on the LA area, and a 4-stage progress bar: 1 Booked (green checkmark), 2 Picking Up, 3 In Transit, 4 Delivered. Under the progress bar: EST. DELIVERY (TBD), PICKUP, MODE (Full Truckload), TOTAL COST ($147). Two tabs below: STOPS and SHIPMENTS.
GPS position streams from the Warp driver app every 60 seconds. The 4-stage progress bar updates from the carrier's event stream and Warp's cross-dock scan-in/scan-out events. Ship Again clones the shipment record with the same origin, destination, and pallet config so you can rebook the same lane in one click. The Tracking Link button generates a public URL you can share with your consignee.
Stops, freight items, cost breakdown, references, BOL, and documents
Scroll the shipment detail. The STOPS tab shows: PICKUP at 1234 S Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90001 (Date & Time 08:00-17:00, contact Troy Test, phone 12136982793) and DELIVERY at 456 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA, 90210 (contact Test Receiver, phone 13105551234). Below: Freight (1 Item) showing Cargo Van Shipment0, 1 pallet, 1 pcs, 800 lbs, 96x48x48. The right rail shows: SHIPMENT & EQUIPMENT (Shipment Type: Full Truckload, Equipment: N/A), REFERENCES (PO #, ASN #, BOL #: LPA733HV, Tracking #: S-115789-2615, Cost Center, Internal Ref), COST (Total Charged: $147.00), BOL (View BOL green link), DOCUMENTS (No documents uploaded), and ACTIVITY (No events recorded). Your avatar and team name appear at the bottom left.
References you enter at booking sync into the BOL header and invoice for downstream matching. The View BOL link opens the auto-generated Bill of Lading PDF. As the carrier event stream and Warp driver app detect events (scan-in, scan-out, POD upload, delivery confirmation), the Documents and Activity sections update automatically. The right rail is the single source of truth for every data point tied to the shipment.
Share a public tracking link with your consignee
From the shipment detail, click Tracking Link to copy the public URL. The tracking page shows a Mapbox map with blue circle markers at the pickup (New Hyde Park, NY 11040) and delivery (Roslyn, NY 11576) locations. The right panel shows the team name and Order number (P-0052-2615), a green Receive Updates button, Estimated Delivery Date (Wednesday, 4/15/26, 9:00 AM - 1:15 PM EDT), Status (Order created), a timestamp (4/13/26 9:17 PM EDT Order received), and Stops: Stop 1 New Hyde Park, NY, 11040 (Pickup, 1 pallet, Created) and Stop 2 Roslyn, NY, 11576 (Deliver, 1 pallet, Created). No login required for recipients.
Public tracking pages render from the same shipment record but strip account-specific data (cost, references, internal notes). The Receive Updates button creates a lightweight notification subscription tied to that single PRO so the consignee gets text or email updates on pickup, transit, and delivery without needing a Warp account. Estimated Delivery Date updates as GPS and scan events refine the ETA.
Override notifications on a single shipment
From the Shipments list, click the bell icon on any row. The Set Notifications modal opens scoped to that shipment (e.g. Shipment P-115772-2615). CHANNELS section: Email (checkbox, checked) and SMS (checkbox, unchecked). EVENTS section: Pickup (checked), Delivery (checked), Exceptions (checked). Cancel or Save button. Use this when a specific load needs alerts that differ from your global preferences.
Per-shipment overrides are stored as deltas on top of your account-level defaults. When an event fires for this shipment, the notification service checks the per-shipment override first and falls back to global preferences if no override exists. Overrides automatically expire when the shipment hits Completed.
Set global notification preferences per event and channel
Click Notifications in the left sidebar. The Notification Preferences page shows the heading Setup your notifications preferences. The notifications apply to all shipments. Column headers: Email, SMS, Slack (with info icon), Recipient. Events listed top to bottom: Notify me about everything (master toggle), Notify me only when..., Shipment has been Confirmed, Shipment has been Booked, In-Route to Pickup location, Driver arrived at Pickup Location, In-Route to Delivery Location, Driver arrived at Delivery Location, Completed. Each row has independent Email, SMS, and Slack toggle switches and a Recipient dropdown (defaulting to Self). Toggle any combination per event.
When a carrier event or driver app scan matches your preferences, the Notification Service fires through Twilio (SMS), Postmark (email), or your Slack webhook within seconds. Every notification includes a deep link back to the shipment detail page. The Recipient dropdown lets you route different events to different people — yourself, a warehouse manager, or any added recipient.
Live GPS and the 4-stage progress bar
Every shipment detail page shows a live GPS map (Mapbox) and a 4-stage progress bar: Booked, Picking Up, In Transit, Delivered. GPS on cargo van and box truck refreshes every 60 seconds from the Warp driver app.
LTL updates through cross-dock scan events at every handoff. The progress bar pulls from the carrier event stream and our own scan events so the stage you see matches the physical state of the freight.
Cross-dock scan events and exception detection
Warp operates 50+ cross-dock facilities with pallet-in, pallet-out scanning at every handoff. Each scan event lands in the shipment detail's activity log and moves the progress bar forward.
The operations AI layer monitors the event stream for deviations (late pickup, late delivery, route drift, dwell anomalies) and flags exceptions proactively — you don't need to check in to catch problems.
Public tracking URLs for consignees
Every shipment detail page has a Tracking Link button that copies a public URL. Send it to your consignee, customer, or warehouse contact.
They see a stripped-down map view, estimated delivery, status, and the stops list — no login, no dashboard access, no risk of data exposure. Recipients can subscribe to their own text or email updates directly from the public page.
Per-event notification preferences across Email, SMS, and Slack
On the Notifications page, toggle Email, SMS, or Slack independently for each event: Confirmed, Booked, In-Route to Pickup, Driver Arrived at Pickup, In-Route to Delivery, Driver Arrived at Delivery, Completed.
Add external recipients (warehouse manager, sales rep, customer success, broker partner) with first name, last name, phone, and email — they show up in the Recipient dropdown per event. Recipients cannot log in, they only receive notifications.
Per-shipment overrides for high-value loads
From the Shipments list, click the bell icon on any row to set notifications scoped to that one shipment. Toggle Email and SMS channels plus Pickup, Delivery, and Exception events.
Use this for high-value freight where you want SMS on every exception, while keeping your account-level defaults quieter for routine loads.
Overrides are stored as deltas on top of global preferences and automatically expire when the shipment hits Completed.
Frequently asked questions
How often does the Warp portal refresh GPS location?
Every 60 seconds on cargo van and 26-foot box truck loads, streamed directly from the Warp driver app. LTL shipments update through cross-dock scan events (scan-in, scan-out) at every handoff point.
The 4-stage progress bar (Booked, Picking Up, In Transit, Delivered) updates from the carrier event stream and our cross-dock scan events.
What are the 4 stages of the Warp progress bar?
Booked: your shipment is confirmed and assigned to a carrier. Picking Up: the driver has been dispatched and is en route to or at the pickup location. In Transit: the freight is moving between pickup and delivery (cross-dock handoffs included).
Delivered: proof of delivery has been captured, including photos and e-signature where applicable. Exceptions surface as a flag on the shipment; click in for details and resolution steps.
Can I share a tracking link with my customer without giving them a portal login?
Yes. Every shipment has a public tracking URL accessible from the Tracking Link button on the detail page. Send to your consignee, customer, or warehouse contact. They see a stripped-down view with map, ETA, status, and stops — no login required.
Recipients can click Receive Updates to subscribe to their own text or email notifications tied to that single PRO.
What notification channels does Warp support?
Email (via Postmark), SMS (via Twilio), and Slack (via incoming webhook).
Toggle each channel independently for each event: Confirmed, Booked, In-Route to Pickup, Driver Arrived at Pickup, In-Route to Delivery, Driver Arrived at Delivery, and Completed.
Every notification includes a deep link back to the shipment detail page.
Can I set different notification rules for a single high-value shipment?
Yes. Click the bell icon on any Shipments row to open the Set Notifications modal scoped to that load. Toggle Email and SMS channels plus Pickup, Delivery, and Exception events.
Per-shipment overrides are stored as deltas on top of your account-level defaults and automatically expire when the shipment reaches Completed.
Can I add external recipients for tracking notifications?
Yes. On the Notifications page, click Add Recipient to add anyone who should receive shipment alerts — warehouse manager, sales rep, customer success contact, broker partner. Enter First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, and Email Address. Save.
Recipients show up in the Recipient dropdown for every event. Recipients cannot log in or access dashboard data — they only receive notifications.
How does Warp detect exceptions?
The operations AI layer monitors every carrier event stream and driver app scan for deviations from the expected shipment timeline — late pickup, late delivery, route deviation, dwell-time anomalies, and document gaps.
When an exception fires, the shipment gets flagged on the Shipments list and the detail page, and notification recipients subscribed to exception events get alerted within seconds.
Do I need any configuration to enable tracking?
Zero configuration. Tracking is active on every shipment by default. Live GPS, scan events, 4-stage progress, and public tracking URLs work out of the box.
Notification preferences have sensible defaults (Email on Booked, Picked Up, Delivered) and you can adjust them whenever you want on the Notifications page.
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.
