Traditional LTL runs through 4 to 6 terminal touches, adding cost and damage at every handoff.
Warp freight intelligence
The middle mile was not just underserved. It was structurally broken.
Traditional LTL carriers run freight through 4 to 6 terminal touches with no visibility. Troy Lester built Warp to replace the entire system.

Warp connects shippers, cross docks, and local 3rd party carriers through a single operating system.

Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors every load and flags exceptions before shippers have to chase them.
The middle mile was the most expensive, least visible, and most fragmented part of the supply chain. Troy Lester saw it firsthand.
What Was Broken
Traditional LTL carriers were running freight through 4 to 6 terminal touches, adding cost and damage at every handoff. Shippers had no visibility between pickup and delivery. Pricing was opaque and loaded with surcharges.
Building the Network
Troy and Daniel did not want to build another freight broker. They wanted to build the network itself. Warp connects shippers, cross docks, and local 3rd party carriers through a single operating system. Every pallet is scanned in and scanned out. Every truck runs the Warp driver app. Our AI backbone, Orbit, monitors every load and flags exceptions before the shipper's team has to chase them.
What matters
Why Troy Lester Started Warp Middle Mile Broken should change the freight decision, not just fill a browser tab.
