In the podcast interview, David and Joe discussed alternatives to LTL. LTL stands for less than truckload shipping. The LTL industry and carriers are critically important to the economy. However, there are issues with LTL that has some shippers looking for alternatives. Some of the issues are lack of capacity, complex billing, higher cost per unit, slower transit times, extra handling, loss, and damage as compared to truckload shipping.

Warp uses an optimized network of cross docks and carriers connected through one tech platform to bring shippers the best rates, transparency and service quality in the transportation industry. Using proprietary technology, Warp connects shippers, carriers, and facilities to digitize the old school trucking model and create the most efficient routes for middle-mile freight. Warp weaves together digital pooling and physical consolidation points, to provide shippers a cost structure previously unthinkable with outdated trucking companies. Warp connects all parties together with their own TMS, WMS and driver app which allows Warp customers to have pallet-level tracking throughout a shipment’s journey.
