About
About Warp
Warp operates a freight network that combines cross-dock facilities, routing software and carrier capacity for shippers across the United States. Its services include less-than-truckload and full-truckload transport, with shipment tracking and coordination handled through its own technology. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the company serves brands, retailers, distributors and logistics providers that need freight moved across several transport stages.
Robotics forms part of the network and its warehouse services. An automated forklift and fixed-camera floor mapping operate in Warp cross-docks, while additional automation is designed around the requirements of individual facilities. The broader fully robotic cross-dock programme remains phased development. Warp also supplies customer freight for Volvo Autonomous Solutions operations between Dallas and Houston using Waabi-powered trucks; the October 2026 customer operations retain an observer in the driver’s seat.
