What Cargo Vans Carry
Warp cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, and palletized loads up to 3 pallets (3,500 lbs, 400 cubic feet). They are the right vehicle when a box truck is too large, a parcel carrier cannot handle the size or weight, or the delivery site has access restrictions that prevent larger vehicles from entering.
Common cargo van shipments include retail store replenishment (2-3 pallets of merchandise), restaurant and food service delivery (cases and cartons), urgent parts delivery to manufacturing or construction sites, and sample or display freight for events and trade shows. Cargo vans are also the default vehicle for same-day dispatch when speed matters more than load size.
How Cargo Van Dispatch Works
When you book a cargo van load, Warp assigns a local 3rd-party carrier through the Warp driver app. The driver picks up your freight and you get live GPS tracking, scan events at every stop, and signed proof of delivery with photos when the load is complete. Warp does not own any vehicles. Every carrier is vetted for safety, insurance, and equipment condition before entering the network.
Orbit (the Warp AI backbone) monitors every load in real time, catching exceptions before they become problems. If a driver is delayed or fails to arrive, Hot Swap Coverage automatically reassigns a replacement carrier so your delivery window stays protected. Pricing is all-inclusive: no fuel surcharges, no accessorials, no hidden fees. The rate you see is the rate you pay.
When to Use a Cargo Van vs Box Truck
Cargo vans are built for tight-access deliveries where a box truck or tractor-trailer cannot fit. Urban storefronts with narrow loading zones, height-restricted parking garages, weight-limited streets, and locations without loading docks are all standard cargo van territory. They are also the fastest option for small shipments that need to move same-day within a metro area.
If your shipment exceeds 3 pallets or 3,500 lbs, a 26-foot box truck is the right choice. Box trucks carry up to 12 pallets (10,000 lbs) with a hydraulic liftgate for dock-free locations. Both cargo vans and box trucks are dispatched from the same Warp network with the same tracking, POD, and pricing structure.
Cargo Van Coverage
Warp dispatches cargo vans across 50+ markets using local carriers who know the neighborhoods. Strongest coverage is in the Southeast, Texas, Midwest, and Northeast corridors. Same-day dispatch is available in most major metros. For recurring routes (weekly store deliveries, scheduled distribution runs), Warp assigns dedicated carriers familiar with your stops and receiving protocols.
Frequently asked questions
What can a cargo van carry?
Warp cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, and palletized loads up to 3 pallets (3,500 lbs, 400 cubic feet). They are the right vehicle for small, urgent, or tight-access deliveries where a box truck is too large or a parcel carrier cannot handle the size or weight.
When should I use a cargo van instead of a box truck?
Use a cargo van when the shipment is under 3 pallets, the delivery site has height or width restrictions, or same-day speed is required. Box trucks carry more (up to 12 pallets) but cargo vans navigate tight urban access, parking garages, and residential streets more easily.

No. Warp dispatches local 3rd-party carriers through the Warp driver app. Every carrier is vetted for safety, insurance, and equipment condition before entering the network. Drivers operate under Warp tracking and POD requirements.
