Grow your brokerage
Win a few Mexico lanes, prove reliability, and use it as a wedge into accounts you couldn't crack before and a way to grow the ones you already have.
Grow wallet share with existing customers
Your domestic U.S. customers likely have Mexico freight they're giving to someone else or not controlling at all. Offering cross-border turns you from a domestic provider into a North American partner. Mexico freight is often production-driven volume that ships week after week.
Become the broker they can't replace
Mexico freight might not be your customers' highest volume, but it's their most annoying. They're focused on the 80% that moves domestically and have little control over what's happening south of the border. Solve that for them and you become the one they can't replace.
Build a competitive edge to differentiate
Most brokers hesitate on Mexico freight. That's why starting now is your edge. While your competitors sit on the opportunity, you'll build carrier relationships, lane knowledge, and operational confidence that can't be replicated overnight.

Contact UsWe offer subscription plans for brokers and logistics teams at every stage of growth, from teams just beginning to move Mexico and Canada freight to high-volume operations running dedicated lanes at enterprise scale.
Plans are built around usage. For teams that want to get started quickly with predictable costs, we have self-serve options tied to monthly volume. For high-volume operations that need unlimited access and more hands-on support, we scope custom plans that fit how you actually work. The best way to figure out which fits your team is to talk to us.
Every carrier in Cargado's network goes through multi-step onboarding and verification, including multiple broker references, before they can bid on your freight.
Our integrations with the FMCSA and other data sources monitor carrier safety scores continuously, not just at onboarding. If a carrier's standing changes, we know and act. Cargado takes a strong enforcement posture when any participant demonstrates behavior that's counter to our policies or to conducting business with integrity.
For compliance workflows, Cargado is designed to complement your existing internal carrier onboarding tools, not replace them. We're happy to walk through how that fits your team's process.
Yes, and for most teams, it's not a heavy lift. If you're on McLeod, Turvo, or Tai, we have existing integrations that can be stood up without a custom build. For proprietary or other TMS platforms, we work through an API-based approach and scope the right starting point together.Either way, the goal is the same: reduce manual posting, keep load and carrier data in sync, and surface things like DNU lists and approved carrier visibility directly in your existing workflow.
For teams new to the integration, we typically start with the simplest high-value connection—Cargado Market Rates—into your quoting workflow, and expand to posting sync and carrier management from there. A technical scoping call is usually the first step.
Market Rates are built from real carrier bids placed in our marketplace, not surveys, broker estimates, or historical averages. Because the data comes from actual bids, it reflects what carriers are willing to move freight for right now, on the lanes you're quoting.
Rates are presented as a low, mid, and high range with a confidence signal tied to bid density. On high-volume lanes, that signal is strong. When rates are thin, we’ll recommend posting a Potential spot load or dedicated lane to pull live carrier responses, which give you a more defensible number to take to your customer.
For RFPs and bulk lane pricing, the Excel Add-In lets you pull market rates for hundreds of lanes at once directly in your workbook. More on this below, or visit our Market Rates page.
The Cargado Excel Add-In lets you pull market rates for your full lane list directly in Excel without any copying, tab-switching, or manual lookups. Price hundreds of lanes in seconds and get back to customers fast with rates you are confident in.
For lanes where the confidence signal is lower, like on newer corridors, in thinner markets, or with unusual equipment, post a Potential load to pull live carrier responses and anchor your pricing with real bid data, instead of just an estimate, before you commit.
These tools were built to complement each other: The Add-In to move fast for bulk-quoting a lane list and Potential loads and lanes to validate where the stakes or uncertainty are higher.
