Where Mexico freight actually moves

Coverage follows the industrial map. These are the markets and crossings where Cargado carriers run every day.

Manufacturing hubs

Monterrey and Saltillo anchor the northern industrial corridor: automotive, appliances, and metals. The Bajío (Querétaro, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes) runs aerospace and auto plants, Guadalajara ships electronics, and Mexico City moves consumer goods. Cargado carriers are domiciled in and around all of them.

Border crossings

Laredo–Nuevo Laredo is the busiest commercial crossing in North America. El Paso–Juárez, Otay Mesa–Tijuana, Pharr–Reynosa, Eagle Pass–Piedras Negras, and Nogales carry the rest. Cargado tracks which crossings each carrier runs, so postings match carriers who actually cross there.

Common questions

Which border crossings does Cargado cover for Mexico freight?

Cargado covers every major U.S.–Mexico port of entry. In Texas that means Laredo (World Trade Bridge and Colombia Solidarity Bridge), El Paso, Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Brownsville and Pharr-Hidalgo. In California it means Otay Mesa, Calexico and Tecate, and in Arizona it means Nogales, San Luis and Douglas. Cargado tracks which crossings each carrier runs, so your posting reaches carriers who actually cross there.

What equipment can I post for Mexico freight?

For cross-border and domestic Mexico, you can post dry van, reefer and open deck (flatbed, stepdeck, double drop or lowboy, RGN and Conestoga), with live or drop-and-hook stops. Power only is a mode rather than a trailer type: you supply the trailer, and the carrier brings the tractor and driver. For domestic Mexico moves, you can also post tortón, rabón, and straight trucks from 0.5 to 3.5 tons.

Are the Mexico carriers verified, and are any CTPAT or OEA certified?

Our team reviews every Mexican carrier before it can bid: its RFC, SICT permit and company documents. Carriers list CTPAT, OEA and bonded status on their own profile, so confirm those before you tender. Cargado matches the best-fit carriers to your lane, your equipment and your requirements.

How does moving a Mexico load on Cargado work?

Start by pricing the lane with Mexico-based market benchmarks. Then post the load with its requirements up front, so the carriers who respond can actually run it. Bids come from verified Mexico carriers, and you accept, reject or negotiate in one place. You can talk with carriers directly in English or Spanish.

What you can post for a Mexico load

All four equipment families are available in Mexico: dry van, temperature controlled, open deck and straight truck. Freight is posted for each of them in Mexico, and carriers based in Mexico declare each one.

Straight trucks in Mexico use Mexican size classes. Torton, rabón and the smaller ton classes are offered only in Mexico. Step deck and Conestoga freight that touches Mexico is posted and carriers bid on it, and carriers run those trailers in the U.S. and Canada.

Cargado covers both kinds of Mexico freight. Cross-border loads run between Mexico and the U.S. or Canada through the U.S.-Mexico crossings. Domestic loads start and end in Mexico and go to Mexican carriers only.

Who is on the network in Mexico

Carriers based in Mexico declare service in Mexico. Carriers that declare service in both Mexico and the U.S. bid on cross-border loads, and so do carriers that declare service in both Mexico and Canada.

Mexican carriers describe their drivers as national drivers (loads that stay in Mexico), import and export drivers (the Mexican side of cross-border loads) and drayage drivers (moves to the ports of entry). U.S. carriers declare B1 and CDL drivers for the U.S. side.

What is on file for Mexican carriers

Nearly all Mexican carriers on the network list a Mexican SICT (formerly SCT) permit, and many hold a U.S. DOT number. Some declare a C-TPAT number, some declare OEA, the Mexican authorized economic operator program, and some declare a bond.

Be precise about what that means. A carrier declares these on its profile and our team reviews the documents on file. Only U.S. authority, which includes the DOT number, is checked against FMCSA records.

Before a carrier sees freight, our team manually approves it, reads its company documents and contacts its commercial references. See the vetting page for the full process.

On Cargado

How to reach Mexico capacity on Cargado

Post the load with its real Mexican stop and the stop on the other side, in dollars or pesos. The stops set the rules. A load that starts and ends in Mexico goes only to Mexican carriers, and the U.S. interior leg of a cross-border load reaches a Mexican carrier only with an MX number and OP-1 authority. On a cross-border load, choose whether the carrier handles the crossing or a crossing carrier is pre-set, and flag any inspection the load needs, such as USDA or SENASICA. A minimum cargo insurance is required unless the load stays inside Mexico. You can also require C-TPAT or OEA on the posting. Carriers whose saved searches, service areas or posted trucks fit the load are notified and bid, and the suggested carrier list shows which of those three put each carrier there. Carriers join and bid at no cost, and Cargado takes no cut.
