The story
Cargado is a modern marketplace for Mexico and Canada freight. Posting your trucks on it now takes one message. Send us the truck list you already write, and we post every truck and reply with the loads that fit.
Most dispatchers send a truck list every morning. It goes to a handful of 3PLs by email or WhatsApp and says where each truck is empty, when, and where it needs to go next. When we asked one dispatcher if he sends one, he said, "All the time. I have a daily list."
Load boards ask for more. You type a search, scroll past loads that don't fit and check back later. Another carrier told us his dispatchers "just don't want to use anything else." Now the list they already send is enough to post their trucks.
Three ways to send your list
- Email. Send it to trucks@cargado.com. Type or paste the list in the body of the email. Email doesn't read photos or attachments, so keep the list in the message itself.
- WhatsApp. Send your list to Cargado Trucks at +1 (956) 539-3145. Type it out, or send a photo or a screenshot. We reply in the same chat.
- The Cargado app. Click Post a truck, or click Upload a screenshot or photo and we post the trucks on it.
What comes back
We read each truck's city, trailer type and date, post it on Cargado and reply with the loads that fit, usually within a minute. 3PLs only see your truck when they have a load that fits, and they can message you in Cargado chat.
Lists sent by email get their reply by email, with a Bid button on each load.
Same locations every week?
If you have recurring trucks, say which days when you send your trucks by email or WhatsApp, or set up Recurring in the app. We'll look for loads for those trucks on those days, every week.
Get started
Send your next list to trucks@cargado.com, or to Cargado Trucks on WhatsApp at +1 (956) 539-3145. You can also post a truck in the app. When you post in the app, you can add where the truck is headed, and you only see loads going that way.
