Connect with Canadian and Canada–U.S. cross-border partners you can actually trust
Our team reviews every carrier and onboards every logistics company before it can post freight, so you always know who you're working with.
- Intentional onboarding: Our team onboards every 3PL before it can post freight. Our carrier team reviews every carrier before it can see or bid on freight: provincial safety registration and insurance in Canada, active FMCSA authority in the U.S., and RFC, SICT permit and company documents in Mexico, plus three references. After approval, our team is alerted if a carrier's USDOT status lapses, and you can block a carrier on any load or lane you post.
- Domestic and cross-border qualifications: Carriers list PIP, CTPAT, OEA, FAST and bonded status, equipment, and more on their profile, so confirm certifications before you tender.
- 3PL-level compliance options: Apply your own compliance requirements at the 3PL level before awarding freight.
- Verified Chat profiles: With MFA-protected accounts and detailed profiles so you know who you’re talking to.
“It helps us quote fast, and that's when you win it. Customers ask for a rate at 11, and by 11:30 they have it. That speed puts a smile on their faces.”
Built for the nuances of Canadian and Canada–U.S. cross-border freight
Cargado captures the lanes, crossings, and requirements that legacy load boards ignore. Better details make smarter matches.
Post freight with the specifics that directly impact coverage and execution. Cargado matches freight to the right carriers faster, for fewer questions, higher-quality bids, and more accurate pricing.
- Border crossings and service area
- Compliance and certifications like C-TPAT and PIP (CTPAT and OEA for Mexico)
- Equipment nuances
- Transfer type: door-to-door versus transload
“The best part about Cargado is we don't have to search the board unless we need to. Cargado actually messages us when there's freight available.”
All it takes is one posting for smarter routing to the right carriers
Post the requirements that determine coverage, and Cargado matches your freight to the best-fit carriers, alerts them where they’re most likely to respond, and centralizes bids and negotiation. Move from posting to booking faster.
Post once with your exact requirements
Including lane and service area, equipment, compliance and certifications, and transfer type (door-to-door versus transload). This way, the right carrier sees it and the wrong ones don’t.
Carriers receive notifications via their preferred channels
Instead of posting and praying, Cargado routes freight to the best-match carriers where they are, so the right carriers see the opportunity quickly and can place a bid.
Get a list of recommended carriers
Cargado generates a ranked list of recommended carriers based on your lane, equipment, and requirements, on even your toughest-to-cover freight, so you start with the carriers most likely to say yes.
Bid and negotiate in one place
Compare bids and handle questions and counters in one workflow instead of tracking responses across email, calls, and messages.
“Once you take the time to build your profile, Cargado is good at giving you just the loads that work. The system doesn’t fill my inbox with stuff I can’t service. I’m seeing just my lanes, just the stuff I want to look at.”
3PLs
Post a load or lane with your specific requirements between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, and get bids from a targeted set of vetted carriers that want that type of freight.
Carriers
Cargado gives carriers access to freight coast to coast and across the border from paying 3PLs, modern tools, and consistent lanes, at no cost.
