Every carrier in your suggestions was reviewed by our carrier team before it could see or bid on freight.
- Intentional onboarding: 3PLs meet with us 1:1 before onboarding. 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
Post a load or lane with equipment, dates, and any certifications the freight needs. That complete detail is exactly what kills the cold-call marathon, because Cargado already knows who fits.
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.”
See who fits, then talk to them
Post the requirements that determine coverage, and Cargado routes your freight to the best-fit carriers and centralizes bids in one place. And Suggested Carriers isn't a static list, it's the start of a conversation, with Cargado Chat built right in.
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.”

Our team is ready to answer specific questions about your shipping requirements
Contact UsNo. Cargado is a vetted marketplace. We meet with every broker before onboarding them, and our team reviews every carrier before it can see or bid on freight. A posting board is part of the workflow, but targeted matching, carrier notifications, verified chat, and market rates are what actually get freight covered.
Post a load once with the details that determine coverage: lane, border crossing, equipment, certifications like CTPAT and OEA, and door-to-door versus transload. Cargado notifies best-fit carriers through their preferred channels, generates a ranked list of recommended carriers, and centralizes bids, questions, and counters in one workflow instead of email, calls, and message threads.
Every carrier applies, and our team reviews it before turning the account on. What a carrier submits depends on its country: FMCSA authority in the U.S., RFC, SICT permit and company documents in Mexico, provincial registration and insurance in Canada, plus three references. Certifications are listed by the carrier, so confirm them before you tender. We meet with every broker before onboarding them.
Carriers use the marketplace free. Broker plans start at US$500 a month for 25 load postings and 50 rate lookups, and Enterprise is unlimited at a custom price. Every plan includes unlimited users and Market Rates, with no commission on loads. Pay monthly, quarterly or annually.
