Compare your rates to the bands, spot lanes priced above market, and walk into every rate conversation with data.
Every lane shows a low, mid, and high band — P25, P50, and P75 of real carrier bids. Which one applies depends on what you're shipping, where, and how often.
Contracted lanes with steady volume, a good origin market, and real lead time should land here. If you're paying above P25 on committed freight, that's a negotiation signal.
The median of what carriers bid — a fair baseline for standard spot moves with about a week of lead time and normal pickup windows.
Short notice, tight or weekend pickups in Mexico, lower volume, or a rising market — expect spot coverage to clear between P50 and P75. You're paying for certainty.
These are benchmarks from real bids, not guarantees: every lane carries a confidence score and margin of error so you know how much weight to put on the band. And lead time is the cheapest lever there is. Freight that moves as committed, planned volume consistently prices below the same freight covered in spot urgency.
Our strongest coverage, both directions — corridors like Laredo–Monterrey, Guadalajara–Laredo, and Monterrey–Chattanooga.
Cross-border lanes in both directions, north and south — coverage is growing with the network.
Some rate data for U.S. freight moving to and from border cities like Laredo and El Paso — check the confidence score on these lanes.
Intra-Mexico moves between manufacturing hubs, ports, and the border — rate benchmarks land in August 2026.
Intra-Canada moves, including the equipment nuances Canadian freight demands.
The vast majority of U.S. domestic freight is outside Cargado's scope. The exception is the border-city freight above, because the network is built for Mexico and Canada freight by design.

Contact UsBoth — and the bands tell you what to expect. The bids behind the benchmarks blend spot loads and recurring lanes, and the two distributions track within a couple of percent, so the bands reflect today's market for both. Benchmark your contracted freight against P25: consistent volume on a good lane with real lead time should land there. Expect spot coverage to clear between P50 and P75 — tighter pickup windows, shorter lead time, lower volume, or a tougher market all push you up the band.
