What a full truckload posting tells carriers

Three parts of the form do most of the work on Mexico and Canada freight.

Illustration with a fictional lane, using the posting form's own field labels. The numbers match the notes beside it.

  1. More than one trailer type

    Select every Trailer Type the freight can go in. Torton, Rabón and the small 0.5 to 4.5 ton units appear only when every stop is in Mexico.

  2. Who handles the border crossing

    Transfer by carrier puts the crossing in the bid of the carrier you book. Pick Pre-set transfer when your customer, their customs broker or a transfer carrier you use already has it. Northbound, Pre-set transfer reads No B1 drivers.

  3. Stops carriers can plan around

    Live or Drop at each stop, the appointment, and facility checkboxes that follow the stop's country, such as Facility is OEA Certified in Mexico or Facility is PIP Certified in Canada.

On a cross-border move, carriers price each part: the Mexico portion, the border crossing and the U.S. portion.

Questions about full truckload

How do I post a full truckload to or from Mexico on Cargado?

Pick Full truckload under Mode on the posting form, then add the stops, the trailer types you accept, the weight and commodity, and the border crossing. Post it as a Load if it is already in your TMS and scheduled with a rate from your customer, as a Lane if it is won freight that repeats, or as a Potential Load or Lane if you haven't won it yet. Carriers bid on it.

Who handles the border crossing on a full truckload?

You choose on the posting. Transfer by carrier means the carrier you book crosses the freight, so their bid includes it. Pre-set transfer means someone else already has the crossing, such as your customer, their customs broker or a transfer carrier you use. The question appears when the route includes Mexico and the U.S. or Canada.

Can I accept more than one trailer type?

Yes. On a full truckload you can select more than one Trailer Type. Select every Trailer Type the freight can go in. Torton, Rabón and the small 0.5 to 4.5 ton units appear only when every stop is in Mexico.

How do carriers price a cross-border full truckload?

By leg. On a move between Mexico and the U.S., the carrier enters a price for the Mexico portion, the border crossing and the U.S. portion. On a move inside one country, it is a single all-in rate. On the Mexico portion of a cross-border move, bids include IVA (VAT) where applicable.

Can I check the rate before I post?

Yes. Cargado Market Rates show a low, mid and high all-in rate for full truckload freight on the lane and trailer type. Each rate uses the trailing 12 weeks of carrier bids on Cargado and is refreshed weekly.
