Crossings and equipment for Sonora freight
Hermosillo is a market on the network in its own right: freight is posted to and from the city. Sonora as a whole is both an origin and a carrier base, with carriers based in the state.
No other Mexican state posts freight through as many Arizona and California ports. Listed east to west, Sonora loads cross at Laredo, El Paso, Douglas, Nogales, San Luis, Calexico East and Otay Mesa. That spread is the useful fact for a Hermosillo load: Arizona is the short run north, California suits a Los Angeles or Inland Empire consignee, and Texas is there for freight headed to the U.S. South or Midwest.
All four equipment families post here. Dry van is what Sonora-based carriers declare; reefer, open deck and straight truck freight is posted to and from the state as well, and reefer freight is posted out of Sonora, not only into it.

How to reach Hermosillo capacity on Cargado
On a Hermosillo posting, the crossing field does the most work. Pick Nogales or Douglas for Arizona, San Luis for Yuma, Calexico East for the Imperial Valley, Otay Mesa for San Diego, or a Texas port for a long haul east, then choose transfer by carrier or a pre-set crossing carrier. A delivery inside the Arizona border commercial zone counts as a border move, which changes which carriers qualify, so give the real delivery city. For reefer out of Sonora, set the temperature and add any USDA or other inspection the load needs. Sonora-based carriers with a saved Hermosillo lane, a Sonora service area or a truck posted nearby are alerted, and each suggested carrier shows which reason applies.

More questions
Is reefer freight posted out of Sonora?
Yes. Reefer freight is posted out of Sonora as well as into it. Set the temperature on the load, since carriers do not list temperature ranges, and add any inspection the commodity needs, such as USDA, so bidders see it before they price.
Can a U.S. carrier haul a load within Sonora?
No. A load that starts and ends in Mexico, such as Hermosillo to Guaymas or to Mexico City, goes only to Mexican carriers. A U.S. carrier can bid once the load crosses into the U.S., for example Hermosillo to Phoenix.
