Torreón

Freight and equipment in La Laguna

Torreón is a market of its own on the network, with freight posted to and from the city. La Laguna, the metro around it, crosses a state line, and on Cargado that matters: a carrier lists service areas by city, state or country, so a Coahuila service area and a Durango one are different things.

On the Durango side, freight for all four equipment families is posted to and from the state: dry van, reefer, open deck and straight truck. Reefer freight is posted out of Durango as well. Durango freight bound for the U.S. is posted through Laredo and El Paso, two ports in different directions from La Laguna: Laredo to the east, El Paso to the north.

On the Coahuila side, carriers are based in the state and declare all four families. Coahuila freight uses a wider set of crossings, which the Saltillo page covers.

Torreón and La Laguna in brief

• Market: freight is posted to and from Torreón, Coahuila.
• Durango: dry van, reefer, open deck and straight truck freight is posted to and from the state; reefer is posted out of it.
• Durango crossings: Laredo and El Paso.
• Coahuila: carriers based in the state declare all four families.
• Saltillo: a separate market on the network, in the same state.
• Inside Mexico: Torreón to Monterrey, Mexico City or any other Mexican city goes to Mexican carriers only.

How to reach Torreón capacity on Cargado

Give the true pickup city first. A plant in Gómez Palacio is a Durango pickup, and a carrier that lists only Coahuila as a service area may not be alerted for it, while a carrier with a saved La Laguna lane or a truck posted in the metro will be. For a U.S. load from the Durango side, choose between Laredo and El Paso by consignee: El Paso for the Southwest and West, Laredo for Texas and points east. Set the trailer type exactly, since all four families post here, and add the temperature on reefer. The suggested-carrier list shows whether each carrier matched on an open truck, a preferred lane or its service areas.

More questions

What equipment is posted in Durango?

All four families: dry van, reefer, open deck and straight truck freight is posted to and from Durango, and reefer freight is posted out of the state too. Bidders on Durango loads come from carriers based elsewhere, so put the exact trailer type on the posting.

Is Torreón part of the Saltillo market on Cargado?

No. Torreón is its own market on Cargado, separate from Saltillo, even though both cities are in Coahuila. A carrier whose service area is all of Coahuila covers both, while a carrier set up around Saltillo by city and radius may not reach Torreón.
