Hermosillo is the Sonora capital, home to Ford's Hermosillo assembly plant and the supplier park around it, and it ships north through Nogales. Pick an origin or destination in the directory to open its lane guide, and read how the Nogales handoff and Mexican paperwork work on Hermosillo freight. Cargado is a marketplace where brokers post Mexico and Canada truck freight and vetted carriers bid on it.

Hermosillo's economy runs on Ford's Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly plant, which built its seven millionth vehicle in June 2024 and builds the Bronco Sport and Maverick (Mexico Business News), and on the tier suppliers, aerospace shops and chemical plants around it. Sonora also ships produce, beef and seafood, so reefer freight shares the highway. Most cross-border loads run north on Federal Highway 15 to Nogales and cross at the Mariposa port of entry into Arizona, where I-10 and I-19 connect to Phoenix, Tucson and California. Southbound, expect components, steel, resins and packaging for the plants.
U.S. guides run from Hermosillo to Nogales, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Ontario, California, Stockton, Laredo, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast, and back from Phoenix, Ontario, Laredo, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Allentown and Elizabeth. Mexico guides connect Hermosillo with Mexicali, Chihuahua, Monterrey, Saltillo, Guadalajara, the Bajío, Cuautitlán Izcalli, Toluca and Puebla, and inbound also with Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Mexico City, San Luis Potosí and Cuernavaca. Canada guides run each way with Toronto and Vancouver, and from Saskatoon. Confirm whether you need the Mexico leg, the U.S. leg or the door-to-door move, and, for cross-border lanes, which crossing the lane guide names; domestic Mexico lanes have no crossing.
A Mexican carrier runs the trailer to a Nogales, Sonora, yard, a transfer carrier crosses at Mariposa, and a carrier with U.S. authority picks up in Nogales, Arizona; produce often transloads at a Nogales warehouse instead. Freight for Texas and the East sometimes crosses at El Paso or Laredo instead. The lane guide names its crossing; confirm it with the carrier, post the leg you need covered, and check what each bid includes: the transfer, any transload, trailer use and detention.
Automotive suppliers ship to appointment windows with returnable racks; put the dock hours and rack counts on the posting. Reefer loads need the temperature range, cooling mode and inspection requirements stated; produce schedules vary by crop, so confirm the packing location and harvest window with the shipper.
Any leg inside Mexico needs a carrier with Mexican operating authority, and for every Mexican leg confirm who issues the CFDI, Mexico's electronic tax document, with Carta Porte details when required. Northbound, a U.S. customs broker usually files the U.S. entry; southbound, the importer's licensed Mexican customs broker, or an authorized representative, files the Mexican entry. Agree on free time, detention and storage before dispatch.
Most Hermosillo lanes into the U.S. cross at Nogales, about three hours north on Federal Highway 15, at the Mariposa port of entry. Lanes for Texas and the East sometimes cross at El Paso or Laredo. Each cross-border lane guide on this hub names the crossing it uses; the domestic lanes have no crossing.
Yes, for any leg inside Mexico: it needs a carrier with Mexican operating authority. A lane to a U.S. city usually runs Hermosillo to a Nogales yard on a Mexican carrier, then a transfer and a carrier with U.S. authority to destination. For a Canadian destination, also confirm U.S. transit paperwork, Canadian entry and each carrier's authority. State the leg you need covered when you post on Cargado.
Post the pickup and delivery, the date, the equipment and the leg you need covered. For a Mexico move, include the crossing and the handoff plan; for a Canada lane, the customs broker and the release arrangement. Vetted carriers that run the corridor bid, and you compare what each bid covers before you book. Where a corridor has enough bid history, Cargado Market Rates gives you a reference built from carrier bids before you quote.
Dry van leads, carrying automotive parts, aerospace components and chemicals. Reefer carries Sonora produce, beef and seafood, and open deck carries metals and machinery. Post the trailer type with the weight, dimensions, loading requirements and, for refrigerated freight, the temperature range.
