Over the past 12 months brokers posted this corridor to the Cargado marketplace regularly.

Mexican carriers bid on these with straight trucks and dry vans, and a stamped carta porte still travels with loads on federal highways.

Common questions about this lane

Does Cargado carry local freight within the Irapuato market?

Brokers post intra-market moves — transfers, repositioning, and short shuttles — alongside long-haul corridors, and carriers based in the Irapuato area bid on them the same way.

What equipment covers short moves in Irapuato?

Postings here lean dry van-led, with straight truck and reefer demand. Straight trucks and day-cab dry van work are common on short intra-market moves.

How is drayage-style work priced on Cargado?

Carriers bid the move like any other posting. Short transfer legs price on time and positioning more than distance, so clear pickup windows and yard details in the posting get sharper bids.
