Domestic Mexico
This is an intra-Mexico corridor: no border crossing, no transloading. Loads on Mexican federal highways travel with a stamped carta porte, and Mexican carriers bid on domestic freight in the marketplace alongside international lanes.
Brokers post corridors like this to Cargado's marketplace, where verified carriers bid and every counterparty has been vetted before the first load moves.

Common questions about this lane
How do I find carriers for Manzanillo to Monterrey?
On Cargado, brokers post the corridor and vetted carriers bid on it. Every carrier is verified before it can bid, which replaces cold-calling unknown carriers.
What equipment is available on the Manzanillo to Monterrey corridor?
Postings here lean dry van-led, with open deck and reefer demand. If you need a type you do not see, post the load anyway. Carriers with matching equipment get notified automatically.
Does Cargado handle domestic Mexico freight?
Yes. Brokers post intra-Mexico moves alongside cross-border freight, and Mexican carriers bid on them the same way. Domestic loads on federal highways still need a stamped carta porte.
