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.

Cargado's marketplace brings verified carriers to corridors like this one, with carrier vetting handled before bidding and banded rate context available in the product.
