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.

On Cargado, this corridor is covered by a marketplace of verified carriers bidding on freight from hundreds of brokers, with rate context drawn from real bids rather than surveys.
