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.
Postings here are mostly dry van, with some straight truck and open-deck. If you need a type you do not see, post the load anyway. Carriers with matching equipment get notified automatically.
Both happen. Most freight crosses at Laredo (World Trade Bridge), where carriers either transfer the trailer to a cross-border drayage carrier or run direct with a through-trailer. The bid reflects the carrier's setup.
