Mexico truckload rates from real carrier bids
Get the low, mid and high rate for supported U.S.–Mexico, domestic Mexico and U.S.–Canada lanes, built from bids carriers place on real postings and refreshed weekly. The bids come from Cargado, a modern marketplace for Mexico and Canada freight with 2,400+ carriers. Page updated October 2026.
What changes a Mexico truckload rate
Direction: northbound and southbound are separate markets, so price each direction on its own. Distance: border moves such as Monterrey or Saltillo to Laredo run about 145 to 185 miles and cost far less than interior hauls from Querétaro or Guadalajara, which run 550 to 650 miles to Laredo. Trailer: dry van, reefer and flatbed are priced separately. Crossing: a through trailer and a transload at the border are different services with different costs. The market: rates move, so check this week's low, mid and high for your lane in Cargado before you quote.
