We deliver to the border, not across it
We run domestic authority, so we bring the freight to your customs broker, forwarder or transfer yard in Laredo rather than crossing it ourselves. Tell us who is handling the crossing and we will deliver to them directly.
Timing around the crossing
The bottleneck on this lane is almost never the drive. It is the paperwork and the queue at the bridge. Getting the freight there a day early is usually worth more than shaving hours off the transit.
What does this lane cost?
We do not publish a rate here, because a truckload rate that is accurate this week is wrong next month — capacity and fuel move it constantly. Send us the weight, the commodity and your dates and you will have a real number within the hour during business hours.
