Cargado

Perfect for
Cargado is best suited for freight brokers, forwarders, and 3PLs that move or want to expand into cross-border Mexico and Canada freight. It is particularly valuable for:
- Mid-size to large freight brokerages looking to scale their Mexico and Canada operations without adding dedicated headcount
- Brokers and 3PLs that need vetted, CTPAT-certified or bonded carriers for cross-border lanes at every major U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada port of entry
- Teams that want real-time, bid-based pricing intelligence to quote cross-border freight quickly and competitively
- Carriers specializing in Mexico and Canada freight who want free access to loads from hundreds of verified brokers
- Shippers seeking to benchmark their cross-border freight spend against actual carrier bid data
Key strengths
Invite-only, vetted marketplace with FMCSA integration, MFA, and one-strike enforcement ensures trust on both broker and carrier sides
Market Rates tool provides the only cross-border Mexico and Canada pricing intelligence built from real carrier bids, refreshed weekly with confidence scores
Purpose-built for cross-border nuances including CTPAT/OEA certifications, bonded carriers, border crossing selection, and Mexico-specific equipment types
Usage-based pricing with unlimited users replaces restrictive seat-based models; carriers access the marketplace entirely free
TMS integrations (Tai, GoodShip, API) allow brokers to post loads, receive bids, and manage carrier workflows without switching platforms
Considerations
Exclusively focused on Mexico and Canada freight corridors; does not cover U.S. domestic or intra-Canada lanes
Canada cross-border data is thinner than Mexico coverage, as acknowledged by the company
Invite-only access means brokers and carriers must go through a vetting process before joining, which may slow onboarding
No publicly listed fixed pricing; brokers must request a custom quote to understand costs

About Cargado
Cargado operates as a curated, invite-only freight marketplace designed specifically for the complexities of moving freight across North American borders. Unlike traditional open load boards, Cargado vets every broker and every carrier before granting access, using FMCSA integration, MFA-protected accounts, reference checks, and one-strike enforcement to maintain trust across the network. The platform supports cross-border Mexico (both directions), domestic Mexico, and cross-border Canada freight, covering every major U.S.-Mexico port of entry including Laredo, El Paso, Otay Mesa, Nogales, and more, as well as Canada's busiest freight provinces.
At the core of Cargado's offering is its marketplace of 2,300+ vetted carriers with 525,000+ trailers, paired with Market Rates, the industry's first cross-border pricing intelligence tool built from real carrier bids rather than surveys or scraped load board data. Market Rates delivers low, mid, and high pricing bands (P25, P50, P75) with confidence scores, refreshed weekly, enabling brokers to quote spot freight in seconds, price entire RFPs using an Excel Add-In, and benchmark spend against what carriers are actually bidding. The platform supports multiple currencies (USD, MXN, CAD) and provides 12-week lane history for trend analysis.
Cargado integrates directly with TMS platforms including Tai and GoodShip, and offers an API for custom integrations, allowing brokers to sync loads, receive carrier bids, and manage posting rules without leaving their existing workflow. The platform handles nuanced equipment requirements critical to cross-border freight, including CTPAT and OEA certifications, bonded carriers, temperature-controlled specifications, Mexico-specific equipment like tortones, and Canada winter requirements such as heated trailers and Super-B trains. Carriers access the marketplace for free, while brokers pay on a usage-based model that scales from four figures annually for smaller teams to enterprise unlimited plans for high-volume operations.
