When you search for a rate in Cargado, you're not searching a single ZIP code — you're searching a market. We aggregate nearby cities into logical regions so you get better rate coverage and more accurate pricing, even for lanes that would otherwise have too little data.
This matters because cross-border freight doesn't move point-to-point the way domestic LTL does. A carrier picking up in Aurora, IL is effectively picking up in Chicago. A delivery to Apodaca is a delivery to Monterrey. By recognizing these patterns, we can show you rates for lanes that would otherwise come back empty.
Our logistics experts manually drew market boundaries for every major freight hub in the US, Mexico, and Canada. These aren't arbitrary circles around cities — they're based on how carriers actually price and route freight.
When carriers bid on freight, they think in terms of markets, not addresses. A carrier based in Laredo doesn't distinguish between a pickup in Laredo proper versus Nuevo Laredo's industrial parks — it's all "Laredo" to them. A carrier in the GTA treats Mississauga, Brampton, and downtown Toronto as functionally the same market.
We mirror that logic. When you search a lane, we identify which market each endpoint falls into, then show you rates based on all the bid activity within those markets.
