</aside>
Market Rates gives you cross-border freight pricing built from real carrier bids on Cargado — P25, P50 and P75 for a lane, refreshed weekly. Access rates through the Cargado UI for quick lookups, the Excel Add-in for bulk RFP pricing, or the Rating API for TMS integration.
What brokers use it for:
When a customer calls asking for a rate from Laredo to Monterrey, you can pull up Market Rates and see exactly what carriers are bidding on that lane right now. You'll see a range of percentiles (P25, P50, P75) so you can choose where to price based on lead time, relationship, and margin goals.
Not all lanes have the same data depth. Market Rates shows you a confidence score — High, Medium, or Low — so you know how much weight to give the rate. High confidence? Quote with certainty. Low confidence? Use it as a starting point and validate with carrier outreach.
Cross-border freight doesn't always fit neatly into a single city. That's why Market Rates uses extended market boundaries — aggregating rate data from nearby cities into regional clusters. This gives you better coverage and more accurate rates, even on lanes that would otherwise have thin data.
