Mexico–U.S. freight shipping guidance
Manufacturers and cargo owners moving goods from Mexico to the United States often need transportation after customs processing and border release. The Driver Link focuses on connecting eligible direct shippers with motor carriers for the applicable U.S. ground movement, without freight brokers as intermediaries. International businesses may apply for manual verification; cross-border operations depend on each carrier's legal authority.
Direct shippers and manufacturers must complete business verification before posting. Carrier eligibility and availability vary. The Driver Link is not a freight broker or an ocean shipping line.
Confirm under the sale and shipping agreement who controls transportation after the border. An eligible cargo owner or authorized direct shipper may apply to The Driver Link; the platform is not a freight forwarding or customs service.
Customs release, insurance, operating authority, inspections, documentation and any trailer handoff arrangements are handled by the parties and their licensed providers. Do not dispatch a driver to collect cargo until it is lawfully ready.
For an eligible shipment, list the U.S. pickup point, delivery address, dates, freight, equipment and offered rate. Participating carriers can request a suitable posted load, but availability and border service are not guaranteed.
No. Customs clearance and border paperwork must be arranged with the parties and appropriately licensed providers.
International direct manufacturers and cargo owners may apply for manual review. Approval and U.S. ground freight eligibility depend on documentation and actual service scope.
No. The platform does not guarantee border crossing, Mexico-side pickup or carrier capacity. It currently emphasizes qualified U.S. inland trucking connections.
No. The Driver Link is for verified direct cargo owners and actual trucking carriers, not freight brokers posting third-party loads.
