Key points:
- TQL’s cross-border expertise helps shippers maintain freight capacity and move shipments faster, more reliably and securely even when the border is unpredictable.
- Our bilingual team helps you navigate cross-border shipping challenges.
- TQL’s expansion in Laredo, Texas and Monterrey, Mexico, plus transloading and tracking, helps shippers stay on schedule when border conditions change.
That’s why TQL has strengthened its Mexico cross-border support with a new office in Laredo, Texas, and our first international office in Monterrey, Mexico, backed by a bilingual team available 24/7/365.
These additions reduce disruption and keep freight moving even when the border becomes unpredictable.
Coordination that keeps freight moving
Cross-border shipping involves multiple parties, different systems and tight timelines. The most common issue shippers face is freight stalling when coordination breaks down.
What works is having a single point of contact who owns the process end to end – and a logistics partner accountable from pickup to delivery.
At TQL, a dedicated logistics expert manages the shipment from start to finish, coordinating carriers, customs, palletization, drop trailers and TMS integrations for seamless supply chain solutions. We remove the friction so your shipments keep moving without surprises.
A stronger presence at the border
Laredo is the busiest gateway for U.S.-Mexico trade, and it’s also where delays happen most often. When issues require immediate attention, distance matters.
TQL’s newest office in Laredo is home to the largest inland port in the Northern Hemisphere. With Sales and Operations Support staff on site, we’re positioned to respond quickly when freight needs to move fast.
We also partner with three transloading facilities in Laredo and have access to a secure yard in Nuevo Laredo. Together, these assets provide more than 200,000 square feet of storage space and over 75 dock doors, all within seven miles of the Laredo World Trade Point of Entry.
Proximity and capacity give you trailer options, secure storage and flexibility, helping you avoid costly delays at customs.

More control through transloading
When the border gets congested, transloading is one of the most effective ways to keep freight moving. It allows shipments to clear the crossing instead of waiting in line.
TQL supports all equipment types, including dry van, reefer, flatbed and box truck. We also offer palletization, rework and multimodal options, giving shippers flexibility to keep freight moving efficiently when the border is congested.
We manage northbound (Mexico to U.S) and southbound (U.S. to Mexico) shipments, including hazmat, high value, bonded, ambient and temperature-controlled freight.
Local support in Mexico
Nearshoring is booming, and Mexico is a key hub for manufacturing and sourcing.
TQL’s Monterrey office puts us on the ground where it matters, helping shippers leverage nearshoring opportunities while keeping cross-border deliveries reliable and on time.
Being on the ground helps us build strong carrier relationships, communicate clearly, and keep freight flowing smoothly.
Cargo security you can trust
Keep your freight safe, visible and on schedule with TQL’s CTPAT-compliant capacity and access to North America’s largest carrier network.
To protect freight in transit and ensure shipment visibility, we offer real-time tracking through cellular and GPS-enabled equipment, plus covert trackers that reduce the risk of theft, misrouting or delays.
