+1 (818) 600-0008Freight between Los Angeles and Mexico, coordinated as one move. Pickup,
the border, and final delivery handled by a single team, whether your load is
heading south to Monterrey or north to a SoCal distribution center.
Mexico is the United States' largest trading partner, and the center of that trade is Laredo. It is the busiest land port in the country and the single largest US trade gateway by value, the crossing point for the Monterrey industrial corridor, the automotive supply chain, and the nearshoring wave moving production into northeast Mexico. When AEEM routes Los Angeles freight to or from interior Mexico, Laredo is the default crossing, and the lane is built around it: I-10 east from Los Angeles County, the World Trade Bridge, and the Monterrey corridor on the far side.
AEEM coordinates the full move in both directions. Automotive parts, produce, electronics, and manufactured goods dominate these corridors, much of it tied to maquiladora and nearshoring production, and each moves on its own rhythm of paperwork and border timing. We plan the crossing, the handoff structure, and the delivery window before the truck leaves the dock.

Mexico to US. Northbound freight from Monterrey, Saltillo, and the industrial northeast runs the short haul to Nuevo Laredo, crosses at the World Trade Bridge, and turns west on I-10 toward Los Angeles, or feeds the I-35 corridor for other US destinations. Interchange happens at the border: a drayage carrier handles the crossing and a US carrier takes the linehaul, and we structure that handoff so the load keeps moving. Baja production out of Tijuana and Mexicali crosses at Otay Mesa and Calexico East and reaches Los Angeles County the same day.
US to Mexico. Southbound loads out of Los Angeles run I-10 east to Laredo for Monterrey and interior Mexico, the reverse of the northbound structure with the Mexican carrier interchange planned before pickup, not at the gate. Baja destinations route south on I-5 to Otay Mesa. Bonded movement is available when entry happens inland rather than at the crossing.

Transit times, crossings, and what the border actually requires.
Door to door transit from Los Angeles to Monterrey typically runs 3 to 5 days, depending on service level, crossing selection, and border timing. Baja destinations like Tijuana and Mexicali deliver in 1 to 2 days. We confirm the transit window when we quote the load.
Usually, yes. Most US-Mexico freight interchanges at the border, with a drayage carrier handling the crossing and a Mexican carrier running the domestic leg. Through-trailer service exists on some lanes but interchange is the standard structure. We plan the handoff before pickup so the load never sits waiting for its next truck.
A commercial invoice, a bill of lading, the applicable customs entry on each side, and the Mexican carrier's transport documentation for the domestic leg. Entry documentation is prepared and sequenced by our team and handled by licensed customs brokers on both sides of the border.
Many goods qualify for preferential duty treatment under USMCA when they meet the agreement's origin rules and are properly certified. Qualification depends on your product and its inputs, and your customs broker confirms eligibility per shipment. We coordinate the documentation flow so certified goods get the treatment they qualify for.
Laredo is our primary crossing for interior Mexico. It is the largest US trade gateway by value and the direct route to Monterrey and the northeast industrial corridor. Otay Mesa and Calexico East serve Baja and West Coast Mexico freight, and Nogales serves Sonora. Crossing selection is part of route planning, not an afterthought.
Yes. Many customers run freight in both directions, and we coordinate round-trip and backhaul programs across the border. One point of contact covers both legs, which simplifies scheduling and keeps documentation consistent.
