Transloading & Warehousing

Storage and Transloading at the Border.

Laredo-based warehousing connected to your customs and carrier operations.

Freight crossing the US-Mexico border often needs more than a carrier and a customs broker. It needs a place to land when shipments arrive ahead of schedule, a facility to transfer cargo between Mexico and US equipment, and a team that can redistribute inbound loads to multiple U.S. destinations without losing visibility. Our Laredo facility provides all of it under the same team that coordinates your freight and customs operations.

Why Location Changes Everything

A Laredo warehouse isn't just storage. It's a position in the supply chain.

Laredo, Texas is the largest inland port on the US-Mexico border. More than 50 percent of all truck freight moving between the United States and Mexico passes through this corridor. A warehousing facility positioned here gives importers and distributors the ability to consolidate inbound freight from multiple Mexican suppliers, transload from Mexico-registered trailers to US-registered equipment, and redistribute to multiple US destinations from a single point without managing a separate inland distribution center.

Most cross-border shippers run into the same operational gap: the Mexico-side carrier delivers to the crossing, the freight clears customs, and then the US-side carrier takes it to a single destination. If the load needs to split to three distribution centers, or if the inbound shipment arrives before the receiving facility is ready, there's nowhere for the freight to go without adding cost and handling. Our Laredo facility solves both problems: freight can be held, sorted, consolidated, or redistributed here without leaving the border zone.

Because warehousing is operated by the same team that handles your freight and customs coordination, there is no handoff between a separate warehouse operator and a separate customs broker and a separate carrier. Inbound documentation is prepared and filed while the freight is in our facility. Outbound dispatch to US destinations is coordinated directly from the warehouse. You get one point of contact managing the inventory, the documentation, and the outbound carrier assignments simultaneously.

How It Works

From inbound receipt to outbound dispatch under one roof.

Freight moving through our Laredo facility follows a coordinated process that links the inbound customs event, the warehouse operation, and the outbound carrier dispatch without switching between separate service providers at each step.

1
Inbound Coordination

Mexico-side carrier and delivery date confirmed. Customs documentation initiated before the truck departs the origin facility. Receiving appointment scheduled at our Laredo warehouse to align with the truck's estimated arrival at the crossing.

2
Customs Clearance

Pedimento and US CBP entry filed while the truck is in transit. Previo inspection coordinated at the Mexican customs facility. Freight crosses the border with documentation already processed, minimizing hold time at the port of entry.

3
Receiving and Verification

Freight arrives at our Laredo facility. Piece count verified against packing list. Discrepancies documented and reported immediately. Cargo photographed and logged into inventory. Short-term or long-term storage assigned based on the outbound schedule.

4
Transload or Consolidation

Freight transferred from Mexico-registered trailers to US-registered equipment for domestic distribution. Loads from multiple inbound shipments can be consolidated onto a single outbound trailer. Split loads distributed across multiple destinations as required by the delivery plan.

5
Outbound Dispatch

US-side carriers dispatched to final destinations directly from our facility. Delivery appointments confirmed before departure. POD captured and sent to your team upon delivery. Inventory records updated in real time throughout the outbound process.

"Laredo is where freight decisions get made. Being here isn't a convenience. It's a structural advantage."

Common Questions

Warehousing and Transloading FAQ.

Transloading is the process of transferring freight from one trailer to another, typically at a border facility. On the US-Mexico corridor, transloading is required because Mexican-registered trailers are not legally permitted to operate on US roads beyond a limited commercial zone near the border, and US-registered trailers generally cannot operate in Mexico beyond the immediate border area. This means that most cross-border truck freight must physically transfer between a Mexico-registered trailer and a US-registered trailer at or near the border crossing. At PC Global Logistics, transloading happens at our Laredo facility. The Mexico carrier delivers the freight, our team transfers it to a US-registered trailer, and the US carrier dispatches to the final destination. The piece count is verified during the transfer and any discrepancies are documented before the outbound truck departs.
Short-term storage from 1 to 30 days is a standard service available for freight pending outbound dispatch, load consolidation, or a receiving appointment at the US destination facility. Long-term storage beyond 30 days is available on a capacity-dependent basis and is typically arranged in advance for importers managing ongoing border inventory. Storage rates vary based on the volume of freight, the dwell time, and whether the freight requires any additional handling such as consolidation or split distribution. Contact us with your expected inbound volume, commodity, and anticipated dwell time and we will confirm availability and pricing before your first shipment arrives at the facility.
Yes. Load consolidation is one of the core warehousing functions at our Laredo facility. Importers who source from multiple suppliers in Mexico can direct all inbound shipments to our facility, where freight from different origins is held until enough volume accumulates to fill an outbound US trailer. This eliminates the cost of moving multiple partial loads individually across the border and reduces the number of customs entries and carrier bookings required for the same total volume. The consolidation timeline depends on the inbound shipment schedule from each origin. We coordinate with your team to define the outbound dispatch cadence that matches your US distribution schedule. If you are currently receiving separate small loads from multiple Mexican suppliers and paying individual freight rates for each one, consolidation at our Laredo facility may significantly reduce your total landed cost per unit.
Because the warehouse team and the customs coordination team are the same operation, documentation preparation begins before the freight arrives at our facility rather than after it does. When a shipment is booked for inbound receipt, we initiate the customs documentation process simultaneously: pedimento filing on the Mexico side, US CBP entry preparation, and any additional permits required for the commodity. By the time the truck reaches the border crossing, the clearance is either already approved or in final processing. The freight arrives at our warehouse with minimal additional delay from customs holds. If there is a documentation issue at the port of entry, our team resolves it from the same office managing your warehouse inventory. There is no separate customs broker you need to contact to find out what's holding up your freight. For the full breakdown of how we manage customs documentation on cross-border shipments, see our Customs Coordination service.
