Is cross-border freight between the US and Mexico actually worth it for owner-operators and small carriers? In this episode of This Week in Trucking, cross-border freight specialist Hector — with 13+ years in US-Mexico operations, safety, compliance, and dispatch — breaks down the real opportunities, hidden costs, and mistakes that catch carriers off guard.

We cover door-to-door cross-border loads, the documentation you need before your first run, Mexican truck insurance, customs delays, rate negotiation differences, compliance on both sides of the border, and why experience matters more than ambition in this lane.
