Route notes
The shortest move on the border and one of the most important. A transfer (drayage) truck takes the trailer from a Nuevo Laredo yard over the World Trade Bridge or the Colombia Solidarity Bridge to CBP in Laredo. We time it with live wait times and have both customs filings ready first.
Customs filings are made by licensed brokers on each side and freight is moved by authorized carriers. Mexico Connect coordinates the whole move.
Questions
How long does a Nuevo Laredo to Laredo crossing take?
Most transfers cross the same day when both customs filings are ready. Bridge traffic and CBP inspection selection can add hours.
Which bridge do trucks use at Laredo?
Commercial trucks cross on the World Trade Bridge or the Colombia Solidarity Bridge. We pick based on live wait times and your load.
Do you handle customs on both sides?
Yes. Licensed brokers file the Mexican pedimento and the U.S. entry, and we coordinate both so you have one point of contact.
