Full Truckload Shipping Across the Otay Mesa Border
Dedicated dry van capacity moving full truckloads between Mexico and the United States, coordinated door to door with your customs clearance so the freight and the paperwork cross together.
What Full Truckload (FTL) Cross-Border Shipping Is
Full truckload shipping means your freight takes the entire trailer. No other shipper’s cargo shares the space, so there are no LTL terminal stops, no rehandling, and one seal stays on the door from pickup to delivery. For cross-border moves through San Diego and Otay Mesa, that trailer runs dry van equipment on a dedicated basis, picking up at your Mexico origin or U.S. warehouse and running straight to the destination.
The border is where most truckload moves slow down. A shipment has to clear the export side, clear U.S. or Mexican customs on entry, and get physically drayed across the line, often by a transfer carrier that only works the crossing. When the trucking and the customs entry are managed by one team, the trailer is not sitting in a yard waiting on a broker to file. The entry is ready, the driver has the right documents, and the load keeps moving to its final stop.

How we handle it
Book the load and confirm the details
We take the origin, destination, commodity, weight, and ready date. We confirm dry van is the right equipment and flag anything about the commodity that will affect the customs entry before the truck is dispatched.
Pickup and pre-clearance prep
The trailer loads at origin under a single seal. While it moves toward the border, we build the customs entry and line up the export and import documents so nothing is waiting to be created at the crossing.
Clear customs and cross the line
We file the entry and coordinate the drayage across Otay Mesa. Because the paperwork is ready when the trailer arrives, the freight clears and transfers instead of parking in a yard.
Drayage to final destination
Once across, the load runs to its delivery point. You get status at each stage, and one team answers for both the trucking and the clearance if anything needs a decision.
