Moving freight across the U.S.- Mexico or U.S.- Canada border takes more than just a truck, it takes a partner who understands the regulations, documentation, and coordination required to keep your shipment on schedule and in compliance.
At Somerset Logistics, we help businesses move freight across North America with ease, speed, and total visibility.
We move all types of freight across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, including general cargo, temperature-sensitive goods, and over-dimensional or open-deck shipments, using trusted, well-equipped carriers.
Dry Van, Flatbed, and Refrigerated Freight
Our carrier partners meet C-TPAT standards for secure cross-border movement, reducing inspection delays and improving the reliability of your freight.
C-TPAT Compliant Carrier Network
Our Cross-Border freight services
Our bilingual team ensures smooth coordination with drivers, brokers, and customers throughout Mexico and Canada, minimizing miscommunication and delays.
We work closely with licensed customs brokers to ensure every shipment is fully documented, compliant, and cleared quickly through customs on both ends of the border.
Customs Documentation & Broker Coordination
Whether you're moving a full trailer or just a few pallets, we offer scalable options to fit your freight volume, timeline, and budget, without compromising visibility or service.
We build delivery timelines around customs procedures, in-country regulations, and shipper/receiver availability, ensuring realistic, accurate scheduling in both directions.
Full Truckload (FTL) and Less-Than-Truckload Load (LTL) Options
Northbound & Southbound Scheduling Support
You’ll get continuous visibility from pickup to final delivery, including live updates when freight reaches the border, clears customs, or transfers to a domestic carrier.
Real-Time Tracking Across Borders
We manage freight transfers at the border, including transloading, bonded drayage, and drop trailer services, so your goods never get stuck in transit.
Drayage & Border Transfer Support
Bilingual Carrier & Customer Communication
Due to these size restrictions, over-dimensional shipments often require specialized trailers, permits, and escort vehicles to comply with transportation regulations.
We manage every leg of the journey so you can move across borders without hitting roadblocks.
Over-dimensional freight refers to shipments that exceed standard legal size or weight limits set by the Department of Transportation (DOT)
Cross-border shipping involves the transport of goods between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It requires careful coordination of customs documentation, brokerage, transit timing, and carrier compliance, especially when dealing with bonded freight, bilingual communication, and infrastructure differences.
