What Most People Get Wrong About Cross-Border Freight (Mexico, B1 Drivers & AI) Freight Break: E27

Cross-border freight is one of the most misunderstood parts of the trucking industry — and in this episode, we break it down without the fluff. Josh Hanes and Paul sit down with Matt Silver of Cargado to unpack how freight actually moves between Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. From the surprising lack of cargo insurance in Mexico, to the relay-style handoff at the border, to why B1 drivers may be some of the most compliant drivers on the road, this conversation goes deep fast. We also tackle: How cross-border freight differs between Mexico and Canada Why removing CDL reciprocity would disrupt North American supply chains The role of relationships and partnerships in border cities like Laredo What the Cross-Border Connector event unlocks for brokers and carriers And why AI, autonomous trucking, and tech adoption will reshape freight faster than most people expect If you’re a broker, carrier, or anyone trying to understand the future of freight, this is a must-watch conversation grounded in real experience — not headlines. 🎟️ Cross-Border Connector 📍 Laredo, TX | February 17–18 🔗 https://bcsfreightnetwork.com
