Where will my shipment cross the border?

All door-to-door LTL shipments cross at Laredo, TX. All shipments to or from the border will cross at XPO's border crossing locations. The exact location will be dependent on the destination/origin city in Mexico. Contact your customs broker to identify the exact border crossing locations for XPO shipments to and from the border.
