Keep Cross-Border Freight Moving Smoothly

"Over the years, we have worked with various transportation partners, but none have come close to the level of excellence demonstrated by Pinnacle Logistics."

Michael Carter

EVP, Kuka Home

Delivery-First Document Timing

Most cross-border delays happen because DODAs, DODA Consolidado, and U.S. Entry docs get issued too early. Pinnacle reverses that logic. We build the document schedule around your confirmed delivery window so everything stays valid and on time when the truck reaches the border.

Visibility for Every Step

Factories, brokers, and consignees rarely see the full lifecycle of a shipment in one place. Pinnacle consolidates status, document timing, delivery windows, and truck location into a shared view so both sides know what is happening without guessing.

Powerful Features for Modern Cross-Border Freight

Delivery-Aligned Document Control

Time DODA, DODA Consolidado, and U.S. Entry to match the actual delivery appointment and crossing plan.

B1 Driver Options

When freight is floor loaded or damage sensitive, B1 drivers move direct from Mexico to your U.S. facility without risky transloads.

Smart Transload Strategy

If transloading is required, Pinnacle uses vetted cross-dock partners positioned just past the border to minimize handling and risk.

Customs Liaison Support

We coordinate with your customs broker or introduce trusted partners. Our team includes former brokerage staff who ensure both sides stay aligned.

Real Communication Across Borders

We run bilingual operations using channels that get answered. Mexico teams get rapid WhatsApp updates. U.S. consignees get calls, email updates, or a shared dashboard.

Shared Document and Status Visibility

Factory and consignee see the same information in a live dashboard: document issue dates, expiry dates, appointment status, and real-time truck movement.

Proven Results

Delivery‑first document planning

We start with the U.S. delivery time and carrier capacity, then time your DODA, DODA Consolidado, and U.S. Entry so docs are valid when you actually plan to cross – not days before.

B1 drivers and smart transload choices

For floor‑loaded and damage‑sensitive freight like furniture, we specialize in B1 drivers that go direct from Mexico to your U.S. facility, avoiding costly, risky transloads. When transload makes sense, we use vetted cross‑dock partners just past the border.

Customs liaison support

Our team includes people who’ve worked inside customs brokerages. We coordinate with your existing broker or connect you with trusted partners, helping Mexico exporters get properly set up and keeping both sides aligned.

Questions from Our Customers

How does Pinnacle prevent documents from expiring before the truck reaches the border?

We reverse the process. Instead of cutting documents as soon as the truck loads, we start with the confirmed U.S. delivery appointment. Then we time your DODA, DODA Consolidado, and U.S. Entry so they stay valid during the actual crossing window. This prevents re-issuance fees and reduces the chance of inspection.

Do you offer B1 driver options for direct Mexico → U.S. delivery?

Yes. For floor-loaded freight and damage-sensitive goods like furniture, we use B1 drivers who can legally cross and deliver straight to your U.S. facility. This avoids transload costs, reduces handling, and cuts transit time.

What if my Mexico vendors don’t speak English or respond slowly?

We run bilingual operations. Mexico vendors get fast WhatsApp communication and clear instructions in Spanish. Your U.S. team receives structured updates however they prefer: email, phone, or dashboard. Everyone stays aligned without playing translator.

Can Pinnacle work with my current customs broker?

Yes. We coordinate with your existing broker or connect you with trusted partners. Our ops include people who’ve worked inside customs brokerages, so we help prevent filing errors, document mismatches, and unnecessary delays.

Can you handle both FTL and LTL shipments from Mexico?

Yes. Most freight moves FTL because it’s more cost-effective, especially for furniture and bulky goods. But we also run competitive Mexico → U.S. LTL for smaller or more frequent orders.

Do you support Canada cross-border shipments too?

Yes. We run U.S. → Canada and Canada → U.S. freight with the same structure: document alignment, carrier coordination, and clear visibility. The process is simpler than Mexico but benefits from a centralized control tower.

What do you need from us to run a Cross-Border Freight Savings Audit?

Just a recent batch of shipments: PO numbers, lanes, document dates, carrier used, and any related fees (demurrage, detention, storage). We analyze when each document should have been issued versus when it was actually issued, and show where timing created cost.

What types of freight are best suited for Pinnacle’s cross-border setup?

Floor-loaded goods, furniture, appliances, home goods, and any freight where damage, timing, or visibility creates headaches. We also support palletized freight that needs better document control and more consistent crossings.

Ready to Fix Your Cross-Border Headaches?

Send recent shipments, lanes, and document timelines. We will map where timing, communication, and document sequencing are driving cost and delays, then show how Pinnacle improves it.
