Export and Import Freight en Lincoln

Lincoln, Nebraska, sits at the crossroads of American commerce. Positioned along the I-80 transcontinental corridor, this city connects agricultural heartlands to international markets with remarkable efficiency. For businesses in Lincoln that depend on moving goods across borders, Control Terrestre provides dedicated full truckload export and import freight services spanning North America and Central America.

Strategic access to international trade corridors

Lincoln's geography offers a distinct advantage for export and import operations. The I-80 corridor runs directly through the city, linking the Pacific coast ports to major eastern distribution centers in a single continuous route. From Lincoln, freight moves south through Kansas City to connect with I-35, the primary artery feeding into Laredo, Texas, the busiest commercial land port on the U.S.-Mexico border. This positioning places Lincoln roughly equidistant from Gulf Coast ports and Pacific ports, giving shippers flexibility in routing international cargo depending on final destination and origin.

Control Terrestre leverages these corridor advantages to coordinate full truckload movements from Lincoln to border crossings, port facilities, and final destinations throughout Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Central America.

Agricultural exports from Nebraska's production core

Nebraska ranks among the top agricultural producing states in the country. Lincoln and its surrounding region generate massive volumes of corn, soybeans, beef, and processed food products destined for international buyers. Control Terrestre operates a diversified fleet including 53-foot dry vans for packaged and processed goods, refrigerated trailers for temperature-sensitive beef and perishable products, hopper trailers for bulk grain shipments, and tanker units for liquid agricultural commodities.

For beef exporters shipping to Mexican markets, our operations through the Laredo corridor provide a direct path from Lincoln-area processing plants to distribution points south of the border. Grain shippers moving product to Gulf ports for overseas export benefit from our familiarity with port-area logistics and the documentation coordination that international shipments demand.

Import freight for Lincoln's manufacturing and retail sectors

Lincoln's economy extends well beyond agriculture. The city hosts manufacturing operations, technology companies, and retail distribution centers that depend on steady inbound flows of equipment, components, raw materials, and consumer goods from international sources. Control Terrestre manages northbound full truckload movements from Mexican manufacturing hubs through border crossings and directly into Nebraska. Our curtain side trailers offer efficient loading for machinery and oversized manufacturing equipment, while standard 48-foot and 53-foot dry vans handle the bulk of general import freight. For businesses importing goods that arrive at U.S. ports via ocean container, our container chassis fleet provides seamless drayage and inland transport.

Cross-border compliance and security certifications

International freight between Lincoln and points in Mexico, Canada, or Central America involves regulatory requirements that demand specialized knowledge. Control Terrestre maintains C-TPAT certification, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection program that validates supply chain security practices. Our FAST certification enables expedited processing at border crossings. BASC certification further validates our commitment to secure international trade practices. We also hold Transporte Limpio, Responsible Care, and Recurso Confiable certifications.

Rail hub integration and multimodal connections

Lincoln benefits from its position as a significant rail hub, with both Union Pacific and BNSF maintaining substantial operations in the area. While Control Terrestre specializes in over-the-road full truckload freight, the presence of rail infrastructure in the region supports the broader logistics ecosystem that keeps freight costs competitive and capacity available for Lincoln shippers.

Control Terrestre operates exclusively as a full truckload freight forwarder. Every shipment receives dedicated equipment, a direct route plan, and individualized attention from pickup through delivery.
