What RS Transfer does in Brownsville
RS Transfer coordinates the U.S.–Mexico border transfer at Brownsville, Texas. Freight staged in Matamoros or Río Bravo crosses here and can be handed to partner U.S. carriers for inland movement. On southbound lanes, RS Transfer loads trailers in Brownsville, crosses into Mexico, and takes them long-haul into Mexico.
Our Brownsville terminal is at 744 S Indiana Ave, Brownsville, TX 78521. From here, teams support trailer staging, border operations, and handovers for shippers and brokers who need a controlled Matamoros–Brownsville move.

Port of Brownsville & corridor handoffs
The Port of Brownsville is part of our Brownsville operating footprint. Whether freight is headed to a port-adjacent appointment or a domestic U.S. carrier pickup after the crossing, RS Transfer keeps the transfer leg accountable: equipment assigned, documentation coordinated, and handoff confirmed.
Typical corridor partners on the Mexico side work through Matamoros and Río Bravo. After the Brownsville handoff, inland U.S. legs are covered by partner carriers — so your RFQ stays scoped to what we actually operate.
Shippers choosing Brownsville often need port-adjacent timing, a familiar South Texas handoff, or alignment with a domestic carrier that prefers this gateway. Tell us the appointment window, equipment type, and whether Port of Brownsville is in play; we will confirm the transfer plan before the load moves.

HOW WE MOVE YOUR FREIGHT
Four ways across the border.
- Southbound: U.S. → Mexico. We pick up your load at origin in Brownsville or Pharr, Texas, cross it into Mexico, and haul it to its destination in Mexico.
- Northbound: Mexico → U.S. We pick up at origin in Mexico, cross into Brownsville or Pharr, and deliver there.
- Door-to-door with your U.S. carrier. We take your U.S. carrier's trailer into Mexico, get it loaded, and bring it back to Pharr or Brownsville. From there, your U.S. carrier takes it to its final destination anywhere in the USA or Canada.
- Transload. We also offer transload service. Tell us your lane and we'll confirm the details.
