Why Pharr matters on this corridor
Pharr, Texas is a key U.S. handoff point for RS Transfer’s Matamoros–South Texas border moves. When the lane calls for a Pharr delivery instead of — or in addition to — Brownsville, we coordinate Mexico-side trailer preparation and the crossing so partner U.S. carriers can pick up on the Texas side with clear documentation.
Pharr sits in the Pharr–Reynosa corridor that many shippers already use for Reynosa-adjacent and broader Rio Grande Valley freight. RS Transfer loads trailers in Pharr, crosses into Mexico, and runs long-haul into Mexico. Inland U.S. legs after a Pharr handoff are covered by partner carriers.
What we operate (and what partners cover)
RS Transfer handles the transfer between Matamoros / Río Bravo and the U.S. handover at Pharr. After that handoff, inland U.S. legs are covered by partner U.S. carriers. On southbound lanes, RS Transfer loads in Pharr, crosses into Mexico, and takes the freight long-haul into Mexico.
Pharr is an RS Transfer operating point and U.S. handoff location on this corridor. Contact operations with your quote request for appointment windows and yard guidance.
Choosing Pharr vs Brownsville usually comes down to the receiving carrier, the consignee’s region, and bridge or appointment constraints. Share those constraints in the quote request. We will recommend the load point that fits the lane.
Equipment for Pharr handoffs
Pharr transfers use the same equipment set as the rest of our border network:
- Dry van for general freight
- Refrigerated (reefer) for temperature-conscious loads
- Flatbed for industrial and specialized freight
RS Transfer is CTPAT certified. Share lane, equipment type, commodity, weight, and requested dates on the quote form so we can confirm Pharr vs Brownsville handoff fit.
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.
RS Transfer and Internacional de Carga RS run the border crossing and the Mexico leg together. Moves inside the U.S. and Canada are handled by U.S. carriers.
