At a toll plaza to the west of the central Mexico city of Queretaro, where the group spent Saturday night, police helped find trucks to take migrants and prevented them from trying to stop drivers themselves.
The government of Queretaro said via Twitter that 6531 migrants had moved through the state between Friday and Saturday.
It said that 5771 of those were departing on Sunday morning after staying in three shelters it had prepared, the largest of which was a soccer stadium in the state capital.
Those numbers appeared even higher than counts made by officials when the group was in Mexico City for several days, raising the possibility that other migrants have caught up to the main caravan.
Starting out before dawn, the migrants went on to Irapuato, an agricultural city about 100 kilometres to the west in neighbouring Guanajuato state, and set up camp around a local family centre and small sports complex.
As on other days, the migrants jumped at any opportunity to catch rides.
They piled onto flatbed trucks, hung from car carrier trailers and even stacked themselves four levels high on a truck that usually carries pigs.
Miguel Ortiz of Honduras reclined in the pig trailer with his wife and son.
He said they were headed to US for a better life where they could work for more than just putting food on the table.
Maria Isabel Reyes, 39, of Honduras travelled with her three daughters and a granddaughter.
"I feel happy by the grace of God," she said. "Because we're advancing little by little, but all of us here are moving forward."
The migrants appear to be on a path toward Tijuana across the border from San Diego, which is still some 2,575 kilometres away.
The caravan became a campaign issue in US midterm elections and US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of over 5000 military troops to the border to fend off the migrants.
