The relocation of manufacturing operations to Mexico, driven by proximity to the United States and the search for more resilient supply chains, has increased freight demand across the industrial corridors of northern and central Mexico. For companies arriving or expanding operations, choosing the right logistics partner is as critical as choosing the plant site.
The impact of nearshoring on freight transportation
More plants mean more movements of inputs, components and finished goods, with little tolerance for delays under the lean production schedules that define these operations. A carrier’s ability to scale without sacrificing punctuality becomes a determining factor.
4 criteria for choosing your logistics partner
Evaluate fleet size and age, real coverage across the corridors you need, available tracking and monitoring technology, and whether the provider offers a dedicated account executive or just a generic call center. These four factors reliably predict day-to-day service quality.
