Exciting momentum for cross-border logistics! According to FreightWaves, nearshoring is set to significantly boost cross-border trucking between the U.S. and Mexico in 2024. With $20.3 billion in FDI in Q1 2024 alone, Mexico is becoming a key player in global supply chains. At Ascent Global Logistics, we see this trend as a game-changer for logistics and supply chain management. Nearshoring not only reduces lead times but also mitigates risks associated with longer supply chains. Want to learn more about our logistics solutions in Mexico?

🚛 The South Texas Triangle is Thriving! 🌟 The I-35 corridor between Laredo and San Antonio has emerged as a crucial supply chain artery, connecting Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This corridor is responsible for the flow of over 20,000 trucks daily, ensuring timely delivery of goods across North America. The economic impact is profound, with Port Laredo ranking No. 1 in value among all U.S. ports. However, with growth comes challenges—modernizing infrastructure and leveraging technology, including AI and real-time traffic monitoring, is imperative. As we focus on strategic planning and innovation, it’s important to pay attention to the I-35 corridor and to support the ongoing success of this key supply chain and ensure a sustainable future for our region and beyond. #SouthTexas #I35Corridor #SupplyChain #Infrastructure #Innovation #Trade #EconomicGrowth

Meet part of the #SOFWeek2024 logistics team. Logistics is often done behind the scenes. It’s easy to identify a logistics problem, but difficult to appreciate the effort behind coordinating logistics solutions. I appreciate Mark Moyer for coordinating much of the transportation support in the Tampa area for SOF Week. I appreciate Ashley Selfridge for managing the assignment of hundreds of hotel rooms for SOF Week attendees. #socom #logistics #transportation #tampa #pmp

New routes, nearshoring, and environmental care efforts among other factors are expected to trigger the growth of intermodal transportation in Mexico this year compared to the 9% year-on-year increase recorded in 2023. Diego Anchustegui, president of the Mexican Association of Intermodal Transportation (AMTI), mentioned that they estimate a double-digit growth in many of the routes, an increase in cross-border intermodal transportation of 5%, and double-digits in domestic intermodal transportation, which was up 36% year-on-year in 2023.   #intermodal #freightlogistics #logisticamexico #freightforwarder #seafreight #landfreight #airfreight #intermodalfreight #intermodalshipping   +52 (81) 8174 8000 www.crossdock.mx

The latest Freightvine podcast is out today featuring a conversation with Keith Brandis from Volvo Trucks North America. We talk about the challenges of decarbonizing supply chains - especially freight transportation - and the three pronged approach that Volvo has. I learned a lot - take a listen! As always, I end the podcast with a truckload market update using the most recent data collected from the >$100B in annual transportation transactions that we analyze at DAT Freight & Analytics. #truckload #decarbonization #trucking #sustainability

Dude? What I say. 😂 Cross-border US/MX trade consistent from inception & the end of NAFTA. (1994-2020) 26 years of preferred Duty status ($0/minimal) boosted the MX Peso, with US companies that opened locations in...? Cost of labor in MX over US or CA is cheaper where? Now bring those bad boys up (finished or VAS goods) cross the border into the US and what'd you know? It's a NAFTA shipment, (zero or preferred status) Duty. Look at our margins! Dude, brilliant! 26 years, wow what a run. Wonder if the uptick, is from product 'outside' of Mexico that piggyback Markings: Made in MX, Product of MX, Partially assembled in MX, etc.

As 2024 progresses, brands are reevaluating their operations to find cost saving measures before peak season. Nearshoring is one solution. This can be done in a crawl-walk-run method that limits disruption to current operations.
