Navigating the road to Mexico

August 8, 2017

In 2014, Mexico was the seventh largest vehicle producer worldwide and served as an export platform for many of the world’s major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Mexico has been gaining momentum in recent years. In the early 1990s, there was a significant movement away from Mexico and to China and the surrounding countries. This trend has been slowly reversing itself as OEMs and Tier 1s are finding cost savings in bringing production closer to the customer base. OEMs are seeking lower costs for their less profitable vehicles. Three new plants have been built in Mexico in recent years and five more plants have been announced and are in various stages of completion.

What is LTL Freight.

whitePaper | November 24, 2022

Sometimes you’ll have freight that is too large to send with a parcel provider, like the US Postal Service, but too small to fill a standard truck. Most often, trying to move your freight as a parcel or truckload shipment would be costly because it’s not the ideal size for those providers. This is where LTL shipping comes in! LTL is an industry acronym that stands for “less-than-truckload”. LTL refers to those shipments that are, quite literally, less than a truckload. They do not need all the space provided in a standard truck trailer because of their size and/or weight. In this case, you’ll find using an LTL carrier is more cost-effective than using a truckload carrier for your freight.
