In 2024, just over 330 billion dollars (mdd) were traded between the two countries through the Laredo border port between Mexico and the United States, with Mexico accounting for 98% of the operations.
Of this volume, Mexico’s exports to the United States totaled US$211 billion , while imports from Mexico amounted to US$128 billion.
In this behavior, the automotive and manufacturing industries contributed just over 60% of exports from Mexico, while in the opposite direction they participate with more than 30% of the total, according to figures from the United States Department of Commerce .
In this context, Ximple Logistics (member of the Top 100 of Auto Transport® ) identifies a market of challenges in 2025, but also of opportunities, and that is why they prioritize continuing to work with AAA clients that have operations in both Mexico and the United States and that take advantage of the high commercial integration motivated by the trade agreements that have been developed.
“We are seeing room to make more aggressive decisions in the market, where the differentiator is not getting goods from point A to B, but rather adding value through service, and being able to support customers’ growth decisions,” described Carlos Núñez, general director of Ximple Logistics.
Ximple Logistics is comprised of ABC Autolíneas, TBX USA, South Central Freight LLC and most recently incorporated Raga Express of Nuevo Laredo.
“The addition of Raga was due to three factors: first, to continue with our exponential growth plan; second, to enter a key market such as Nuevo Laredo, avoiding the learning curve and being able to grow on the most important border; and third, to be able to offer door-to-door service with our integration with South Central Freight,” added Carlos Núñez.
Ximple Logistics has focused on implementing technology and processes aimed at being more efficient, which is why Raga Express was able to integrate into the operation in four months, while the previous acquisition had taken eight months.
With this new structure and focused on the binational market, Ximple Logistics is able to simplify the administrative process with clients, taking advantage of economies of scale to benefit its efficiency and operations with clients.
In the first half of the year, Ximple Logistics is adding 50 additional tractor-trailers to its fleet, bringing its fleet to nearly 300 , which will allow it to maintain the efficiency of its operation, since they will be managed with the same personnel and technology structure. “It is a matter of processes and the capacity of the collaborators,” added the interviewee.
Ximple Logistics has a strategic line outlined by three elements, where the first is the implementation of technology to be more efficient; the second is the growth of sales through the rationalization of the client portfolio, “we want to have better clients; and the third is the development of operators and the family integration that we can achieve, we have to ensure that the operator remains happy working in the company,” described Carlos Núñez.
