In March 2026, the National Board of Directors of the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) will be renewed , so members will have to elect a new president of the organization, after the current leader, Miguel Ángel Martínez Millán, completes his third term in that position.
Coincidentally, yesterday, two of the businessmen who have expressed their intentions to run for the presidency of Canacar— Ramiro Montemayor García and Rómulo Mejía Durán —officially announced their intentions to launch their campaign for the chamber’s top post.
In a meeting with various business leaders from the northeast and west, Ramiro Montemayor stated that if he becomes president of Canacar, he will focus on creating a National Executive Council of Administration. “There will be no presidential system, and the strengths of the current presidency will be leveraged,” he explained during a brief message he shared.
Among the lines of action, Montemayor García announced that they will continue working directly with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation (SICT) and the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) to strengthen road safety.
“We will seek financial certification, greater certainty in the operation of companies, the dignification of operators, the creation of the Canacar Transportation University, and the technological upgrade of internal systems to provide better service to partners and branches,” he described.
Several business leaders endorsed Ramiro Montemayor’s career in the trucking industry. He has worked for over 30 years as an administrator at Transportes Mon-Ro , treasurer of the Nuevo Laredo Cargo Services Center (CenSeCar) , and has served as Treasurer and General Vice President during the current administration of Canacar.
Manuel Montemayor Morineau, president of Grupo Mon-Ro, said that Ramiro has prepared himself for this position and has the experience to lead the union. He also “wishes him an excellent performance as president and unity candidate. You have the support of the Montemayor family.”
One of the constants among the business leaders who participated in the September 17 meeting was the desire to seek a unified candidacy, with the goal of strengthening the transportation industry.
Romulo Mejia: Canacar must be strong and recognized
Yesterday afternoon, Rómulo Mejía Durán, general director of Transporte Romedú, posted a message on his LinkedIn account stating: “Today my campaign for the presidency of Canacar kicks off. I hope to count on your support.”
Despite having already held meetings with various transportation groups in regions such as Guadalajara, Rómulo Mejía launched the message to express his intention to seek Canacar’s presence.
In the video, which lasts less than two minutes, the candidate for the presidency of Canacar explains that this “is the only chamber that represents us; it must be strong and recognized, with the ability to have a say and vote on the decisions that move the country.”
To achieve this, he stated that he wants to work in a competitive, safe industry that generates greater value in the country’s economic and social life.
With 35 years of experience as a transporter and current Canacar representative in Monterrey , Rómulo Mejía asserted that he will work to place the trucking industry in the place it deserves.
