RGC Freight, half a century moving forward with values

In 1973, the freight transport industry underwent regulation , which defined routes and concessions. This allowed for the consolidated growth of companies, expanding to meet market needs.

In 1989, with the deregulation orchestrated by then-President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, many companies were unable to cope with an opening of the market, and those that remain to this day have had to evolve and innovate to continue on the path .

The above is the path followed by Fletes RGC (member of the Top 100 of Motor Transport® ), which emerged in 1973, and which allows it to have a solid origin and add the experience of five decades of constant evolution .

Fletes RGC’s journey has milestones that are the chassis that allow them to be protagonists in the various markets in which they participate.

Fletes RGC’s value proposition in the market is key: fulfilling commitments to customers, generating value for the market, establishing long-term, trusting relationships, a diversified portfolio of services, and a modern infrastructure.

Capacity and experience

The freight transport market has a natural condition: fragmentation; there are 220,718 business entities, which have 1,486,276 units, both trailers and tractors.

In this universe of options, companies must find differentiating factors to achieve constant progress in the sector.

For Fletes RGC, as part of showing itself as a solution for its clients and the markets it serves, territorial expansion to broaden its portfolio and area of influence has been key in its 50-year history, said Kevin Salazar, Operations Manager.

In addition to its presence, Fletes RGC has been proactive in incorporating technology to be more efficient in its operations, but also as added value for its clients to provide traceability and predictability in their shipments, and in the case of handling temperature-controlled goods, to have the peace of mind that it is operated properly .

“We are allies of our clients, where we assume a commercial partnership to share efficiencies and productivity, finding ways to establish solid relationships and where, more than a supplier, we are an ally for constant improvement,” added Kevin Salazar.

While it has a predominant presence in the temperature-controlled market, with one of the three largest fleets in the country, it also has general cargo services in various vehicle configurations, as well as specialized cargo.

Regarding its coverage, Fletes RGC has mapped the territory with various areas of focus, which they have defined as North Pacific, South Pacific, Middle Southeast, Long Southeast, Short Southeast ; in addition to its main area of influence in the Northeast and the border points of McAllen and Laredo, Texas.
