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.

“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.
