Small national motor transport companies account for almost 2.1% of the sector’s economic units , but with nearly 17% of the federal public service vehicle fleet , according to figures from the General Directorate of Federal Motor Transport (DGAF) .
One of the biggest challenges for trucking companies across all sectors, and especially in this segment, is achieving a generational transition that allows for business continuity, and the biggest obstacle is ensuring that the next generations assume the same level of commitment as the founding partners .
The opposite has been the case for Ignacio Díaz, who is the second generation in the freight transport business, but since joining he has had a steady rise and has taken the family business, Multifletes, to better levels.
“Since my training as an Industrial Engineer at Anáhuac University, logistics was one of the constants in my education , in order to identify areas for improvement and better position the use of assets in supply chains,” shared Ignacio Díaz, current director of Multifletes.
Ignacio’s story in freight transport and logistics is one of the 21 careers recognized in the special “The 21 Young People of T21 2026” .
In 2009, he joined the family business with a fleet of three trucks, primarily focused on regional routes. Since then, the company has grown its fleet almost fifteenfold and diversified its services , even becoming a transportation provider for AAA multinational clients.
To achieve this progress in the company, his holistic vision was key, involving himself in all areas such as operation, maintenance, dispatch, administration, sales, settlements and a substantial part in this market, the link with the operators.
Part of Multifletes’ growth has been the market diversification achieved under Ignacio’s leadership, allowing them to participate in general cargo, refrigerated goods, last mile delivery, hazardous materials, and Hazmat.
Ignacio is aware that solid progress for the company requires that the management team also be up-to-date and at the forefront ; therefore, he keeps himself current with courses in transport company management, resource optimization, road safety and asset security, financing, among others, through the training networks of the National Chamber of Freight Transport (Canacar) , CESVI , Nacional Financiera , and others.
