The demonstrations announced for November 24th remain a possibility, after the National Association of Transporters (ANTAC) reiterated its call to operators and users not to go out on the road during the day of protests.
The message, disseminated through its legal department, warned that the mobilization would take place in different parts of the country to demand better security conditions.
According to the organization, the protest is a response to the increase in highway robberies , the lack of effective results in security matters by state and national governments, and the need to highlight the situation faced by both transporters and agricultural producers.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Interior reiterated its willingness to engage in dialogue following the announcement of potential blockades. In a statement, the Ministry called for a working group meeting this Monday, November 24, at 11:00 a.m., with the participation of agencies such as the National Water Commission , the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development , and the Ministry of Economy , to address the concerns of truckers and producers. The Ministry of the Interior urged the organizations to avoid disrupting free transit and emphasized that inter-institutional dialogue is the appropriate way to develop joint solutions.
ANTAC reiterated that the call not only addresses demands from the trucking industry, but also claims from the agricultural sector, with whom they maintain coordination.
According to figures from the National Association of Vehicle Tracking and Protection Companies (ANERPV) , more than two thousand cargo thefts were reported between January and October 2025, although it warns that the real figure could be higher due to unreported incidents.
The agency notes that 80% of cargo truck robberies are committed with violence and follow defined patterns: they occur mainly from Monday to Friday and are concentrated at night or in the early morning (between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m.), as well as from 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. onward on routes such as the Mexico City-Querétaro highway. Highways in central Mexico and the Bajío region, including the Mexico City-Puebla highway, the Mexico City-Querétaro highway, the Arco Norte highway, and Highway 57, remain among the most dangerous.
In this context, the president of the Communications and Transportation Commission of the Chamber of Deputies , Víctor Manuel Pérez, warned that highway insecurity not only affects national trucking, but also has international implications, to the point of becoming a point of attention for the United States during the next review of the USMCA trade agreement .
According to the legislator, companies and foreign trade organizations from the neighboring country have requested urgent attention to the issue as part of the discussions leading up to the 2026 process.
The truckers who called for the demonstration explained that the mobilization aims to demand greater protection on the roads, denounce the persecution of producers, and demand better conditions for those who transport and sell goods. They also indicated that the actions would take place “throughout the country,” without specifying concrete locations in their statement.
The protests have caused disruptions on several strategic routes across the country. These include highways connecting to the Valley of Mexico, such as the Mexico-Toluca, Mexico-Querétaro, Mexico-Pachuca, Mexico-Puebla, and Mexico-Cuernavaca highways, as well as the stretch leading to Acapulco.
Complications are also reported in states such as San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Sonora, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Jalisco, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Campeche, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Baja California, Colima and Nayarit, among others.
As the protests continue, the Ministry of the Interior (Segob) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) are maintaining dialogue with transportation and farming organizations to minimize disruptions. The agencies have insisted that an agreement is the way to address the conflicts, guaranteeing both freedom of expression and freedom of movement.
The National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) reiterated in recent days that it will not participate in blockades and that the only responsible way to address the concerns of the sector is through institutional dialogue.
