With more than 67,000 kilometers traveled and a 95-point safety rating, Cortez was also recently recognized with the National Road Safety Award from the National Association of Private Transportation (ANTP) .
Paquetexpress , whose fleet exceeds 3,500 units, recorded a 40% decrease in accidents nationwide, thanks to the analysis of driving data and the implementation of individualized performance reports.
According to the file submitted, these reports have strengthened the company’s culture of prevention.
Finalists with their own strategies
For its part, Garcia’s Trucking , a family-owned business with three decades of operation, implemented automated alerts to respond to signal inhibitors ( jammers ) and reported a 77% reduction in its accident rate, as well as an increase in asset recovery.
Meanwhile, Grupo Express del Norte , with a presence in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, recovered all of the stolen units and merchandise valued at more than $169,000.
