After more than two decades without an electoral process in the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) , and where the president of the organization had been chosen under the figure of the unity candidate, this February 13th the votes will be held to designate the next leader of the institution.

In the electoral process taking place in Canacar to elect the organization’s 14th president, to succeed Miguel Ángel Martínez Millán, Ramiro Montemayor of Transportes Mon-Ro and Augusto Ramos of Grupo RAME are competing ; and it should be remembered that the latter was joined by the former candidate, Rómulo Mejía , of Transportes Romedu.

In this context, Alfredo Cárdenas Garza, delegate of Canacar in Jalisco, called for a Civic Electoral Decalogue on the path of the process of electing the next president, promoting participation in a responsible, peaceful and ethical manner.

The ten commandments consist of the following points:

1. We call upon all members from all delegations and regions to come and vote to strengthen the legitimacy of our Canacar representation, which unites the purposes of moving forward as entrepreneurs, friends, colleagues and family.
2. Let’s solidify the Canacar 2026 election with an example of responsible participation at the national level, for a strong representation.
3. The doors of each delegation and representation are and have been open, with respect and plurality, to all options participating in the process.
4. Let’s participate and choose February 13, 2026 to strengthen the interests of our companies and their optimal representation from our national organization.
5. Every vote will contribute to a stronger , more reliable, and more responsible representation for all of us.
6. Active participation will reflect a commitment to the future of Canacar.
7. Voting is exercising responsibility for the corporate interests of our companies.
8. A participatory election will consolidate the voice of the trucking industry before the bodies that regulate and promote us as a freight trucking sector in Mexico and in each region.
9. The strength of Canacar will be reinforced by the civic participation of all members.
10. Canacar members demonstrate leadership when we participate actively and in an orderly manner.

The elections for president of Canacar, which will take place on February 13, will be held in the various delegations throughout the country of this institution, as well as at the national headquarters located in Mexico City.

After the election process and once the president-elect has been defined, the National Assembly will be held on March 2nd where the new members of the National Governing Council will be sworn in.

El cargo Canacar promotes civic and electoral ten-point plan ahead of election apareció primero en T21.

Recently appointed delegate of the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) in Jalisco, Alfredo Cárdenas, who is also president of Transportes Innovativos , explained in an interview with T21 that during his management as representative of transporters in the entity he will seek to work closely with the new generation of transportation entrepreneurs .

“We have the opportunity to combine experience with the youth of the new generations of transport entrepreneurs, which is why we invited them to work and continue the excellent work done by the delegates who preceded me,” explained Cárdenas.

The new Canacar delegate in Jalisco commented that at the moment approximately 80% of his associates are members of second and third generations of transporters , this is due to the vision they have of business and their willingness to learn from the generations that precede them.

“It will be very interesting for them to remain at the head of the companies, so it is necessary to prepare them not only in business, but also in approaches and dialogue with the authorities and with the industrial chambers to improve the auto transport,” he said.

Working as a delegate

Regarding the issues that must be addressed by the Canacar delegation, the businessman indicated that one of the most important is to continue the professionalization of transport and to have a closer relationship with the training centers for male and female operators, “to try to mitigate the lack of operators a little and not have so many units stopped. Above all, to promote female operators, starting with Guadalajara, which is a region where they could be incorporated more easily due to the size of the units and the short routes.”

On the other hand, he explained that in the matter of theft from motor transport, Canacar will continue its relationship with the authorities, as it has done until now. “There is a General Strategic Coordination of Security in the state of which we are members, we are going to try to be more constant in the meetings to establish security methods, although we as transporters cannot end the insecurity of motor transport, we can propose strategies together with our clients and the authorities to confront it,” he affirmed.

The businessman also focused on the need to address the lack of specialized infrastructure for the transportation of goods and merchandise, especially in the state capital. “There is a lack of proper avenues for auto transport, whether macro peripherals or metropolitan circuits through which we can circulate. In addition, there is no surveillance and communication of security systems fails, so we have to work based on security coordination so that all problems are addressed,” he said.

Added to the above is the lack of signage, which leads operators who do not circulate very frequently in Guadalajara to fail to comply with traffic and time restrictions .

In this regard, he was emphatic in stating that joint work with the authorities is a priority to improve the conditions of the sector. “ Our job is also to inform foreign operators of the hours and routes on which they can circulate , through the other delegations of the chamber,” he commented.

Finally, on a personal level, Alfredo Cárdenas said that taking over the Canacar delegation in Jalisco has been a challenge, although it should be noted that the position is not foreign to him, since he was in this same place three decades ago. However, this time everything is very different.

“We didn’t have the insecurity we have now and we didn’t have the teams we have today, but currently there is more cooperation from the authorities in terms of dialogue so that we can do things together. But, above all, we have the advantage that the second and third generations of transporters bring other training, disposition and the tools to solve transportation problems. I hope that in the time I have I can hand over a delegation with trained people who can do things differently,” said the businessman who recently celebrated 50 years of dedicating himself to cargo transportation.
