In 2025, the Ministry of Economy, through the Planning and Evaluation Unit, launched Ruta Logística, a professionalization scheme for the logistics sector, which promotes talent development and encourages collaboration between industry, academia, and government.

In its inaugural year, Ruta Logística attracted more than 10,000 logistics and supply chain professionals , and for this 2026 edition, this initiative has been strengthened with more than 33,000 registrations , which demonstrate the sector’s interest in continuing to promote professionalization, said Carlos Candelaria, head of the Prospective, Planning and Evaluation Unit.

Ruta Logística is an initiative that is immersed in the Management Committee for Competencies for Logistics and Supply Chain , where it is contemplated not only the realization of the Ruta Logística webinars that begin on May 6 and end on June 10.

Ignacio Aguado, Director General of Innovation, Services, and Foreign Trade, reiterated that Ruta Logística is a free, online training program with academic credit. “This time, the focus of the six modules is foreign trade, because that’s what they requested.”

Aguado highlighted that the logistics industry maintains a growth of between 7% and 8%, so this dynamic must be addressed, which has challenges such as infrastructure development, but now the development of capabilities is being addressed.

Ruta Logística is constantly evolving, and therefore, it will address the concerns and needs related to topics such as e-commerce , commented Alexandra Patrón, Director of Logistics and Supply Chain at the Ministry of Economy.

In addition to the Logistics Route initiative, the “First National Logistics Route Forum” is planned , which aims to bring together logistics and supply chain stakeholders to strengthen the sector. This event is scheduled for the second half of the year, after the FIFA World Cup, some matches of which will be played in Mexico.

In addition to the Logistics Route and the aforementioned event, the work of the Skills Committee includes the Certification of Labor Competencies , which has resulted in tripling the certification offer for the logistics and supply chain sector; in 2025, six certifications were achieved; in addition, two more are in legal process within Conocer .

The fourth point being addressed is Microcredentials. By 2026, it is planned that these will be awarded in areas such as: Inventory Management, Route Optimization, Supply Chain Planning, Tariff Classification, Operation of Foreign Trade Promotion Programs, Logistics Risk Management, Reverse Logistics, and AI in the Supply Chain, among others. This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with the National Center for Higher Education Evaluation (Ceneval).

The presentation event for this Logistics Route program was attended by more than 20 organizations from the logistics sector , although the initiative has more than 50 partners.

Eva Muñoz Pineda, president of the Mexican Association of Freight Forwarders (Amacarga), highlighted that Ruta Logística is a favorable space for strengthening logistical capabilities.

Leonardo Gómez, president of the National Association of Private Transportation (ANTP), emphasized the space for sharing best practices, promoting shared knowledge, and achieving greater professionalization, in the context of the logistical challenge that the country has, where in Mexico logistics spending represents 12% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) , while in countries of the region such as the United States the level is at eight percent.

In matters of foreign trade, the challenge is to redefine responsibilities to create a harmonious foreign trade system, “we don’t know how long it will last as an engine of the economy and we must take advantage of it,” said Javier de Jesús Lagunes, president of the National Association of Importers and Exporters of the Mexican Republic (ANIERM).

Logistics Route training is fundamental in updating the data of new generations, reinforcing knowledge and broadening horizons. “We must open a wide spectrum to make an achievable effort towards the sustainability of SMEs,” commented Karina Lerma, a member of the board of directors of Amacarga.

El cargo Logistics Route 2026, enhances the scope of professionalization apareció primero en T21.

NUEVO LAREDO, TAMPS. – In trucking , the difference isn’t in speed, but in the ability to execute each maneuver with control and adherence to protocols. Following this logic, the fourth edition of the Truck Challenge 2026 brought together drivers to test their maneuvering skills in an environment where mistakes result in disqualification.

The competition format focused on technical tests that replicated real-world operating scenarios , with circuits that demanded mastery of reversing, gear shifting, and pinpoint accuracy. Each run, lasting between five and seven minutes, penalized any error, from touching obstacles to breaking basic rules.

During the day, at least 12 operators were disqualified, mainly for not using the seatbelt, a fault that shows that the focus of the event is not competitive in speed, but in operational discipline .

In the Sleeper Cab category , the results were as follows:

• First place: Erik Uriel Sánchez Silva — Land Border Liaison .
• Second place: Adolfo Perea Rosas — TransMex .
• Third place: Tomás Guerrero Rodríguez — Xpress Internacional.

In the Day Cab category , the best performing operators were:

• First place: Arturo Chaires Atilano — YBM Logistics.
• Second place: Javier Jiménez Vázquez — TransMex.
• Third place: Jesús Alfonso Aguilera — FEMA Transport .

The top three places in both categories advance to the MT Tampico final , where the best profiles in the country will gather.

The meeting also reflects one of the sector’s priorities: recognizing the role of the operator within the value chain .

“The engine of international trade is transportation, and without operators there is no transportation,” said Carlos Fernández, general vice president of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) .

Along the same lines, he stressed that these spaces contribute to dignifying the profession and attracting new generations.

“It sparks interest in many young people to join this wonderful profession… with pride in being an operator and learning the trade in a technical way,” he added.

From the organization’s perspective, the focus is also on training and the social impact of the event.

“Transforming lives through education… each comprehensive scholarship we award is a story of overcoming adversity that begins in Nuevo Laredo,” said Yvette Bazán, president of the ATC Foundation .

The initiative is based on a cause-related model, where the resources generated are used to train new operators.

“It’s a fundraising event… the money left over is used to provide scholarships for new operators,” explained Pedro Lozano, president of the Nuevo Laredo Freight Carriers Association (ATC) .

In addition to the technical component, the event incorporated a community focus that was reflected in the interaction between families , companies, and operators . Throughout the day, the space transformed into a lively festival where attendees shared food, music, and recreational activities, while closely following each of the track events.

The atmosphere wasn’t limited to the competition. There were areas designated for children , family activities, and spaces designed to introduce new generations to the trucking industry from a different perspective. Through games, exhibits, and activities, the event also aimed to spark interest in the profession from a young age, in line with the goal of training future drivers and strengthening generational succession within the sector.

“We want to foster a lot of interaction with our families… and encourage new operators, which is what we are most focused on,” Lozano added.

With four editions, the Truck Challenge is consolidating itself as an exercise that transcends competition: it puts at the center the safety, training and recognition of those who sustain the daily operation of freight transport.

El cargo Truck Challenge 2026: Precision behind the wheel defines the best operators apareció primero en T21.

During the presentation of the results of the internal electoral process of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) , the president-elect, Augusto Ramos, outlined the key points that will mark his administration for the 2026-2027 period and confirmed the integration of Rómulo Mejía Durán as general vice president of the organization .

The announcement came after an irreversible trend in their favor was confirmed, in a process that the current president, Miguel Ángel Martínez, described as orderly, transparent and in accordance with the statutes, highlighting the participation in 28 voting centers and the beginning of an institutional transition towards the Ordinary General Assembly on March 2, when the swearing-in of the new National Executive Committee will be formalized.

Five pillars for the 2026-2027 management

In his first message, Ramos assured that his administration will be governed by five non-negotiable principles: radical transparency, permanent accountability, participatory and decentralized government, data-driven decisions, and inclusion without exceptions.

The proposed actions include the periodic publication of management reports , the implementation of a dashboard to measure commitments, and the holding of regional forums to decentralize decision-making. He also indicated that he will rely on technical assessments and statistical analyses, in coordination with specialized institutions, to support the sector’s defense before the authorities.

He emphasized that the Chamber will represent companies of all sizes with equal strength, from single-unit carriers to large fleets.

Security, USMCA and operators at the center

Ramos identified security as the union’s top demand. He proposed promoting secure strategic corridors with technology and real-time coordination, as well as strengthening collaboration with federal and state authorities.

Internationally, he announced that in March they will deliver a diagnosis to the Ministry of Economy on the relevance of road transport in the review of the USMCA, noting that the sector moves most of the goods that pass through the country and participates in more than 100 industrial branches.

Another key focus will be professionalization. The president-elect indicated that they will aim to train more than five thousand operators in the coming year, addressing a shortage that has left thousands of vehicles idle due to a lack of drivers. He also proposed strengthening ongoing training and improving the working conditions of operators as a foundation for competitiveness.

Fleet renewal and institutional strengthening

Regarding vehicle modernization , Ramos acknowledged the drop in sales of new vehicles during 2025 and noted that renewal will require coordinated work with manufacturers and financial institutions, as well as the management of incentives that encourage the replacement of vehicles.

Finally, he reiterated that his presidency does not seek to divide, but to consolidate the organization, and highlighted the incorporation of Rómulo Mejía Durán to the General Vice Presidency as part of a project of union unity.

With this change, Canacar opens a new stage focused on institutionality, verifiable results and greater closeness with the rank and file of the trucking industry.

Driver training in the trucking industry is entering a new phase at Harinas Elizondo . With the addition of an Apex simulator , the company has strengthened its strategy to raise safety and efficiency standards in food distribution, according to Octavio Ramírez, general manager of Elicarga .

The simulator features configurations that include “Kenworth T880 tractor trucks with Cummins X15 engines for configuration with food-grade hoppers, dry vans, and even large trucks. The tool brings operators closer to real-world operating scenarios,” explained José Miguel Montoya, Commercial Director of Apex Simulation and Technology.

Montoya commented that the company’s differentiator is its after-sales system, which he described as the most robust in the simulation market in Mexico.

With technicians distributed in different cities across the country, Apex ensures permanent support to keep the equipment operational.

Customizing the simulators allows operators to face real-life scenarios from their daily work, from distributing flour to customers to optimizing fuel consumption.

“This level of detail in the programming ensures that operators achieve practices close to the reality of the roads and attain greater autonomy in driving,” Montoya added.

Harinas Elizondo ‘s technological investment aims to directly impact the professionalization of approximately 200 operators who are part of its transportation division, Elicarga.

Apex simulators offer more than 200 programmable real-time scenarios, where it is possible to modify parameters such as asphalt type, weather conditions, time of day, as well as unexpected mechanical issues in the engine or clutch.

These environments replicate critical road situations, increasing the responsiveness and sensitivity of operators to risks .

During the implementation process, Eduardo Islas, head of logistics at Elicarga, emphasized the importance of having a team that allows for simulating adverse conditions in a safe environment.

He emphasized that, by practicing in the cabin, operators can make mistakes and correct them without risk, which accelerates learning and increases confidence when joining the road.

The simulator ‘s programming is designed to recreate both fleet configurations and the most common critical situations in daily operation.

“It’s about transferring reality to the simulator so that the operator faces the same complexity as on the road, but with the advantage of doing so in a controlled environment,” he explained.

The new equipment will strengthen the training of operators from its earliest stages, by providing a controlled environment that combines theory and practice.

The methodology includes a week of classroom training , with eight hours a day dedicated to technical and safety fundamentals, followed by a month and a half of practical training in the simulator and with real vehicles.

This scheme will allow for gradual progress: operators of small units will be able to train to handle fifth wheels, and later specialize in double articulated vehicles .

The goal is that upon completion of the process, participants will be ready to fully integrate into the company’s cargo operations.

With this investment, Harinas Elizondo and its transport arm consolidate a continuous improvement model, with the support of Apex , that encompasses safety, efficiency and quality in the supply chain, key elements in the distribution of food products.

The morning began with a powerful message: in Mexican trucking, professionalization is no longer just a goal, it’s a way of moving the country forward . The presentation of the 2025 Canacar Distinction brought together companies, operators, institutions, and authorities in a ceremony celebrating the program’s tenth edition—a culmination for hundreds of participants and, simultaneously, a starting point for a sector that demands excellence every step of the way.

The event highlighted the participation of 412 companies this year , reflecting the industry’s current commitment to technical, operational, and human development. Of these, 86 joined for the first time, while 326 continued at one of the program’s levels (basic, intermediate, advanced, and business). The program resulted in 407 awards , demonstrating the growth and discipline that drives those involved in the trucking industry.

On behalf of the president of the  National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) , Miguel Ángel Martínez Millán, the general director, Luis Roberto Lastiri Quirós, stressed that the distinction is not a diploma but an ethical, technical and human certification that distinguishes companies for their ability to transform realities and strengthen their people.

The figures from the event reflect an industry that is professionalizing as rapidly as it moves goods. This year, 9,704 people received training , including administrative staff, mechanics, operators, and operational personnel.

Looking at the entire period of the current administration (2023 to 2025), the figure rises to 30,412 trained professionals.

Through the four levels of the program, 9,573 people were also trained , with the basic level being the most in demand with 2,450 participants and the Human Factor diploma reaching 2,033 registered participants.

Using an approach that integrates new tools, the “ConduPodCast” trained 131 operators on road safety, regulations, mental health and prevention

At the end of the year , 4,210 DC3 certificates were issued to 839 individuals and 141 companies . A decade after its creation, the program has trained 100,187 people and issued 26,441 DC3 certificates since 2018.

IRU Diploma and Outstanding Operators Award

The ceremony also provided an opportunity to recognize achievements that have made a significant impact on the sector. The IRU 2025 Diploma of Honor was awarded to operators with over 20 years of experience and exemplary leadership.

From a virtual participation, the  International Road Transport Union (IRU) recalled that operators are ambassadors of the sector on the roads and that their work sustains international trade daily.

The presentation of the Canacar Outstanding Operators Award added further recognition to those who have demonstrated discipline, safety, and professionalism on every kilometer traveled. The operators were called to the stage in three groups to receive their awards amidst constant applause from the companies and families who accompanied them.

The partner institutions also spoke to highlight the social impact of the training.

The National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Financial Services Users (Condusef) , the National Commission for the Efficient Use of Energy (Conuee) , the Mexican Transportation Institute (IMT) , the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) , the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) , and civil organizations recalled that strengthening the industry depends on academic programs, digital tools, specialized diplomas, and learning schemes that currently support thousands of transportation workers.

The closing of the day left a message that encapsulates the spirit of the award: when a company decides to invest in its people, the effect goes beyond the numbers and impacts daily operations , road safety, and the country’s competitiveness. Canacar noted that each award-winning company wears a badge that not only recognizes their achievements but also commits them to continued progress. Because in Mexican trucking, professionalism also drives the country forward.

The Ministry of Economy (SE) and the Confederation of Associations of Customs Agents of the Mexican Republic (CAAAREM) presented this Monday the IMPULSAA Mexico initiative , a national project that seeks to professionalize, innovate and modernize the customs system, as well as strengthen the country’s logistical competitiveness at a key moment for foreign trade.

The program, developed in conjunction with the General Directorate of Innovation, Services and Domestic Trade, proposes a work agenda based on regulatory improvement, operational efficiency and technological transformation , with the objective of consolidating a national logistics innovation network that boosts the economy and reinforces the strategic role of the customs agent.

IMPULSAA Mexico is structured around five pillars:

• Impulsa Capacita: Will create a national logistics training program for customs agents and the supply chain.
• Promotes Alliances: Will establish a national network between CAAAREM, the Ministry of Economy and allied organizations.
• Promotes Rules: Will implement a manual of good practices to increase competitiveness in all ports, crossings and premises where customs agents operate.
• Boosts Efficiency: Will develop technological and data analysis tools to optimize operations and provide greater certainty.
• Impulsa México: It will promote a sustainable and inclusive agenda that strengthens foreign trade from an integrity approach.

Ignacio Aguado, Director General of Innovation, Services and Domestic Trade at the SE, highlighted that logistics is “the most complete economic activity”, present in all modes of transport and in all states of the country.

“You drive Mexico forward, and thanks to you we have a strong and solid economy. Today we are the 12th largest economy in the world; six years ago we were 16th, and that is the result of every link in the logistics chain,” he stated.

Aguado pointed out that the instruction from the head of the SE, Marcelo Ebrard, is to strengthen the relationship with the chambers and associations of the sector, not just from a photo op, but with “a real synergy” to face global challenges and improve internal competitiveness.

“This project aims to highlight the importance of logistics and bring us together. Every link in the chain matters: carriers, freight forwarders, importers, exporters, shipping companies, and, of course, customs brokers,” he said.

For his part, Ignacio Zaragoza, president of CAAAREM, indicated that the launch of IMPULSAA Mexico represents a turning point in the professionalization of the industry.

“We are the first line of defense in the country’s customs and we have the technical and operational capacity to guarantee that goods entering and leaving the territory do so in accordance with the law,” he said.

Zaragoza stressed that, given the country’s growth as an exporting power, the role of the customs agent must evolve towards a more technical, ethical profile committed to compliance .

“Compliance has ceased to be a requirement and has become a strategic value that strengthens the confidence of the authorities, companies and investors,” he stated, highlighting the updated code of ethics and the new training programs.

Claudia Ávila, Director General of Customs Attention and International Affairs at the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM) , emphasized that Mexico is experiencing “a geoeconomic turning point” , where the relocation of supply chains and the record-breaking foreign trade demand more modern, transparent and reliable customs.

“A country’s foreign trade is worth exactly what its customs are worth. And its customs are worth exactly what the integrity of those who operate at the border crossings and facilities is worth,” he stated.

Ávila noted that Mexican customs processes more than 60,000 operations daily , and that traceability, digitalization, and trust will be the elements that define competitiveness in this new era.

“The relationship between customs authorities and customs agents cannot be transactional; it must be transformational. Mexico needs capable, ethical, professional, and visionary agents,” he said.

Both the federal government and the customs industry agreed that IMPULSAA Mexico is not just a program, but a declaration of intent that Mexico wants to compete better, operate better, and be better .

With an economy strengthened by foreign trade, sustained growth in foreign investment, and a global environment that rewards trust, the country is committed to raising the standards of its customs system as a key element of its economic future.

The reality of transportation in Mexico allows no breaks; insecurity, costs and regulatory overload have turned the road into a daily test, for Luis Carlos Martínez Ugartechea , general director of MyM Express , the challenge is not only technical, but emotional.

“The helplessness is what hurts the most: it encompasses insecurity, injustice, inequality… we are attacked from all sides. And yet, we continue,” he stated.

In 2010, when the company began operations with three units , the word “impossible” was not in its vocabulary. Martínez—a mechanical engineer and second-generation entrepreneur—decided to venture into a business he barely knew.

“My first trip was to Playa del Carmen and they paid me half the fare; that’s when I understood that transportation rewards precision and punishes improvisation.” That first lesson defined the course: professionalization would be the key.

Since then, MyM Express has gone through three stages . The first five years were a race against time to learn, with sleepless nights and moments of doubt.

In the following years, the operation fluctuated between advances and setbacks until it reached consolidation with a philosophy that defines them today: “Small changes, big differences,” explained Martínez.

Over time, Martínez understood that growing up doesn’t always mean having more, but rather doing things better. “I always had to think about how to do a lot with a little,” he acknowledged.

In a business where large fleets set the pace, that philosophy became their greatest advantage: optimizing resources, reducing waste, and transforming efficiency into a form of respect for the customer .

The strategy was to grow without losing its essence. More than 120 units, 53 employees , and a network connecting Guadalajara, Monterrey, and the Bajío region solidify the operation.

But the main driving force remains the same: people. “It may seem like a machinery business, but it’s a profoundly human business,” Martínez asserted.

That’s why he implemented flexible schedules, trust, and empathy. “My responsibility is to ensure the staff is doing well; if the team is doing well, the company is doing well too,” he said.

At first, his style caused bewilderment. In an environment accustomed to pressure and shouting, his kindness seemed suspicious: “I spoke to them respectfully, and they thought I was hiding something,” he recalled.

Over time, consistency and example transformed that doubt into trust, and respect became an internal hallmark of the company.

The company’s services focus on domestic transport using trailers and 53-foot dry vans , with its own fleet “guaranteeing speed and safety.” This presence has allowed them to offer response times of between two and three hours , especially in the automotive sector , where punctuality and control make all the difference.

“The client doesn’t want promises, he wants results,” he explained.

The process hasn’t been straightforward. Martínez acknowledged that there have been tears, stress, and moments when he thought about giving up. “I’ve been close to throwing in the towel, but this business doesn’t stop. It’s a stubbornness that I’m proud of.” Today, his mantra remains: “Trust the process and enjoy the result . ”

When asked what word defines his leadership, he answers without hesitation: humanization .

“Transportation has given me everything, even in my worst economic times. I was able to eat thanks to this job, that’s why I defend it: the roads are the veins, the products are the blood, and transportation is the heart that makes everything work. If that heart stops, the country stops too,” he emphasized.

For the coming years, the goal is not to multiply routes or add units aimlessly, but to consolidate what they have built: a stable, humane, and reliable operation . Martínez summed it up without triumphalism: advance step by step, with the same tenacity that has brought them this far.

With that vision, MyM Express moves forward steadily but surely, sustaining an operation that is measured in kilometers of consistency rather than promises.

ORIZABA, VER. – The expectations of the organizers were not even close to achieving the results obtained with the first edition of the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba , where for two days the stands, the sponsor exhibition area and the stop where the transport companies were installed, were maintained with a constant flow of visitors.

The cheers and harangues in favor of the operators, the companies and even the directors who participated in the knockout hit did not stop, despite the fact that the sun was beating down during the weekend.

The 27 companies participating in the categories of Double articulated (full), Sleeper Cab and Cab Over motivated the participation of nearly 90 operators, and as a particular topic, but in accordance with the characteristics of the region, in the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba the most popular category was the full one , this configuration being the predominant one in the region.

“Operators, remember that this was for you, for your families, for all those who accompanied you, for the people who are in the offices and who make sure that you are working. You came here to demonstrate your skills, but above all, you came to socialize and that is the fundamental part of the event,” said Francisco Cessa, vice president of the Association of Cargo Transporters of the Central Zone of the State of Veracruz (Atccevac) , who with this speech raised the applause of all the attendees.

Based on the versions shared by the members of Atccevac and the National Chamber of Cargo Transportation (Canacar) Córdoba-Orizaba region , during his participation in the opening ceremony of the event, the mayor of Orizaba, Juan Manuel Diez Francos, expressed his interest in maintaining the edition of the MT Golfo-Centro-Orizaba in the region.

José Carlos Gilibert, Canacar delegate in the Córdoba-Orizaba region, acknowledged the contribution of the sponsors, as well as the Posdata MX team, organizer of the event, which allowed all attendees to have a pleasant first contact with this event.

In this way, MT Mexico developed events in 2024 at its headquarters in Allende, Nuevo León; Tijuana, Baja California; Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas; and Orizaba, Veracruz.

The Gulf-Centro-Orizaba MT was the 12th edition of the MTs held in all venues.

The records of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT) indicate that, with data as of the first half of 2024, 97% of the vehicle fleet and economic units are concentrated in companies that have less than 30 units.

Faced with this reality, Solistica has designed the loyalty program called Círculo Naranja , in which nearly 300 transportation suppliers participate , of the more than 1,100 suppliers, where transport lines from various segments are found.

In the awards to transporters of the Orange Circle corresponding to the 2023 operations, awards were given in eight categories that recognize the companies that stood out in the performance indicators and that is a way to generate transport partners with the aim of satisfying the needs of its clients, considered Christian Guadiana Cereceda, director of Transportation at Solistica.

“One of the objectives of Círculo Naranja is to achieve better safety conditions for operators, regardless of financial results. Our goal is to share the value of the business, to continue growing with more opportunities,” added Christian Guadiana.

The 2023 exercise is the third in this format that Solistica has carried out, and the feedback they have found with their transport partners is the ability to have a closer and long-term relationship.

The design of Solistica’s recognitions is focused on recognizing the results of each of the companies, to compare them equitably and to have an equally equitable comparative basis.

“In general, the recognition motivates our partners, but we also give them feedback regarding their performance, on key issues such as security, where data can be shared as knowledge so that they can adjust the areas of opportunity, generating better management of your company,” said Guadiana Cereceda.

“Círculo Naranja’s mission is to generate value for them, not just recognize the best, we like to help them in terms of security, monitoring the business that can be done with them, we are very factual and it is not just about being transactional. We would like companies that are starting to be able to double their fleet in five years, making it a success story,” highlighted Christian Guadiana.

One of the business partners that has followed the route that Guadiana defines is Juan Pablo Robles Guzmán, who with more than seven years of participating with Solistica, has allowed constant growth in his fleet, and in this edition of Círculo Naranja he was recognized as “Strategic Partner 2023”, the award that encompasses all areas of analysis.

The categories recognized in Círculo Naranja for the 2023 financial year were the following:

• Operation.
• Security.
• Travel development.
• Invoice development.
• Operational performance.
• Annual development.
• Strategic partner.

El cargo Solistica Maintains Dynamic Development of Transport Providers; Awards Círculo Naranja Prizes apareció primero en T21.

After a process that took around three years and given the deficit of operators that exists in Mexico, Palos Garza Logistics now has a Driver Training and Training Center for the Federal Motor Transportation Service and Private Transportation, authorized by the Ministry of Infrastructure. Communications and Transportation (SICT) .

With this, the company can provide training courses, as well as for operators to obtain and renew the federal driver’s license type E and B.

Juan Carlos Varela, director of the Transportation Division in Palos Garza, told T21 that the objective is to train drivers from scratch within the community of Nuevo Laredo, paying for the four training centers that already exist in the region.

It is projected that training will begin at the end of August and by the end of the year 80 trained operators will have been reached. It should be noted that these are not only aimed at company operators, but the call is open to any student, “with the goal of supporting the transport union so that any operator can renew their license,” he said.

“We are going to recruit students interested in training as operators, who must complete 180 hours of training, of these 62 are theory and 118 are practice, this is exclusive for operators who work in the country. In the case of international licenses, the hours increase from 180 to 196, which are divided into 70 hours in theory and 126 hours of practice,” Berenice Luna, in charge of the Driver Recruitment, Training and Training Department, explained to T21. Garza Logistics.

The company has a program with which it facilitates interested drivers who have worked for more than a year and a half, the process of obtaining a US visa so that they can work as B1 operators.

In the specific case of aspiring operators, at Palos Garza Logistics they have to go through a 180-hour theoretical and practical training program, and then do internships in the maneuvering yard for a month.
