The cargo transportation industry is, without a doubt, a fundamental link in the global logistics chain. In Mexican territory, for example, it was thanks to this modality that in the last two years—of the pandemic—we were able to put down the ghost of the shortage of basic consumer products.
Although the first half of 2022 has been one of recovery for land transport companies, it is also true that we have faced bottlenecks derived from various challenges, known and unknown, ranging from a shortage of operators, road insecurity or recent tax regulations to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Beyond that, each of these challenges—and all those that were not mentioned—mean an opportunity for improvement and the possibility of betting on the professionalization of the actors in this field; in order to increase the quality of service and minimize risks and/or mishaps due to lack of training, safety or adequate maintenance of the units.
Equally important are the topics related to the lack of public works on our country’s roads, in the absence of adequate government legislation in this regard; which results in commercial uncertainty, both for the service provider and its client.
Being a carrier in Mexico is much more complicated than being one in the US or Europe. We must, in fact, adapt their good ways of operation to our environment, seeking to raise the level of service to international standards. Better administrative practices and greater discipline on the part of operators are fundamental factors to achieve this. We still have many areas of opportunity in this sector, which should motivate us to generate, once and for all, a 100% professional transportation scheme.
