Trucking in Mexico totaled $60.0 billion in 2016. Proximity to the United States, low wages, increases in manufacturing competencies, and retail investments throughout Mexico are keeping trucking in Mexico afloat. While trucking in Mexico is bobbing relative to the United States due to currency fluctuations, the complexities of intra-Mexico and cross-border trucking with the United States requires expertise.

Retail companies such as Walmex (Wal-Mart de Mexico SAB) are expanding throughout Mexico. Walmex is investing $863.0 million in opening and remodeling stores and bolstering logistics and online commerce. A total of $112.19 million is earmarked specifically for logistics. In addition to the amount Walmex plans to spend on store expansions, it is investing $1.3 billion in logistics over the next three years.1 Companies, such as Wal-Mart, are expanding into Mexico for shorter leadtimes. Ocean transit cannot react as quickly to consumer demands as truckload transit.

The expansion of retail companies throughout Mexico bodes well for third-party logistics (3PL) providers. According to the Armstrong and Associates report “Trends in 3PL/Customer Relationships – 2017”, 90% of Domestic Fortune 500 companies rely on 3PL providers for outsourced logistics and supply chain services. Mexico-based 3PLs have a high proportion of customers in Retailing and Healthcare. These industry verticals tend to use fewer 3PL services per relationship but they are often more strategic. Major customers include Johnson & Johnson, FEMSA, Nestle, Proctor & Gamble, Stanley Black & Decker, PepsiCo, Bio-Rad Laboratories, and Kraft Heinz.

The Mexican trucking market is divided into intra-Mexico and cross-border import/export trucking with the United States. Domestic trucking’s core is the area, connecting to major cities like Monterrey and . Cross-border traffic is dominated by export/import activity involving the United States. Eighty-one percent of the Mexican exports are to the United States. Mexico is the second- largest market for U.S. exports and tied with Canada for second-largest for imports into the United States. Mexico accounts for 13.2% of total U.S. imports, and more than 4 million containers and trailers cross the border each year.2 The average truckload freight value is about $52,000.

The busiest cross-border port is Laredo, Texas which averages 12,200 trailers and containers a day. The other primary ports are Otay Mesa, California; El Paso, Texas; Hidalgo, Texas; and Nogales, Arizona.3

Table 1. Top 10 U.S./Mexico Border Crossings Ranked by Loaded Truck Containers – 2016

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the primary commodities shipped to and from Mexico are “Electrical Machinery; Equipment and Parts,” “Vehicles Other than Railway” and “Computer-Related Machinery and Parts”. For vehicles, the parts move south and finished vehicles move north. There are about 30 automotive assembly plants operating in Mexico.

In general, cross-border traffic flows are about sixty percent northbound and forty percent southbound. Trailer capacity for northbound movements can be very tight during the summer produce season.

Most cross-border movements involve a U.S. carrier and a Mexican carrier. Each works with a customs broker on its side of the border.

There are two governmental agencies involved in any cross-border shipment. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The corresponding Mexican agency is the Ministry of Commerce and Industrial Development which is in the Department of Customs. All shipments are handled by the Mexican authorities through the use of pedimentos which are import/ export forms. Importing and exporting are covered by each country’s individual laws and NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement).

Mexico maintains a national registry of importers and exporters. About 18,000 companies with U.S. investment are involved in Mexico. Shipments into Mexico are subject to value-added taxes.

Not surprisingly, there is a host of customs brokers waiting to help. There are 225 brokers in Laredo alone. The shipper needs one broker of record for CBP and one for Mexican customs.

Mexican carrier tractors, without U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) authority, are restricted to operating within 25 miles (40 km) of the border. In effect, this reduces most operations to shuttling. To keep shipments to a “single line” move, some U.S. carriers have acquired Mexican subsidiaries. For examples, has Servicio de Transportacion Jaguar,

and acquired Trans-Mex. Currently, a U.S. company cannot purchase and own a Mexican carrier. Other trucking companies set up control relationships with dedicated Mexican trucking companies and profit handsomely from it. For example, Supply Chain Solutions has two dedicated companies, Servicio de Transporte Internacional (STIL) to handle intra-Mexico movements and Akna Transportes (Akna) for cross-border shuttling. Ryder normally completes cross-border (yard to yard) movements of trailers in less than two hours in Laredo. A key to Ryder’s success is the use of C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and FAST (Free and Secure Trade). C-TPAT is a certification program for shippers, carriers and brokers that allows them to establish recognized, good standing as law-abiding importers. FAST provides qualified drivers with cards that identify them and allow for much quicker crossing approval. At Laredo, there are four northbound and four southbound FAST lanes to expedite the flow for C-TPAT partners. Mexican companies and drivers can participate in C-TPAT and FAST. Major carriers like , Celadon/Jaguar and Swift/Trans-Mex have programs for effective use of C-TPAT, FAST and other standardized practices to minimize border delays.

Intermodal container trains have special customs clearance processes that allow them to clear 250 containers in 30 minutes.4

There are over 135,000 trucking companies in Mexico including approximately 111,000 (82%) owner- operator companies with one to five trucks. There are 25 carriers with 1,000 or more trucks.

With limited exceptions, Mexican carriers have not been allowed to operate in the U.S. Similarly, with a few exceptions, U.S. truckers have not been allowed to work directly in Mexico.

Two major U.S. exceptions are Celadon/Jaguar and Swift/Trans-Mex. Both of these U.S. companies acquired Mexican companies during a window in 2004 before Mexico changed its licensing requirements. That licensing requirement forbids foreign ownership of Mexican truckers. Trans-Mex operates 769 trucks in Mexico. Jaguar has 400.

Many Mexican carriers concentrate on intra-country operations. Autotransportes de Carga Tres Guerras, the largest trucker, operates 450 trucks and 1000 tractors. Many of its operations involve shipper owned trailers and containers. Tres Guerras provides consolidation services throughout Mexico.

Super Transporte Internacional (STI) emphasizes cross-border operations. Typically, it will pick up a load and deliver it to a terminal in Laredo where Mexican customs is cleared. The load will be moved cross- border to a U.S. carrier terminal. Once cleared by U.S. Customs, it is transported by the U.S. carrier to its destination.

Figure 3. STI Strategic Alliances with Leading Companies

Since 2014, a small number of Mexican carriers have obtained permanent U.S. operating authorities. The authorities are for general commodities but require that any loads picked up in the U.S. must be destined to a foreign country. That is, the Mexican carrier cannot do cabotage in the U.S. (This restriction is a marked contrast to Europe, where carriers are allowed to handle up to three intra-country loads after delivering an inter-country load.) Thirteen carriers have acquired all of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) driver and equipment requirements.

Table 2. FMCSA Authorized Mexican Carriers

Source: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/international-programs/us-mexico-cross-border-trucking-pilot-program-data

In December 2015, international obligations under the North American Free Trade Agreement chapter on cross-border trade services were fulfilled, and the leasing restriction from the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 was lifted. Now Mexican carriers are permitted to lease equipment to U.S. carriers regardless of the destination of the cargo as long as the authorized U.S. carrier assumes “complete responsibility for the operation of the equipment for the duration of the lease.”5

The Mexican carriers we have dealt with like FEMSA Logistica, STIL, and STI, all meet the FMCSA requirements. To the extent there are issues - they are with very small companies.

A good example of Laredo operations is Ryder Supply Chain Solutions. Ryder manages over 150,000 U.S./Mexico truck border crossings a year and owns 730 dedicated transportation assets (tractors, trailers, straight trucks, etc.). Twenty minutes west of the U.S./Mexico border, Ryder operates a 16.8 acre cross-border interchange operation in Nuevo Laredo. The operation started in 2009 and has grown to a staff of 220 employees, 13 acres of yard space with a parking capacity of 384 trailers and 60 trucks. The secondary, remote facility has a capacity of 240 trailers. In Laredo, Ryder has a 103,000 square foot cross-dock/warehouse and office and 140 trailer spaces. The main Nuevo Laredo yard houses the control tower, driver quarters and restaurant, a maintenance shop and fuel station. The second Nuevo Laredo yard is primarily an overflow trailer parking yard, but it is also very secure. Ryder’s infrastructure on both sides of the border allows it to accommodate (in a secure environment) all volume peaks arising from holiday differences between the two countries, end of month and end of quarter volumes, security lockdowns in Nuevo Laredo, and other factors.

In Nuevo Laredo, Ryder has 30 transportation managers handling dispatch, end-to-end tracking and event management. Using Ryder’s LMS software and online software, it optimizes customer networks with planned and unplanned routes, handles event exception tracking, consolidates shipments and controls cross-border activities. Nuevo Laredo dedicated operations consist of 185 routes, over 130,000 miles and 1,300 border crossings per week. The dedicated fleet consists of 80 tractors, 130 drivers, and 120 trailers. Half are used exclusively for border crossings.

Given the amount of traffic moving to and from Ryder’s Nuevo Laredo facility, a high level of security needs to be maintained. The facility and yard are wall-fenced, have a plethora of cameras and four K-9 units working with security personnel 24/7 at the guarded front entrance.

Ryder uses a combination of global positioning systems (GPS) and driver reporting to monitor truck and trailer locations and activities constantly. Current status for each run is available at RydeSmart, an in- house mobile application.

In addition to its tight security control of all tractor-trailers, Ryder employees have an in-cab technology called GreenRoad. GreenRoad supplies drivers with color-coded alerts involving acceleration, braking, speed, and maneuvering. Cabs are equipped with a camera, microphone, and panic button. Other sensors cover the trailer door which has a keypad, unhooking which was an armored security lock, fuel cut-out, and an anti-vandal siren.

To facilitate regulatory visibility and speed cross-border operations, Ryder participates in C-TPAT and Canada’s Partners in Protection (PIP). Because of the restrictions, Ryder is not a licensed trucking company in Mexico and uses C-TPAT certified carriers extensively. C-TPAT certification allows for the use of FAST process lanes to clear customs.

At Laredo, there are 16 processing lanes open 16 hours a day on weekdays, eight hours on Saturdays and four hours on Sundays. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) uses its Automated Export System (AES) for tracking all import movements through the Port of Laredo. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Port Director, Gregory Alvarez, heads the Port of Laredo. It’s important to note that C-TPAT also applies to facilities. All Ryder facilities in Laredo and Nuevo Laredo, as well as all facilities operated by Ryder further south in Mexico, are C-TPAT certified. In addition, all carriers serving Ryder are subject to a rigorous Ryder driver clearance program to ensure all drivers meet standards beyond those required by C-TPAT.

Physical inspections are performed on a stratified random sample of the units crossing each day. In addition, Alvarez and his staff are on the watch out for variant behaviors which trigger additional inspections.

Dedicated FAST driver lanes (four north and four south) and C-TPAT standing reduce average crossing times to less than two hours per Ryder tractor-trailer unit. Hazardous materials movements (»2,000 a day) are all handled via Bridge which is 20 miles west of Laredo in Nuevo Leon.

In order to comply with Mexican law, Ryder set up close partnerships with several carriers in Mexico such as Transportes Monroy Schiavon (TMS), Transportes Lazo, STIL, Akna, and others. These carriers, while small for U.S. standards, are of significant size in Mexico. These contracted partners serve many customers, but also serve as dedicated contract carriers for Ryder’s customers. Ryder buys and contracts equipment to them. All of the equipment has the safety and security systems needed. STIL and Akna are Ryder’s main carriers in the Laredo/Nuevo Laredo border crossing. Both carriers are C-TPAT certified, and drivers meet the standards set by Ryder, which meet U.S. DOT requirements. The units are bar-coded. Maintenance is scheduled automatically by Ryder’s FleetFocus vehicle maintenance system. In addition, Ryder’s Yardview Yard Management System tracks all equipment in Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, Mexico City, Puebla, and Guadalajara.

©2017 Armstrong & Associates 8 TRUCKING IN MEXICO

STIL trucks are used over-the-road in Mexico for dedicated operations including milk and peddle runs. They are also used to deliver into the U.S. at distances up to 700-800 miles. Services include dry van and flatbed loads. Akna tractors are used for cross-border trailer movements. Production is three to four trips per driver per day. All STIL and Akna personnel participate in Ryder’s STAR quality program which gives seven standardized metrics for each employee per month.

Ryder’s Nuevo Laredo operations provide transportation management services for 34 customers. Customer relationships vary from those of an agent to being an active and complete manager. As an agent, Ryder provides the system, tracking and reporting. As an active manager, Ryder covers all shipments, carrier management and value-adds end-to-end. Besides Nuevo Laredo, Ryder’s other control tower (Operations Management Center) primarily dedicated to U.S. operations is in Novi, Michigan. Between the two locations, there are 95 staff members providing 24/7/365 coverage. Ninety thousand loads are managed per month.

The basic process flow for Mexico export shipments to the U.S. is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Ryder Nuevo Laredo Mexico Export Shipment Process Flow

Using this export shipment process flow, the Ryder operation is currently managing 1,300 outbound loads per week and has the capacity to handle 2,500 border crossings per week.

Profiles for Ryder and 13 additional U.S.-Mexico Truckload Carrier/3PL Providers are noted in Appendix A. Further detail about Ryder’s Mexican capabilities, as well as Werner and XPO Logistics, are expanded upon in Appendix B.

Mexican-based trucking companies emphasize intra-Mexico and cross-border traffic. The amount of emphasis on each varies by company. Revenues for the top 45 Mexican Motor Carrier companies range from $28.6 to $217.0 million and are noted in Appendix C.

As manufacturing competencies and retail expansion continues, the expertise needed to navigate the regulatory environment puts Mexican carriers and third-party logistics providers such as Ryder in a strong position of opportunity. And while Mexico’s economic headwinds and currency valuation versus the U.S. Dollar threaten the forecast for 2017, the three-year outlook looks positive for trucking in Mexico.

Appendix B: 3PL Provider Mexico Capabilities Ryder Mexico Capabilities Established in 1994, Ryder Mexico has built an extensive network. Its staff of over 2,500 manage 33 operations including 17 warehousing and 16 customer plant operations. Major Ryder facilities are located in Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Ramos Arizpe, Toluca, Silao, Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Juarez. Ryder manages over 150,000 U.S./Mexico truck border crossings a year and owns 730 dedicated transportation assets (tractors, trailers, straight trucks, etc.).

Dedicated contract carriage in Mexico takes a slightly different form because of Mexican laws prohibiting ownership of trucking operations by non-Mexicans. Ryder leases tractors and trucks to Mexican trucking companies that contract with Ryder to provide services. About 300 tractors, 50 trucks and 500 trailers are involved in DCC-like transportation management operations. Ryder Mexico equipment is leased to Mexican customers, including Mexican carriers. Some of these carriers dedicate equipment to Ryder and Ryder utilizes it interchangeably for its customers.

Nuevo Laredo Cross Border Operations Twenty minutes west of the U.S./Mexico border, Ryder operates a 16.8 acre cross border interchange operation in Nuevo Laredo. The operation started in 2009 and has grown to a staff of 220 employees, 13 acres of yard space with the capacity for 384 trailers and 60 trucks. It runs Monday through Friday from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M. and manages 1,300 border crossings per week. It is ISO 9001, C-TPAT (Customs- Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), and NEEC (Mexico’s equivalent of C-TPAT) certified. Security is supported by 108 cameras, including infrared cameras, monitoring all aspects of the operation. The facility is operational 24/7 for non-scheduled operations to handle delays or emergencies.

While the operation is currently managing 1,300 outbound loads per week, it has the capacity to handle 2,500 border crossings per week.

FINSA Industrial Park Value-Added Warehousing and Distribution Operations Ryder manages multiple value-added warehousing and distribution operations in the FINSA Industrial park located about 15 kilometers southwest of Monterrey in Santa Caterina.

Tobacco Products Customer FINSA Warehouse 4 is a 137,000 square foot dedicated operation for a tobacco products customer. The warehouse has 38’ high ceilings, and 28 dock doors (14 for receiving and 14 for shipping). It is a high-profile facility with in-rack fire control sprinklers, over 50 CCTV cameras, and access control. The operation’s certifications include: C-TPAT, NEEC, and ISO 9001:2008.

Ryder began working with this customer in 2006 to manage finished goods exports to Canada where Ryder manages the distribution and last-mile delivery of cigarettes to retailers. In 2009, Ryder started managing its point-of-sale materials and then after winning a bid in 2010, it began handling the distribution of finished goods shipments of packaging materials and cigarettes for the domestic Mexico market. Ryder is in the middle of a second three-year agreement with this customer.

The operation is run by a 75 person team. Half of the warehouse is utilized to store over 100 SKUs (stock keeping units) of tobacco leaf which is held as raw materials for production. The tobacco leaf is sourced from multiple countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. It is held in a bulk

©2017 Armstrong & Associates 23 Trucking in Mexico: Appendix B

storage area comprising 40,000 positions for large corrugated boxes containing tobacco leaf. In addition to the bulk leaf storage, the warehouse also has a 6,000 square foot, 20 degree Celsius conditioned room for menthol capsules, leaf paper, and other materials used in production.

To meet the needs of the customer’s plant in downtown Monterrey, Ryder manages a shuttle operation delivering 20 outbound truckloads of materials (leaf, other materials, and approximately five truckloads of packaging materials) to the plant each day. On return, Ryder brings back approximately five to seven truckloads of cigarettes to the warehouse. Ryder has two people on staff at the plant to coordinate logistics with production. Approximately 70% of the packaging materials utilized by the customer are sourced in Mexico. Ryder manages some of the inbound transportation of packaging materials into the warehouse.

Domestic Mexico distribution includes finished goods shipments of point-of-sale materials and cigarettes to Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. One hundred sixty SKUs of finished goods products are stored in racks comprising 282 pallet positions. Three outbound truckloads are shipped to domestic customers.

HVAC Systems Customer Since forming its relationship with a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems customer in 2001, Ryder has built a significant supply chain management relationship. Its supports four of the customer’s Mexico air conditioner manufacturing operations with a staff of 400 in and around Monterrey. The operation also includes an inbound warehouse, a VMI (vendor managed inventory) operation, outbound distribution center, and large outside distribution yard operation for loading over-sized units destined to commercial buildings.

At a 290,626 square foot multi-client warehouse (number 8) in the FINSA industrial park, Ryder is managing the VMI operation for the customer. The VMI operation has a staff of 44 working in three shifts. Each month, 68 truckloads and 22 full ocean containers of inbound parts and materials from 17 suppliers in the U.S., China, and Malaysia are managed through Nuevo Laredo, and the ocean ports of Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas, to Warehouse 8. The VMI operation is run in 66,982 square feet of the facility. Ryder performs a 100% verification of all inbound parts and materials, which average 2,000 units per day. The operation has over 300 SKUs of on-hand parts and materials inventory maintained in approximately 4,300 locations. Ryder fulfills approximately two to three outbound orders per day of parts and materials to the customer’s Plant B.

In conjunction to the VMI operation, Warehouse 8 also manages an inbound materials management operation for non-VMI parts and materials destined to the customer’s Plant B. The 20 person, one shift operation is housed in 35,521 square feet of the warehouse and stores approximately 1,200 SKUs of product in 1,280 pallet locations. Combined VMI and non-VMI parts and materials shipments to Plant B run every four hours and total approximately 10 outbound truckloads per day.

Ryder Mexico has grown into a multifaceted, integrated third-party logistics provider within Mexico. It has significant cross border, manufacturing support, transportation management, and finished goods value-added warehousing and distribution capabilities.

Ryder personnel are imbedded at automotive, industrial, high-technology and consumer goods locations. Overall, Ryder’s Mexican business is 33% industrial, 30% automotive, 19% high-technology, 11% retail consumer product goods and 7% other.
