Borderlands Mexico: Cabotage enforcements threatening cross-border trucking

Knight-Swift CEO Adam Miller says stepped-up U.S. cabotage enforcement, including visa revocations over alleged violations at previous employers, could tighten U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking capacity. The same roundup notes Nuevo León halved state tolls at the Colombia Bridge and Walmart's planned $400M distribution center near San Antonio. The warning lands amid tariff uncertainty already reshaping shipper strategies.

Mexico truckers halt protests, demand action on deadly highway crime

Mexican truckers have suspended a nationwide protest that disrupted highways across 19 states over cargo theft, extortion and violence against drivers. After talks with Mexico's Interior Ministry, four trucking groups agreed to negotiate highway security, infrastructure, taxation and labor rules. Leaders stress the suspension is temporary and protests could resume if authorities fail to deliver concrete commitments and deadlines.

Borderlands Mexico: Avocado imports generate $641M for US trucking, warehousing

Mexican Hass avocado imports generated an estimated $641.5 million in U.S. transportation and warehousing activity and supported more than 4,150 jobs in fiscal 2025-26, according to Texas A&M researchers. Nearly 98% of shipments crossed by truck through Texas ports, with Pharr handling 58.2% and Laredo 39.4%, underscoring the role of cross-border cold chain and border warehousing. Total U.S. economic output from the trade reached $7.1 billion.

Trump expands tariff exemptions for Canadian goods

The Trump administration is expanding tariff exemptions to more Canadian products, including paper, plastic, machinery and seaweed products. For shippers and carriers moving freight across the US-Canada border, the move could lower landed costs on the covered goods — but eligibility still depends on the official list, so exporters should verify each product before quoting or clearing shipments.

Cross-border trucking capacity is back as a risk for Mexico-US trade

Growing Mexico-US trade no longer guarantees predictable freight movement. C.H. Robinson's October update describes a relatively stable cross-border market in September, but notes that B-1 visa withdrawals for an estimated 25,000 Mexican drivers — plus temporary disruptions at some crossings — reduced usable capacity on certain corridors. With CBP clarifying cabotage rules for B-1 drivers and English-proficiency requirements adding complexity, carriers must plan resource allocation earlier while shippers face scarcer short-notice capacity.

Borderlands Mexico: US trucking crackdown raises concerns over freight disruptions

Heightened enforcement of U.S. trucking rules — cabotage restrictions, B-1 visa scrutiny and English-language proficiency requirements — could disrupt cross-border freight, transport leaders warned at Mexico's CANACAR convention in Cancún. ATA, CBP and carrier executives backed tougher enforcement but cautioned that inconsistent application risks delays and driver shortages. Shippers should secure backup capacity on cross-border lanes.

25,000 Drivers Lost: US-Mexico Border Crisis Explained

U.S. authorities have revoked visas for roughly 25,000 Mexican truck drivers, sharply shrinking the pool of qualified operators able to haul cross-border loads. Tender rejections and spot rates are surging at both the US-Mexico and US-Canada borders, and FreightWaves data indicate the supply-side squeeze will persist well into 2027. Shippers and warehouse operators dependent on cross-border replenishment should lock in capacity and adjust inventory strategies now.

Driver shortages, regulatory restrictions and rising operating costs are limiting available trucks between the U.S., Mexico and Canada, while higher interest rates and tighter lending are keeping new carriers from entering the market.

More than three-quarters of Mexico's light-vehicle exports went to the U.S. in the first nine months of 2026 — 1.93 million of 2.53 million vehicles, per INEGI data. But September brought a sharp downturn: exports fell 11.9% and production dropped 15.1% year over year, even as domestic sales grew 7.9%. Also this week: DSV opens a McAllen office to expand U.S.-Mexico freight operations, and a Texas university seeks $772,700 for an AI-powered Laredo freight project.

Borderlands Mexico: Identity thieves target customs payments in cross-border freight

Mexican trade officials warn that criminals are impersonating companies and customs brokers to steal payments tied to cross-border shipments, including spoofing company domains and faking bank-detail-change requests. Time pressure in cross-border freight — urgent demands to release cargo or avoid storage charges — pushes staff to authorize transfers without second-channel verification. Attempted identity fraud in U.S. cargo and logistics operations jumped 213% from 2023 to 2024 and another 30% in 2025, per IDScan.net.
