RICHMOND, Va. — This month, North American LTL carrier Estes Express Lines expanded its Mexico service and launched its new Mexico third-party logistics subsidiary, Estes Logística, the company said.

Estes has been offering service to Mexico since 2003 with coverage to all major commercial markets. Through Estes Logística, the company now offers customers complete strategic solutions for freight consolidation and transportation to and from virtually every point in Mexico, Estes said.

Estes also offers logistics coordination for intra-Mexico freight.

“NAFTA has created a tremendous amount of commerce between Mexico, the U.S. and Canada,” said CEO Rob Estes. “Estes Logística is in place to reliably meet the transportation needs of manufacturers to get their materials and goods wherever they have to go. We are working closely with those manufacturers to provide them with the service and dependability customers have come to expect from Estes.”

With this service expansion, Estes said it has established representation in Mexico with key locations in Monterrey and Mexico City.

Estes also does business at all major border-crossing points, including Laredo, McAllen and El Paso, Texas; Calexico and San Diego, Calif.; and Tucson, Ariz., on the U.S. side. Border points on the Mexico side include Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, Juarez, Nogalez, Mexicali and Tijuana.

Other service benefits include complete freight visibility from origin to destination; a money-saving, flexible pricing structure on Mexico lanes; innovative consolidation options designed to save shippers money on border and brokerage fees; the ability to pay in either pesos or U.S. dollars; and experienced, bilingual professionals on both sides of the border, according to Estes.
