Bridging the Border: The Future of U.S.–Mexico Cross-Border Freight

The FreightCaviar Podcast

This week's guest is Mario Torres, the Terminal Manager at EVEST Enterprises, a cross-border carrier based in El Paso, Texas. If you work in the trucking industry, you'll never get work. You'll see the best and you'll see the worst. It's always a fun ride. It's an industry full of unexpected. Mario explains how the company went from one truck to more than 420, why Haras has gone from boomtown to a steadier market, why his biggest role is don't touch the freight, and why he thinks insurance costs, not freight rates, are becoming the biggest threat facing trucking companies today.

Mario Torres, The Terminal Manager, There's this term like reptilian lawyers that just want to make an easy buck. It increases insurance prices. I know small carriages that went bankrupt just by one small accident. Mario Torres, The Terminal Manager, We also get into tariffs, diesel prices, English language requirements for B1 drivers, and what people outside the border still don't understand about cross-border freight. You're playing life on difficult mode. Mario Torres, The last couple of years have been really tough, so it's nothing new for us. Gotta keep working and gotta keep fighting those rates.
