Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Chiquimula - Atlanta
The logistics corridor connecting Chiquimula, Guatemala to Atlanta, Georgia represents a vital trade link between Central America and the southeastern United States. This cross-border route spans approximately 2,171 kilometers and facilitates the movement of diverse cargo types between the two regions. The corridor leverages Guatemala's growing export capabilities and Atlanta's position as a major logistics hub in the southeastern U.S.
The route primarily utilizes the CA-9 highway in Guatemala, connecting to the Pan-American Highway before reaching the border at El Florido. In Mexico, the corridor follows major highways including the Carretera Federal 190 and Carretera Federal 190D, connecting to the U.S. interstate system through Laredo, Texas. From there, cargo moves via I-35, I-20, and I-75 to reach Atlanta.
Key industries served by this corridor include automotive parts, agricultural products, electronics, textiles, and manufactured goods. The El Florido border crossing at the Guatemala-Honduras border and subsequent crossings into Mexico and the U.S. require careful coordination of customs documentation and compliance with C-TPAT and other security protocols. Control Terrestre's expertise in cross-border operations ensures seamless transit through these critical points, providing dedicated FTL services that maintain cargo integrity throughout the journey.
