Origin
Wilmington
Wilmington, Delaware, serves as a strategic logistics hub on the US East Coast, offering exceptional connectivity to major transportation networks. Located near Philadelphia and within hours of New York City and Baltimore, Wilmington provides access to one of the most densely populated and industrialized regions in the United States. The city's proximity to the Port of Wilmington and major interstate highways (I-95, I-495) makes it an ideal origin point for cross-border freight operations.
The region's economy is diverse, with strong presence in financial services, healthcare, automotive manufacturing, and chemical production.

The area's well-developed infrastructure includes multiple warehousing and distribution centers, rail connections, and proximity to major airports, providing flexible options for freight consolidation and distribution.
Destination
Cobán
Cobán, located in the Alta Verapaz department of Guatemala, is a strategic commercial center in the country's northern highlands. As the capital of Alta Verapaz, Cobán serves as a vital distribution point for the surrounding agricultural regions and provides access to Guatemala's Atlantic corridor. The city's location makes it a key gateway for goods moving between the capital, Guatemala City, and the northern departments, as well as for cross-border trade with Mexico and Belize.
The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, including cardamom, coffee, and other tropical products, but Cobán is also developing as a commercial and industrial center. The city benefits from improving transportation infrastructure, including the CA-13 highway connecting to Puerto Barrios and the Atlantic coast. While the mountainous terrain presents some logistical challenges, Cobán's growing commercial activity and strategic position make it an important destination for freight transportation, particularly for companies serving the northern and eastern regions of Guatemala.
