Export and import freight en Saltillo

Saltillo occupies a strategic position within the industrial corridor of northeastern Mexico. Its proximity to border crossings such as Piedras Negras/Eagle Pass and Nuevo Laredo, combined with direct connectivity via Highway 57, makes this city one of the most active points for international trade by land. The automotive industry, steel sector, and textile industry generate constant flows of goods that require reliable and well-coordinated transportation solutions.

At Control Terrestre, we operate export and import freight in Saltillo under a full truckload (FTL) model, connecting plants and distribution centers in Coahuila with destinations in the United States, Canada, and Central America. As a freight forwarder in Mexico and an authorized carrier in the United States, we manage each shipment with end-to-end visibility, from pickup at origin to delivery at the final destination.

Exports from Saltillo to North America

The automotive export flow from Saltillo is one of the most intense in the country. Finished vehicles, engines, transmissions, auto parts, and metal components travel continuously to assembly plants and distribution centers in the United States. Added to this are exports of processed steel, metalworking products, and textiles, including denim and garments that supply international markets.

Our C-TPAT and FAST certifications allow us to expedite border crossing, a decisive factor when operating in high-volume corridors such as the one connecting Saltillo with Piedras Negras or Nuevo Laredo. We complement these with BASC, Transporte Limpio, Responsible Care, and Recurso Confiable certifications, meeting the safety and compliance standards required by the T-MEC supply chain.

Imports to the Coahuila industrial corridor

Manufacturing and assembly plants in Saltillo depend on a constant flow of imports: automotive components, specialized machinery, raw materials, and industrial supplies from the United States. Coordinating these shipments requires precision in timing, customs documentation in order, and the right equipment for each type of cargo.

We operate with a diverse fleet that includes 48- and 53-foot dry and refrigerated vans, flatbeds, container chassis, curtainside trailers, tankers, tortons, and hopper trailers. This variety of equipment allows us to handle everything from palletized auto parts to heavy machinery or bulk materials, adapting to the specific requirements of each operation.

For operations involving temperature-sensitive goods or chemical products, we have refrigerated equipment and Responsible Care-certified units, ensuring regulatory compliance at every stage of the journey.

Beyond the northern border

In addition to flows to North America, we coordinate movements to and from Central America, connecting Saltillo with markets in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama. This coverage allows companies in Coahuila to diversify their trade routes without fragmenting their logistics operation across multiple providers.
