Forza Transportation Services

What Forza Transportation Services does

Forza Transportation Services, Inc. is a Laredo, Texas-headquartered Full Truck Load (FTL) carrier operating cross-border land freight between the US, Mexico, and Canada primarily through Port Laredo. The company was originally founded in 2007 by Roberto Perez as Roberto Perez Trucking — a single-truck owner-operator venture — and was reorganized into Forza Transportation Services, Inc. in 2014 after growing to over 1,000 trucks. Today the company operates from 8010 Hawk Road in Laredo with satellite offices in Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey, and serves Fortune 1000 customers across the food service, automotive, electronics, aerospace, heavy machinery, household appliances, and consumer goods verticals.

The core offering is FTL transportation (door-to-door US-Mexico freight, domestic US freight, and bonded freight), augmented by 24/7 real-time shipment visibility powered by SkyBitz and FourKites and customer-side integration via EDI. Supporting programs include a CDL driver employment program, a B1 foreign-national driver program targeting cross-border lanes, and an Owner-Operator program for independent capacity. The stated fleet consists of 20,000 power units (models 2021-2025) and 70,000 53-ft dry vans (models 2020-2025), supported by 21,000 drivers and 8,700 employees across the US and Mexico.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis with quote-based, per-shipment pricing negotiated by volume, route, and service requirements. GTM is enterprise field-sales driven, with direct outreach and a dedicated one-agent-per-customer model. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional or private equity backing. It holds DOT, CTPAT, OSHA, and Texas minority-owned-business certifications, plus CCPA privacy compliance. In 2025, top-line grew 14% YoY but margin was compressed by freight-rate declines, ~1,200 drivers were lost to stricter visa enforcement, and expansion projects were paused; for 2026 management has announced a back-to-basics cost discipline posture.
