What XCF does

XCF S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican privately-held consolidated freight transportation company founded in August 2003 and headquartered in General Escobedo, Nuevo León. The company provides domestic cargo services across Mexico, cross-border services between Mexico and the United States/Canada, and LTL/FTL services to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica through the Ciudad Hidalgo gateway. Operations are delivered through a network of 38 contact points comprising 35+ branches, six border crossing centers (Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, Ciudad Juárez, Tijuana, Nogales, Mexicali), four port operations centers (Manzanillo, Veracruz, Altamira, Lázaro Cárdenas), and nine virtual service centers, supported by a fleet of 130+ owned active units, 1,000+ employees, and a GLOBAL team dedicated to international accounts.

The product portfolio spans six core service lines — Consolidado Regular, Puerta a Puerta (door-to-door via 12 US logistics partners including FedEx Freight, XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, and Averitt Express), Cruce en Frontera (cross-border transfer), Consolidado HAZ-MAT (hazardous materials), Prime Time (one-business-day expedited delivery on key routes), and Distribución Retail (CEDIS, supermarkets, shopping centers with reverse logistics) — plus specialized add-ons (XPRESS 4U, Entregas con Cita, Recolección y Entrega Portuaria/Aeroportuaria, Desconsolidación de Contenedores, Maniobras, Seguro de Mercancías, and Atención Personalizada).

Certifications include C-TPAT (since 2018) and ISO 9001:2015 (since 2021).

The business operates on a transaction-fee revenue model with quote-based pricing determined by weight, volume, origin, destination, and service level. The go-to-market is sales-led: dedicated commercial agents serve enterprise accounts in person across the branch network, with inside sales and self-serve web/WhatsApp quote capture supporting the mid-market. No public revenue is disclosed and the company has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, indicating internally financed organic growth over 22+ years.
