What Transportes de Carga FEMA does

Transportes de Carga FEMA S.A. de C.V. is a privately held Mexican freight transportation company founded in 1987 by Carlos Fernández Martínez and headquartered in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. The company operates three integrated service lines: Transfer (international cross-border freight via World Trade Bridge in Nuevo Laredo and Solidaridad bridge in Colombia, Nuevo León, with ~300 tractor-trailers handling an average of 950 daily crossings); Carretera (domestic highway transport throughout Mexico with 534+ tractor-trailers and ~2,500 semi-trailers); and Door-to-Door (FTL on 53 ft. dry vans across Mexico, USA, and Canada via equipment interchange partnerships with U.S. and Canadian carriers). All three lines support both regular freight and hazardous materials (Hazmat), and the company maintains C-TPAT, OEA, ISO 9001, ESR, and Transporte Limpio certifications.

The technology stack is built around visibility and security: FemaTrack Online provides 24/7 web-based shipment tracking with Excel-format reports; the FEMA mobile app delivers push notifications and WhatsApp-based customer service; B2B EDI and WebService integrations automate data exchange with enterprise clients; and the FemaSafe suite combines GPS trailer tracking, smart fifth-wheel locks, K9 inspections, and automated yard searches at the C-TPAT/OEA-compliant Patio Seguro facility. A wholly-owned Instituto FEMA operates as an in-house driver training institute for both Over-the-Road and Transfer drivers.

Commercially, FEMA operates a B2B enterprise field-sales model with dedicated account executives per client, supported by an online quotation system accepting pesos or dollars. Pricing is quote-based across all three services, billed per transaction. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, owns 800+ tractor-trailers and ~2,500 semi-trailers, and operates 9 terminals across Nuevo Laredo, Monterrey, Saltillo, Querétaro, Silao, Mexico City, Toluca, Guadalajara, and San Luis Potosí. Revenue and financial performance are not publicly disclosed; ownership remains concentrated with the founder, who continues to serve as Director General.
