RAD Logistics

What RAD Logistics does

RAD Logistics is a Mexico-headquartered international freight forwarder operating across the country's principal commercial corridors and into the United States. The company was founded circa 2017 with headquarters in San Pedro Garza García (Monterrey metropolitan area) and maintains additional offices in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Querétaro, and Laredo, Texas — positioning it at the primary US-Mexico land border crossing. Its headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a small-to-mid-tier asset-light forwarder rather than a global integrator.

The firm's service portfolio is fully multi-modal. Core products include international ground transport (Full Truckload and Less Than Truckload, including specialized equipment), maritime freight forwarding (Full Container Load and Less than Container Load with Dry, High Cube, Open Top, and Flat Rack containers), air cargo (door-to-door, charter, and hand carrier), and an expedited 'Hot Shots' service for time-sensitive cargo. Complementary offerings under 'Otros Servicios' include warehousing with inventory control, professional loading and unloading, custom packaging and crating, and cargo insurance. Underlying technology is conventional logistics infrastructure: GPS and mirror camera systems for vehicle and cargo monitoring, real-time cargo tracking, and inventory control systems that provide customers visibility over product status and location. No proprietary AI/ML systems, platform APIs, or differentiated software architecture are described in the source material.

RAD Logistics operates a sales-led B2B model targeting importers, exporters, manufacturers, and retailers requiring international logistics support, particularly for Mexico-US-Canada trade. Revenue streams consist of transaction-fee freight forwarding across all transport modes and professional services for warehousing, cargo handling, packaging, and insurance. Pricing is customized per shipment with no public rate cards; customer relationships are initiated via direct outreach, website contact forms, phone inquiries, and the firm's six sales offices. Marketing channels are top-of-funnel digital (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) supplemented by bottom-of-funnel direct inquiry. The company holds FIATA, IATA, CTPAT, and OEA certifications and operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed funding, investor base, or parent company.

Regional players

• Grupo TMM: Mexican multimodal logistics company historically focused on maritime and port operations plus inland transport and warehousing. Overlaps with RAD on Mexico-based multi-modal logistics and warehousing but with stronger maritime/port asset heritage.
• Estafeta Mexicana: Mexican logistics and parcel delivery company with national distribution and cross-border capabilities, focused primarily on domestic Mexican shipments. Operates in adjacent segments (parcel, domestic distribution, international shipping) to RAD in the Mexican market.
• Agunsa: Chilean-headquartered Latin American multimodal logistics operator offering freight forwarding (air, ocean, land), warehousing, and customs services across Latin America. Comparable multi-modal forwarding model to RAD but operating in different South American geographies.

Direct peers

• Hub Group: US-based multimodal logistics provider offering intermodal, truck brokerage, and logistics services with dedicated Mexico cross-border operations. Comparable to RAD's cross-border US-Mexico ground transport and forwarding focus.
• Expeditors International: US-headquartered global logistics company focused on international freight forwarding (air and ocean) and customs brokerage, with active Mexico and cross-border operations. Closely comparable business model to RAD's asset-light multi-modal forwarding approach.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest global freight forwarders with significant Mexico and North America operations offering multi-modal (sea, air, road, contract logistics) services. Directly comparable to RAD in multi-modal international forwarding but at vastly greater scale.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: Global freight forwarding and supply chain arm of Deutsche Post DHL with extensive Mexico and cross-border Laredo operations across air, ocean, and road freight. Overlaps with RAD's full multi-modal portfolio but as part of a much larger global network.
• C.H. Robinson: Major North American third-party logistics provider offering truckload, less-than-truckload, intermodal, and global forwarding services with substantial US-Mexico cross-border capabilities. Overlaps directly with RAD's terrestrial and forwarding services in the same geography.
• A.P. Møller-Mærsk (Maersk Logistics & Services): Global container shipping and integrated logistics company with significant presence in Mexican ports and inland logistics, offering ocean, road, and supply chain services. Comparable to RAD's maritime forwarding offering but as part of a fully integrated ocean carrier ecosystem.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider (including the acquired DB Schenker business) with strong air, sea, and road freight forwarding services across the Americas. Competes with RAD across the same multi-modal international forwarding categories at significantly larger scale.
