Revenue model
- Freight Transportation Services: TransMex generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service freight transportation. The company charges clients based on the type of cargo (dry box, refrigerated, car-hauler/nodriza, platform), route (domestic, cross-border, international), and service modality (standard, door-to-door, intermodal). Rates vary by service type, with operators compensated per kilometer (domestic), per mile (international), or per crossing (transfer). Revenue is transactional per shipment with no recurring subscription component for customers.
