Circle Logistics’ Cross-Border Service Includes US and Mexico Expedited and Air Shipments
May 07 2024 - 9:30AM
Circle Logistics (Circle), a leading player in the logistics and
transportation industry, officially announced its cross-border
freight service between the U.S. and Mexico, which includes
expedited and air shipments. Circle is currently moving twice the
Mexico volume compared to 2023, and anticipates 100% increase over
the next 10 years.
“We are hauling 50 loads a day cross-border and we have an
operations team - like our own customs clearing house or customs
brokerage - that clears shipments every day from Mexico,” said Eric
Fortmeyer, CEO of Circle Logistics. “The ability to clear customs
fast and deliver on-time is a huge competitive advantage we offer
shippers.”
Providing safe routes for cross-border drivers is also a huge
priority for Circle, especially since cargo theft increased by more
than 50% year-over-year from 2022 to 2023. Part of Circle’s
no-fail, human touch service includes a 24/7 operations team that
assists shippers and carriers - even on holidays - to ensure
shipper-carrier relationships remain positive and shipments arrive
on time and intact. Circle also leverages tracking solutions to
ensure loads are constantly monitored and drivers are safely
transporting goods.
The privately owned asset-based 3PL expanded its operations into
Panama about three years ago and the company now employs 100
Spanish-speaking team members who are nurturing relationships
daily, from sales to operations.
“Many large U.S.-based companies have moved their operations to
Mexico, so it’s necessary to develop priority dedicated lanes,
processes and trusted relationships for cross-border transportation
of goods back and forth between the countries,” said Derek Holst,
Senior Vice President, Circle Logistics. “Based on our experience
over the last few years, we’ve witnessed nearshoring benefits that
include decreased costs, emissions, risks and supply chain
disruptions.”
The Circle team’s cross-border services are helping
manufacturers move their goods closer to customers for faster
shipping. Due to years of nearshoring successes, the Circle team
anticipates growth, especially with quality goods being shipped
from Mexico back to the U.S.
