Innovation. Partnership. Solutions.  For the past 30 years, these guiding principles have allowed me to transform end-to-end logistics, distribution, and transportation services through Trancasa and its sister companies. One company became three, and three companies became an international powerhouse known for its ability to deliver state-of-the-art services to every client across the Mexico/US border. As President and CEO of Trancasa, I have lead innovative transportation services that positioned Trancasa as the number one importer and exporter over the Pharr International Bridge between Mexico and Canada. Driven by my passion to deliver the most efficient and reliable services possible, Trancasa's fleet of more than 700 tractors and 1,800 trailers boasts new equipment, state-of-the-art security systems, live footage, and GPS tracking. Consistent growth In 2010, I realized there was a need for headquarters over the Mexico-US border in Pharr, Texas. In order to bring that vision to life, I partnered with the City of Pharr. With the City’s support in building the necessary infrastructure and providing all equipment, we were able to create the Pharr Business Bridge Park in 2016.  What began as a storage and distribution facility quickly became the 67-acre site of Trancasa's headquarters, a truck yard, and two more facilities. PBBP2 was completed in 2019 and has 100% occupancy, while PBBP3 will be completed in 2020 and is already at 70% of its lease capacity. During my time here, I have helped grow Trancasa from a transport and logistics company to a robust ecosystem. Trancasa’s growth over the years I am committed to the latest technology, extensive fleets, and secure infrastructure. The ability to make those commitments a reality has attracted notable clients to Pharr, created more than 350 direct and indirect jobs in the area. Trancasa and its sister companies now offer innovative and state-of-the-art solutions for every step of the logistics, transportation, storage, and distribution process. It is the number one importer and exporter over the Pharr International Bridge and has grown to be a robust company with multiple business parks, a truckyard, and an official HQ in Pharr.
