The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has announced the addition of Olympic Transport as its first carrier member from Mexico. This development marks a significant expansion of TCA's influence in North America, now actively serving members in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
Jim Ward, president of the TCA, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome Olympic Transport to the TCA family. Their inclusion not only marks an important milestone in our association's history but also strengthens our position as a dynamic North American trade association. With Olympic Transport, we enhance our advocacy and representation of carriers across North America, ensuring a more connected and efficient cross-border trucking landscape."
Founded in 1990 by Fernando Páez, Olympic Transport has become a key player in cross-border logistics. Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, the company operates strategic terminals in Nuevo Laredo, Monclova, Querétaro, Laredo, and San Antonio, Texas. The company is renowned for providing seamless services that comply with regulations across North America. Olympic Transport's journey began with the purchase of Fernando Paez's first truck in San Antonio, Texas, from a Freightliner dealership, laying the groundwork for what has become a highly respected operation known for its efficient and straightforward cross-border transportation solutions.
Fernando Páez, CEO of Olympic Transport, commented on the new partnership, saying, "Joining TCA is a proud moment for all of us at Olympic Transport. This membership signifies our commitment to enhancing the efficiency and safety of North America's freight transportation network.

It underscores the growing importance of cross-border logistics and the need for cohesive advocacy and representation to ensure smooth and efficient operations. As trade and transportation demands continue to evolve, the collaboration between TCA and Olympic Transport can pave the way for more integrated and streamlined trucking services across the continent.
