Uber Freight recently announced a milestone in its ongoing efforts to support shippers in Mexico, achieving $750 million in Freight Under Management.
As nearshoring continues to reshape global supply chains, Mexico has emerged as a key hub for international trade. In response, Uber Freight is enhancing its capabilities with new leadership, expanded office locations, and robust infrastructure to provide shippers with efficient cross-border operations.
“As nearshoring transforms supply chains and cross-border trade expands, our priority is ensuring that our shipper partners have the resources and support they need to thrive in this evolving landscape,” Lior Ron, founder and CEO of Uber Freight, said. “By deepening our presence in Mexico and strengthening our team with industry-leading talent, we’re committed to making cross-border logistics simpler and more efficient for our customers, helping them unlock new growth opportunities and navigate challenges with ease.”
With more than 1,300 employees dedicated to cross-border operations and nearly 300 new team members joining this year, Uber Freight has strengthened its leadership and expanded its presence across Mexico. In July of this year, the company opened a new office in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, bringing its total number of cross-border locations to 10, including Mexico City, Monterrey, Queretaro, Manzanillo, Saltillo, Tijuana, and Laredo, Texas. The company now manages 1.5 million square feet of warehouse space for cross-border logistics, making Uber Freight one of the leading providers of cross-border warehousing solutions in Mexico.

Uber Freight also launched an Innovation Center in Mexico City to accelerate technology advancements and optimize logistics solutions in the region.
In July of this year, Uber Freight appointed Jesus Ojeda as EVP of Mexico. With more than 30 years in the logistics industry, Ojeda previously led customs solutions as SVP at Transplace before its acquisition by Uber Freight.
“We’re in the midst of one of the biggest cross-border logistics booms in history, and demand is only set to increase,” Ojeda said. “The entire Uber Freight team is committed to supporting our customers, guiding them through the complexities of international shipping, and helping them capitalize on the opportunities it presents. Our latest investments, including the launch of our Innovation Center in Mexico City, reflect our dedication to driving technological advancements and delivering cutting-edge logistics solutions. It's a testament to the hard work of every employee in making this vision a reality.”
