ALERT: Potential Transportation Disruptions in Mexico Starting on Monday

We are writing to inform you of a developing situation in Mexico that may impact freight movement beginning Monday, April 6, 2026.

Several transportation and agricultural organizations, led by the National Association of Transporters (ANTAC), have announced a nationwide mobilization that could include temporary road blockages on key federal highways and access routes to major cities, industrial regions, and border crossings. The action is being positioned as a one‑day protest related to ongoing concerns around road security, extortion, and rising operating costs within the sector.

Based on publicly available information, potential impacts may include delays along major corridors serving Mexico City, the Bajío region, western and northern Mexico, and select cross‑border gateways. At this time, the duration and exact locations of any disruptions may vary.

Our operations and carrier partners are actively monitoring the situation and preparing contingency routing where possible. If you have time‑sensitive shipments scheduled around April 6, we encourage you to connect with your ProTrans representative to review options and mitigation strategies.

April 2nd Update:

Current reporting indicates elevated risk along Mexico City access routes, the Bajío and central industrial corridors, western and northern Mexico, and certain northern border gateways. While the scope and duration of disruptions remain uncertain, similar actions in the past have caused ripple effects across national logistics networks, even when impacts were localized.

Government discussions with sector leaders are ongoing, and organizers have indicated they will review any formal proposals before the weekend. However, as of now, the April 6 mobilization remains scheduled. CANACAR has issued an industry alert emphasizing safety and contingency planning, while clarifying it is not calling for participation in the protest.
