Intermodal

GLM is an IMC (sales partner) of Ferromex since 2005, developing the Interpacific service, which runs from Mexico City to Mexicali. It offers the following advantages:                 

  • Empty equipment availability

  • Competitive pricing

  • Eco friendly service

  • Tracking visibility

  • Low theft risk, cargo insurance available

The Interpacific service has over 2,000 53-ft containers. 5 weekly departures (both North and Southbound). It covers all Mexico's pacific corridor as well as most of california (with OTR final delivery). Border crossing is usually through Calexico, and often cross-docking at the border offers additional savings. Average transit time is 6 days between the border to/form Mexico City.


Through cross-docking at the border we can take advantage of legal weight limitations in Mexico and US.                 

De tal manera que de 3 cargas que se generan en origen, se harían 4 que van de la frontera hacia California.
