As U.S.-Mexico trade experiences growth after the 1993 ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with considerable economic benefits to the State of Texas, a look at the efficiency of transportation services and linkages at border ports-of-entry is a natural step in planning for future infrastructure. This report evaluates the efficiency of moving cargo at the Laredo gateway. The surface transportation modes investigated were motor carriers and railroads. Using two case studies, Contract Freighters, INC., (CFI) and Union Pacific (UP), this investigation contracts several border crossing schemes used in the transportation industry.
