A Significant Milestone

"We are thrilled to welcome Olympic Transport to the TCA family. Their inclusion not only marks a significant milestone in our association's history but also strengthens our position as a dynamic North American trade association,” said Jim Ward, President of TCA. “With Olympic Transport, we enhance our advocacy and representation of carriers across all of North America, ensuring a more connected and efficient cross-border trucking landscape."

Founded in 1990 by Fernando Paez, Olympic Transport has become a pivotal player in cross-border logistics. Headquartered in Monterrey, Mexico, with strategic terminals in Nuevo Laredo, Monclova, Queretaro, Laredo, and San Antonio, Texas, the company excels in providing seamless and regulatory-compliant services across North America.

Their journey to success began with Fernando's first truck purchase in San Antonio, Texas, from a Freightliner dealership, which set the foundation for what has become a highly regarded operation known for its efficient, straightforward cross-border transport solutions.

"Joining the TCA is a proud moment for all of us at Olympic Transport,” said Olympic Transport CEO, Fernando Paez. “This partnership signifies our commitment to enhancing the efficiency and safety of North America's freight transportation network. We look forward to contributing to and benefiting from TCA's extensive resources and advocacy efforts, further enabling our growth and operational excellence across borders."
