MODE Global bets on Puebla to unlock Mexico freight growth

MODE Global has opened its first office in Mexico, planting a flag in Puebla as the Chattanooga-based logistics provider looks to tighten control over cross-border freight flows and expand deeper into the country’s domestic shipping market. The new corporately owned office and transportation yard is designed to handle over-the-road, intermodal, air and ocean shipments while supporting both cross-border and intra-Mexico services, the company said. Company executives say the move reflects a broader structural shift in how MODE manages freight across North America. “This isn’t just a new office — it’s a structural shift for us in how we manage our cross-border freight,” Jason Roberts, MODE Global’s senior vice president of digital enablement, told FreightWaves in an interview.
