Werner Expands Mexico Intermodal Fleet to 800 Containers by Year-End

Key Details Werner Enterprises is doubling its intermodal container fleet in Mexico to 800 units by the end of 2024. The company will deploy additional 53-foot containers in Monterrey and Silao first, with Mexico City additions planned for the second half of the year. Why It Matters This expansion gives shippers better cross-border options during a period of strong nearshoring activity and rising truckload rates. Werner's intermodal revenue jumped 16% last year to $129 million, with intermodal loads up 17%, showing robust demand for these services. What Sets Werner Apart The carrier combines GPS tracking and cargo cameras on all containers with C-TPAT certified carriers for secure cross-border shipments. Werner also offers 24/7 bilingual support to streamline the shipping process and reduce friction in cross-border trade. The Bigger Picture Werner has operated in Mexico since 1999, positioning itself as a trusted local asset-based solution. The expansion capitalizes on nearshoring trends bringing foreign investment to Mexico and industrywide opportunities as fuel prices and rates remain elevated.
