El Paso Businesses Seek New Solutions to Border Delays
In 2001, Rick and Laura Hernandez started a business called Mustang Express. The company says that it ships things like car parts, hospital supplies, raw materials, and more. The carrier works with companies that make cars, medical supplies, paper goods, and electrical gadgets.
About half an hour from the Bridge of the Americas crossing is where Mustang Express stops.
Online Transport, which started in 2000 and is based in Greenfield, Indiana, is there. The company has a network of 10 sites across the country, from which it offers trading, storage delivery, and over-the-road shipping services (including bulk liquid, flatbed, chilled, and dry van).
SONAR data shows that exports leaving El Paso were about 3.7% lower last Friday than they were the week before. The number of people leaving El Paso has dropped by 36% each year.
In the past few months, companies in the El Paso area have had trouble with delays at the U.S.-Mexico border. This has happened for many reasons, including technology problems on both sides and people stopping traffic at the border.
