YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Border Capacity Must Keep Pace With Nearshoring Demand
- Mexico–US goods trade exceeded US$798 billion in 2023, concentrating freight at key crossings where congestion and variable wait times disrupt delivery plans.
- Lane-level network analysis and border-flow scenarios help YCP redesign routes, inventory buffers and partner models to protect service levels and reduce delays.
Road Dependence Raises Security and Service Risks
- Road transport moves roughly 56% of domestic freight by volume, while cargo theft on major corridors continues to add insurance, routing and inventory costs.
- Combining corridor risk mapping with transport-procurement expertise, YCP helps teams strengthen security protocols and build resilient carrier networks.
Driver Shortages Put Fleet Reliability Under Pressure
- Mexico faced an estimated shortage of about 56,000 truck drivers in 2023, limiting fleet availability as nearshoring increases demand for dependable capacity.
- Workforce and operating-model assessments enable YCP to improve driver retention, optimize fleet utilization and create practical capacity plans with logistics partners.
High Logistics Costs Demand End-to-End Efficiency
- Logistics costs represent about 13% of Mexico’s GDP, compared with roughly 8% in the US, as fragmented networks, empty miles and uneven capacity compress margins.
- End-to-end cost diagnostics give YCP a basis to streamline networks, improve warehouse-to-transport coordination and prioritize investments with measurable returns.
