Rethink Reshoring EP10 Interview with Johnny Araiza, VP of Cross-Border Operations at Dunavant Logistics

I know Dunavant is providing logistics and trucking services to cross-border customers, especially in Laredo and El Paso, and you are located in Laredo. Tell us about Dunavant and your operations.

Have you seen changes in volume or operations since the new USMCA replaced NAFTA?

What about companies that are nearshoring to Mexico? Do you see changes in the strategies of companies that are doing cross-border business?

Let’s talk about the automotive sector…I know that Dunavant does a lot of hauling for this sector. Describe the business – I know that auto parts often cross the border several times before they are ready to be sent to the final customer. Tell us about this process.

What about cross-border hot shots? What other industrial sectors are growing?

I am sure you’ve seen a lot of changes in logistics and transportation over the past few years. What can you tell us about new trends and innovation at Dunavant?
