Today, we've invited Matt Silver on the show to give us a clear overview of the Mexico market, cross-border transportation, the growth of Mexico's freight volume, and the increasing opportunity of investing and expanding your freight business in this market.
About Matt Silver
Matt Silver is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cargado, an early stage
technology startup revolutionizing how U.S.-Mexico cross-border
logistics is executed. Silver is an industry leader in cross-border
freight whose career spans over a decade, deeply rooted in the
industry since his teenage years. His expertise lies in integrating
technology with traditional logistics practices, emphasizing the
industry's evolution while acknowledging the importance of
relationships.
Matt's notable career began at Coyote, where he was instrumental in
establishing and leading the Mexico department, which he helped
integrate into UPS in 2015. In 2018, he founded Forager, a
Chicago-based venture-backed freight tech company that
revolutionized freight movement between the US, Mexico, and Canada.
Foragerβs platform provided comprehensive solutions for shippers
and carriers, powered by a uniquely built internal TMS, enhancing
the overall efficiency of cross-border freight.
In early 2022, Forager was acquired by Arrive Logistics, marking a
significant stride in cross-border logistics. This acquisition
combined Forager's cross-border expertise with Arrive's domestic
network, accelerating growth and establishing Arrive as a leader in
North American cross-border logistics.
At the end of September 2023, Matt left Arrive and embarked on a
new project with a focus on further innovating U.S.-Mexico
cross-border logistics. His vision and leadership continue to shape
the future of U.S.-Mexico logistics.
