This could turn out to be a big bargaining issue. Many Mexican carriers eventually will be convinced that it is more convenient, profitable and feasible to lease new equipment to provide the service rather than buying it and getting into long-term indebtedness. The country is still recovering from the most recent devaluation in 1995. This represents a risk, but at this point it is worth taking since Mexico's economy is emerging from the crisis and becoming stronger day by day. Definitely, according to Mr. Sesma.
Globalization is the driving force.
Shippers want their carriers and service providers to already have a working knowledge of other countries. You will be judged not on your abilities as an explorer, but on your capability in providing cross-border services.
