BEST LOCATION

     TIGA is always investing in infrastructure; and in 1996, we moved to a new location in order to be closer to the industrial parks and closer to you.  This new location is behind Panasonic and across the street from LG Electronics in Reynosa and on Carretera al Aeropuerto Km 1.2 in Nuevo Laredo (10 minutes away from the bridge).  We concluded that quality service is affected by the time it takes us to answer your call.

 NEW EQUIPMENT

    In the last 10 years TIGA has established the investment in new vehicles as one of its top priorities. Since 1994 all trucks purchased have been new and their maintenance has been done by qualified personnel in order to improve the quality of service.  Today 90% of our equipment is less than 2 years old and it includes:

Nissan Urvan	Straight trucks: 10-12 skid capacity
Trucks for transfer and regional service	Tractors for long haul into México
Tractors for long haul into México

 

 

OTHER SERVICES

     In the second semester of 2001 we started operations dealing with the transportation of hazardous materials and hazardous waste both in Mexico and across into the U. S. due to requests by our clients to do so. Although this represented a well-received addition, we have yet to penetrate the local market in force. Another project in the works right now which we plan to see operational within next year is LTL service from Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey and back with pick up and delivery the same day to Industrial clients. For this, we have acquired four new straight trucks with 24-ft dry boxes with hydraulic lift gates. Our expectations for this project are high because of the lack of quality service in this market.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  

24 hours tracking service

Nation-wide satellite tracking system

Street-level tracking

Our communication system links our headquarters and your traffic department directly to the driver. This way the client always knows the exact status of its load to better coordinate the import/export operations. The reach of our radio system is about 60 miles because it is dedicated to border transfers. The reach of our satellite tracking system (Omnitracs) is nation-wide.

24 HOURS SERVICE

     Our management staff is at your service 24 hours a day including holidays and weekends. A list of phone numbers is provided to this effect. Administrative staff is at your service from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturdays.

DRIVERS

     All our drivers are thoroughly evaluated since the initial interview. To work in our organization, drivers must pass a drug-test when they are hired.  A random 25% is tested again every three months to ensure that we have trustworthy individuals behind the wheel. Their work background is also screened and they undergo training where we emphasize our commitment to our clients and our way of doing operations. At the end, they are given their uniform which they proudly wear.  

DRIVING SCHOOL

     TIGA is currently operating a driving school within our terminal. It is an ISO certified driving school, the first in the region and the third in the state, authorized by Mexico's DOT. This allows us to graduate new generations of better-trained drivers to perform their jobs in a region where the demand of drivers is high. This project also allows for drivers to become acquainted with our procedures from the beginning.

INTERCHANGE AGREEMENTS

     Our organization has interchange agreements with several American freight carriers to allow for door-to-door service. Carriers like POINT, CELADON, CFI, DANNY HERMAN, CENTRAL FREIGHT LINES, SST, TCI and TRILEX place their trust on us to work together for the benefit of a client.

QUALITY IN SERVICE

     The most important goal of TIGA is to offer its clients the best quality in freight service
