The Eighth Annual Modernization of Cross Border Trade Conference, which is hosted by Reliance Partners, took place in mid-June and it offered a number of valuable insights on what’s happening with cross-border trade between the U.S. and Mexico. Mark Vickers, the Executive Vice President of International Operations for Reliance Partners, started the conference eight years ago and he has championed its growth and evolution through the years.

For this episode, Trucking Matters host Thom Albrecht, the Chief Revenue Officer of Reliance Partners, spent some time with Mark looking back at the eighth edition of the conference. As you’ll hear, the great conversation between Thom and Mark explores the growth of the event, the types of companies that attend, the impact of political changes on trade, and the importance of infrastructure investment. The conversation also covers regulatory changes, challenges related to cargo theft, and the future of cross-border trade, including innovations like the Green Bridge project. Trucking Matters is a production of Reliance Partners in collaboration with PodWheels. To learn more about Reliance Partners, please visit ReliancePartners.com.
