The INEGI DENUE lists 1,726 logistics and transport companies (freight carriers, warehousing, forwarders and couriers) in Tamaulipas, of which 1,726 are active. With 5.5% of Mexico's section H records, Tamaulipas is the 5th largest of the country's 32 states for this sector (extraction 2026-05-20). The sector is over-represented here: section H is 6.6% of all records in Tamaulipas against 3.7% nationally, a location quotient of 1.78.

Nuevo Laredo concentrates 38.0% of the active companies, followed by Reynosa (240) and Altamira (238); the three together hold 65.7%. INEGI's DENUE dates establishments by the edition that first listed them, not by founding date, so there is no openings series for Mexico. By ISIC division, 52 (warehousing and support activities for transportation) is 44.8% of the records and 49 (land transport and transport via pipelines) 42.8%. Size is known for 100% of the active companies; 52% of those are micro and 241 are medium or large.

Road freight carriers dominate division 49 and are the long tail; freight forwarders, customs brokers, port and airport operators register under 52. Fleet telematics, fuel cards, insurance, freight marketplaces and cross-border logistics vendors use this section. Owner-driver carriers appear as companies only when incorporated, which varies by country.
