TA Services Acquires Carmen Pacheco Transportation and Interload Forwarding, Expanding U.S.-Mexico Cross-Border Capabilities

The acquisition adds transportation capacity, more than 550,000 square feet of warehousing, and established operations in the El Paso and Laredo border markets.

MANSFIELD, Texas, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TA Services, the non-asset flagship division of PS Logistics, today announced it has acquired the assets and operations of Carmen Pacheco Transportation, LLC (CPT) and Interload Forwarding, LLC (ILF). CPT and ILF are family-owned transportation and logistics businesses serving customers across the United States, Mexico and Canada. The acquisition expands TA's cross-border transportation and warehousing capabilities and strengthens its presence in two key border markets: El Paso and Laredo, Texas.

Together, CPT and ILF provide local and long-haul transportation, warehousing, cross-docking, freight consolidation and deconsolidation, brokerage, and customs-related services. The transaction includes trucking assets, five warehouses totaling more than 550,000 square feet, and a truck yard of approximately 10 acres.

"Cross-border performance depends on what happens on both sides of the border and at every handoff in between," said Scott Schell, CEO of TA Services. "CPT and ILF have developed their people, built exceptional facilities and demonstrated elite transportation capabilities to manage those handoffs for their customers. We are merging two similar cultures with a strong focus on the core values that drive success in our businesses. Bringing our teams together gives us a stronger foundation to serve manufacturers and other shippers moving freight through the U.S.–Mexico corridor. As the industrial economy continues to expand in 2026 and over the years to come, we are setting ourselves up to be a key partner to support this growth."

What began as a family enterprise founded by Richard Ibarra Sr. has grown into an integrated transportation and warehousing operation. The entire CPT and ILF team and members of the Ibarra family will remain involved in the businesses, providing continuity for employees and customers as the teams come together.

"We built these companies by knowing our customers, keeping our word and taking care of the freight entrusted to us," said Richard Ibarra Sr., founder of CPT and ILF. "We are excited to partner with TA. This gives our customers access to more markets and services, and it gives our employees a place to work and grow under a strong brand that shares our commitment to service."

The addition of CPT and ILF further supports one of TA Services' strategic growth initiatives by expanding its existing cross-border operations and complementing its broader transportation, warehousing and supply chain capabilities across North America.
