Mexico is the United States’
third-largest trading partner. In this
global market every company in
America does business with
Mexico. It’s normally not managed
by the international department, or
even the domestic transportation
department. More often than not,
due to the complexities of this
country, it’s handled in an area that
is not associated with the other
transportation departments.
Mainfreight USA becomes a CRAF partner.
Mainfreight USA Government
Division- recently became a CRAF
(Civil Reserve Air Fleet) partner with
Ryan International Airlines in the
US Transcom CRAF program. This
will give MFI the authority to handle
any US Government shipment to
and from any point in the world. In
addition, MFI has become an
awarded carrier on the WWX4
(World Wide Express) contract. This
contract is mandated for all US
Government facilities for shipments
151 lbs and up to and from
anywhere in the world.
Mainfreight is one of nine carriers
that were awarded this contract.
Frank Crossan, Director of
Government Services, and George
Frey, Vice President Global
Accounts have been visiting
Defense Depots, defense
contractors and military bases
with MFI sales teams to ensure
Mainfreight gets their share of
this contract.
There are many US military
bases and defense contractors
in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Mainfreight, by becoming a
CRAF carrier has a golden
opportunity to expand its
presence worldwide in the
Government marketplace.
FMS – Foreign Military Sales
is another large segment of
Government business for
foreign governments buying
Defense equipment from the US
Government. The transportation of
these shipments is controlled by
the foreign government. What they
spent on FMS for 2009-2010 was
$42 billion US dollars.
The Mainfreight USA Government
division is ready to work with its
overseas team members to develop
Government business worldwide.
