Mesilla Valley Transportation Company Overview

Mesilla Valley Transportation company logo

Located in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and in El Paso, Texas, MVT began in 1981 hauling primarily refrigerated/perishable goods, as a small, independent fleet in the Southwest. During a period of controlled growth through the 1980's and early 1990's, the MVT service area encompassed the 48 United States and Canada.

In 1991, MVT brought its knowledge of time-sensitive, reliable transportation to the U.S./Mexico border in service of the twin-plant industry. The acquisition of numerous 53 ft. dry van trailers made their fleet a sizable force in the industry.

Today, Mesilla Valley Transportation is one of the largest locally-owned transportation providers in Western Texas and New Mexico, specializing in time sensitive service between major manufacturing areas in the U.S. and Canada, and Mexico borders.
