Mexican freight groups plan nationwide work stoppage from Monday
Freight transport groups in Mexico plan an indefinite national stoppage from October 26.
They say they will close one lane on the country's main roads.
The groups say authorities have not formally answered their demands, despite earlier attempts to seek meetings with officials.
Their concerns include highway insecurity, extortion, poor road conditions, excessive regulation and reduced tax incentives.
The transporters say these pressures threaten companies and jobs in a sector that carries goods across the country.
The groups include Canacar and organizations representing small transport businesses.
They say the stoppage can still be avoided if senior officials address their demands.

Gobernación reitera apertura al diálogo con organizaciones transportistas
Autotransportistas, entre ellos de Canacar, anuncian paro el lunes 26 de octubre
Gobernación pide a transportistas no afectar a ciudadanía con paro del próximo lunes; llama al diálogo
What people are saying
Ante la falta de una respuesta formal y satisfactoria, anunciamos un paro nacional del autotransporte de carga a partir del próximo lunes y por tiempo indefinido.
No es una decisión que tomemos con ligereza.
Pero tampoco podemos seguir aceptando que los problemas del sector se acumulen sin una respuesta efectiva.
