On 24 October, the Cámara Nacional del Autotransporte de Carga (Canacar) announced an indefinite national transport strike due to poor road conditions and insecurity, affecting over 5,000 cargo units. On 26 October, the strike was called off after successful negotiations with the federal government, which urged dialogue. By 27 October, Canacar agreed to lift highway blockades following discussions with the Secretaría de Gobernación (Segob), leading to improved logistics conditions. Finally, on 28 October, transport blockades were lifted, restoring normal operations across major highways after 34 hours of disruption.
