Freight brokers are measuring their inboxes wrong. Most inbound email is monitoring, not work. And the longtail categories that look like noise are costing real margin. Here's how to audit what's actually in your inbox, and why it matters in 2026's margin-first market.
Texas's Marcelino Serna Port Reopens for Commercial Traffic
The Marcelino Serna Port of Entry in Texas is set to resume handling commercial truck traffic, providing an alternative route to busy El Paso crossings.
After a six-year hiatus, the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry in Texas, a border crossing for commercial truck traffic, will reopen on August 7. The decision to reopen the port, which is expected to handle about 300 trucks per week, came in response to the completion of the Samalayuca toll road, providing a new highway for vehicles traveling from northern Chihuahua to the border. The port boasts modern facilities and is geared to meet growing trade demands while ensuring homeland security. This move may provide much-needed relief to busy El Paso border entry crossings.
After being closed for five years, the Texas-Mexico crossing will open again on August 7. An entry of 300 #trucks per week is expected through the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry. This income will work from Monday to Friday during 10 am to 4 pm.#truckers#trucking#thursdayvibespic.twitter.com/8sLbmJB73o
