His company has moved freight across this border since 1913. Marcos Benavides, CEO of Brennan and Company, sits down with THE PORTCAST — live from the Port Laredo Global Trade Summit 2026 — to talk about what really happens at North America's Leading Trade Gateway.

Laredo just became the #1 port in America, moving $353B+ in trade a year — and most people have never heard the name. This is the corridor's story, told from the actual port by the people who've spent generations moving it.
