Thousands of trucks daily connect agricultural and shrimp farming areas, collection centers, ports, and border crossings with Colombia and Peru. Their operation allows for the transport of national production to exit points and maintains the flow of imports.

The Simón Bolívar Maritime Port of Guayaquil alone handles between 11,000 and 15,000 trucks weekly, while the Guayaquil Port Terminal mobilizes hundreds of containers every day. The growth of foreign trade has also increased pressure on roads and port infrastructure.
