Tamaulipas → Tamaulipas · Autopista 85D Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo
Before turning the key for Tampico, Tamaulipas, out of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, run through the pre-trip checklist: registration card in the glovebox, current insurance card on your phone, working SunPass or E-ZPass transponder for the electronic toll plazas along Autopista 85D Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo, and a printed backup of the destination address in case GPS reception drops. The locked itinerary measures 755 km (469 miles) with an optimistic estimate of 8h 23m if cruise control sits steadily within the posted limit. Pulling out of Nuevo Laredo, the principal puerto fronterizo de comercio terrestre con Estados Unidos, the road eventually delivers you to Tampico, the puerto petrolero del Golfo y enlace logístico entre Tamaulipas y Veracruz. Schedule departure outside the morning rush window and pack a thermos of coffee to skip an unscheduled stop in the first hundred miles. Budget around MXN 1522.18 just for the pump (62.9 liters / 16.6 gallons of gasolina Magna) plus headroom for tolls. Outbound reimbursement at MXN 6.50/km equals MXN 4907.50 cleared to the driver.

For the US professional driving the 755 km (469 mi) between Nuevo Laredo and Tampico, reimbursement of MXN 4907.50 stays non-taxable to the employee when the employer follows an accountable plan under Treas. Reg. §1.62-2 and reimburses at or below the IRS standard mileage rate. US employers generally reimburse at the IRS standard mileage rate so the payment stays non-taxable to the employee under Pub. 463. Keep the IRS-compliant expense report (Form 1040 Schedule C, line 9) alongside the fuel receipt from any EIA-tracked retail station network pump used along the leg; Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examiners pull contemporaneous mileage logs first when auditing Schedule C unreimbursed business expenses, and the Nuevo Laredo→Tampico corridor must show date, business purpose, and odometer readings.
