NOM-068 issued by the SCT:

The Mexican Official Standard establishes the physical-mechanical specifications to limit the traffic of vehicles that provide the Federal Transportation Service for Passenger, Tourism, Cargo and Private Transportation, on roads and bridges under federal jurisdiction within the United Mexican States, as well as the inspection and verification procedures to determine such limitations.

    Are the guidelines for vehicles the same for transport to airports as for regular transport?

      No Framework, each transport system has its own guidelines.

    What is the main law of logistics?

      Law No. 1. A GOOD LOGISTICS MAN PLANS, NOT IMPROVISES.
      The transport or warehouse activity is something that lacks the rigor and control of the circumstances that a production chain has. But it is something that can be planned, taking into account multiple variables, such as delays, alternative activities, dimensioning, prior preparation, etc. Plan as much as you can and prepare for the unexpected.
