The implementation of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) has given some impact towards the cross-border activities for ASEAN countries. Competitiveness, single market, cross border logistics have been the main highlight for the haulage operators that provide a cross border service between Malaysia and Thailand. This paper is discussing the strategies that need to be taken by the government and haulage operators in making Malaysia especially Bukit Kayu Hitam as the logistics hub between Malaysia and Thailand. Malaysia needs to upgrade its Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex facilities, Information Technology investment and address the talent issue for drivers for Malaysia to prepare facing AEC.
