The type of research used is descriptive since it describes in a detailed and exact way the current conditions of the massive load companies and studies the behaviors within the group of collaborators. The population contemplated is 30 companies of the massive cargo sector and in turn are used as a sample of this work and thus be able to implement research instrument, using different sources of information collection in web pages, magazines, research bulletins, electronic books, degree works and the survey, among others, which with great validity allow to carry out this research work.

It allows the companies to have a general vision of the concept of organizational culture to be supported in the specific topic to project and channel new corporate objectives and that thanks to the implementation of strategies and durability in time will guarantee a remembrance in the final client and an increase in the level of sales included in shipments, reception of correspondence and massive load. It allows to improve the communication channels among the members since, thanks to the knowledge of the concept of organizational culture, it focuses and orients both personal and corporate objectives. Recommendations: to make known to the group of collaborators that decision making implies changes that can impact positively or negatively on the organization and that thanks to the implementation of strategies and commitment by the group of collaborators without becoming imposing, but with the spirit of a significant positive change. Implement the concept of additional remuneration or commissions creating a culture of reward and incentive within the staff, since the staff is motivated and encouraged to give a little more of their potential, contributing to the increase of sales in the massive cargo companies. Supported by the new trends, seek for the implementation of E-Learning as a distance training tool in agreements with educational institutions in order to contribute to personal growth, qualification and qualification of human talent. To give way to new policies with an open mentality to change, leaving behind the cohesive factor of loyalty and tradition that in a certain way have been of great benefit to the massive cargo companies, but if new alternatives or policies are found, it will allow creating a more flexible organizational culture, finally including the concept of inclusive culture that allows integrating especially people with disabilities or different conditions and abilities among people and especially people members of the LGBTIQ+ group.
