TFI International is cutting costs across both its Less-Than-Truckload and Truckload businesses amid what CEO Alain Bédard described as a stubbornly lackluster freight environment.

TFI International acquired Entreposage Marco Inc. for an undisclosed sum, its fifth takeover in 2024 and second of a food-grade liquids hauler, the company announced in a LinkedIn post.

TFI International acquired Quebec-based specialized truckload carrier Transport MJ Lavoie for an undisclosed sum, its fourth purchase so far in 2024.

Profits at TFI International fell 17.1% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024 on the back of what CEO Alain Bédard said was a particularly weak freight environment.

TFI International is to buy less-than-truckload carrier Hercules Forwarding Inc. for an undisclosed sum, it said.

TFI International’s truckload operations could be merged with a competitor to divide the Montreal-based company into two publicly traded entities, likely in 2025, its CEO said Feb. 9.

Profits at TFI International in the fourth quarter fell 14.4% compared with the same period a year earlier, as acquisitions softened the impact of a weak freight environment.

TFI International Inc., a Canadian carrier that has been growing through acquisitions, announced plans to purchase flatbed specialist Daseke Inc. for $1.1 billion, including debt.

TFI International profits in the third quarter slumped 45.6% year-over-year, with the Canadian company primarily citing weaker market conditions, especially in the truckload market.

TFI International Inc. acquired tank transport specialist Vedder Transportation Group, the company said, in what was its ninth acquisition so far in 2023.
