Company Description
TFI International Inc. (TFII) is a transportation and logistics company that operates across the United States, Canada and Mexico through its subsidiaries. The company is publicly traded on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TFII, positioning it within the transportation and warehousing sector and the general freight trucking industry.
According to its public disclosures, TFI International describes itself as a North American leader in the transportation and logistics industry. It creates value by identifying strategic acquisitions and managing a growing network of wholly owned operating subsidiaries. Under the TFI International umbrella, these subsidiaries gain access to financial and operational resources intended to help them build their businesses and increase efficiency.
Business Segments
TFI International states that its companies service several key segments of the transportation and logistics market:
- Package and Courier – operations focused on parcel and small-package movements.
- Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) – pickup, consolidation, transport and delivery of smaller loads that do not require a full trailer.
- Truckload – full-load transportation, often involving direct movements from shipper to destination.
- Logistics – asset-light logistics activities, which may include freight management and related services as described in company materials.
In addition, a Polygon description notes that TFI International is involved in the provision of transportation and logistics services across the United States, Canada and Mexico, with reportable segments that include Less-Than-Truckload, Truckload and Logistics. That description also indicates that the company’s Less-Than-Truckload segment engages in pickup, consolidation, transport and delivery of smaller loads, the Truckload segment handles full loads carried directly from the customer to the destination, and the Logistics segment provides asset-light logistics services such as brokerage, freight forwarding, transportation management and small package parcel delivery. It further notes that the company generates a significant portion of its revenue from the United States.
Geographic Footprint
TFI International’s public communications emphasize that it operates throughout North America. Its activities span the United States, Canada and Mexico, reflecting a cross-border network of subsidiaries and services. This geographic footprint supports shippers that require transportation and logistics solutions within and between these three countries.
Subsidiaries and Acquisitions
TFI International’s strategy includes acquiring and integrating transportation and logistics businesses. For example, a company news release describes a definitive agreement to acquire APPS Transport Group, an Ontario-based carrier that provides Less-Than-Truckload service as well as Truckload, warehousing, distribution and specialized logistics solutions within Ontario and throughout Canada. APPS serves customers in sectors such as retail, consumer goods, automotive supply, food and beverage, industrial and commercial supply, and wire and cable. Under the TFI International umbrella, APPS is expected to benefit from shared resources and an expanded operating network.
Another example is Craler Inc., which is described in a separate news release as a private Canadian company specializing in freight management that serves clients across North America, including Canada, the United States and Mexico. That release notes that Craler was acquired by TFI International and now operates as a division of TFI. This illustrates how TFI International incorporates specialized freight and logistics providers into its broader network.
Role in the Transportation and Logistics Industry
TFI International’s disclosures repeatedly refer to the company as a North American leader in transportation and logistics.

By managing a network of subsidiaries, TFI International is positioned to offer services that range from parcel delivery to full truckload movements and asset-light logistics activities.
The company’s involvement as a strategic investor in a digital freight technology platform, Loadsmart, is also noted in public news. That investment is described as allowing collaboration and idea sharing with a transportation and logistics company that has a wide breadth of operations. This indicates that TFI International engages with technology-focused partners in the freight space.
