Through adherence to TFI’s longstanding operating principles that emphasize continual focus on the customer, an asset-light approach, and ‘freight that fits’, TFI International is confident in its ability to navigate uncertain economic times, while also executing on multiple opportunities to streamline operations and drive further synergies related to the ongoing successful integration of TForce Freight.
