TFI International, a Canada-based logistics company, is considering breaking itself up into two separate companies. One company would focus on its truckload business, while the other would house the rest of its operations, including its less-than-truckload unit, package-and-courier business, and logistics segment. The decision comes after TFI International agreed to acquire Texas-based trucker Daseke in a $386 million all-cash deal. The truckload segment is expected to generate approximately $3.6 billion in annual revenue. TFI International’s CEO, Alain Bédard, stated that the acquisition advances the company’s strategic consideration of creating a unique opportunity for shareholders to separately invest in a specialized truckload business and in an LTL, P&C, and Logistics business. The immediate focus will be on improving Daseke’s financial results, with the strategic consideration of the separation to follow and be ongoing.
