Canadian National and motor carrier TFI International are renewing their collaboration to grow domestic intermodal business in markets across Canada.
The long-term partnership offers a range of best-in-class services, including truckload, less-than-truckload and package and courier.
"Over the last five years, TFI International has grown its operating divisions' presence in the domestic intermodal market and its companies have a combined 100 years of collaboration with CN," said J.J. Ruest, CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer. "We believe our expanding partnership will help both our organizations provide more consistent, reliable service for our shared and growing customer base."
Said Alain Bédard, TFI International Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, "We are very pleased to have this productive partnership in place with a superior supply chain partner which will ensure best-in-class service for our valued customers. This agreement is in line with TFI's stated objective to grow its intermodal presence in Canada."
The trucker is the former TransForce Inc., having changed its name in December. In January it acquired World Courier Ground U.S., the U.S. ground transportation division of World Courier, from AmerisourceBergen Corp.
