What TFI International does

North American trucking and logistics company spanning package/courier, LTL, truckload and logistics.

Grew mainly by buying other trucking and logistics firms and keeping them as separate operating companies, so it sells many services across four areas. The 2021 purchase of UPS Freight, renamed TForce Freight, made less-than-truckload shipping (loads too big for couriers but too small for a full trailer) a major part. Based in Montreal.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
