USA: TFI expands refrigerated transport services via acquisition

Quebec, Canada: Canadian transport and logistics company TFI International has acquired American temperature-controlled distribution firm D&D Sexton.

D&D, a family-owned business for more than 40 years, is based in Carthage, Missouri. It operates more than more than 120 tractors and nearly 400 refrigerated and dry van trailers.

TFI International is a North American transport and logistics provider, operating in the USA, Canada and Mexico. “D&D is an excellent strategic fit with the organization, culture, and business model of our CFI operating company, adding strategic capacity and valuable, longstanding customer relationships to its temperature-controlled business,” said Alain Bédard, chairman, president and chief executive of TFI International.

“In addition to an overlapping refrigerated freight network, D&D brings significant experience in local and shuttle operations. We see multiple near-term opportunities around costs, routes and pricing to enhance profitability, as well as longer-term opportunities to optimize equipment and the capacity network design, taking D&D to the next level of excellence.”
