MONTREAL, March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TFI International Inc. (NYSE and TSX: TFII), a North American leader in the transportation and logistics industry, today announced the acquisition of Hercules Forwarding, Inc. (“Hercules”), a Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carrier with an emphasis on intra-US and US-to-Canada cross-border transportation. Founded in 1985 and family-owned with US headquarters in Vernon, California and Canadian headquarters in New Westminster, BC, Hercules utilizes a 31-terminal network and operates more than 210 trucks, close to 600 trailers and approximately 75 containers, generating more than US $100 million in annual revenues.

Led by its president, Marty Burnham and CFO, Melanie Burnham, Hercules will join TFI’s LTL business segment.

We are pleased to welcome Marty, Melanie, and the entire Hercules team to the TFI International family.”
