What TForce Freight Canada Inc. does

TForce Freight Canada Inc. is a Mississauga-headquartered expedited Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight carrier and end-to-end logistics provider, wholly owned by TFI International. Founded in 1990 as Quik X and rebranded to TForce Freight Canada effective January 1, 2022, the company operates eight owned Canadian terminals spanning Mississauga, Montreal, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Calgary, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver, and reaches 200+ North American terminals through its affiliate TForce Freight in the USA.

The company's core product set comprises three pillars: Expedited Domestic LTL (next-day services between Southern Ontario and Quebec, equipment access including straight trucks, 53' trailers, flatbeds, and dedicated fleets); Cross Border LTL (seamless Canada-USA shipping leveraging the affiliate terminal network with customs expertise across ACE, CSA, C-TPAT, FAST, and PIP programs); and the Quik X Logistics division (full-suite logistics including truckload, flatbed, hazardous goods, temperature-controlled, intermodal, warehousing and fulfillment, cartage and drayage, and international air/ocean forwarding with offices in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Chicago). Supporting tooling includes a Track & Trace system with six tracking identifier options, a MyLTL customer portal, digital proof-of-delivery automation, cellular-scanner-equipped driver fleet, barcode and cubing systems at terminals, and EDI integration.

TForce Freight Canada monetizes primarily through transaction fees on LTL, cross-border, and logistics shipments, supplemented by weekly fuel surcharges (e.g., 46.2% CAD LTL, 89.9% CAD TL for the week of 2026/07/20) and accessorial charges governed by Tariff 100. Go-to-market blends enterprise field sales led by VPs of Sales and Finance, inside sales for rate estimates and customer service, and a self-serve MyLTL portal for SMB and mid-market shippers. The company is part of TFI International's diversified network of subsidiaries operating in Package & Courier, LTL, Truckload, and Logistics segments.
