LTL truck service) and JiT24.7
(third-party logistics service)
WHERE:

WEBSITE:
The company is looking into opportunities
to grow its LTL and full-truckload offerings
into cross-border markets, driven by the
idea that what they have to offer isn’t just for
Canadians – and that it doesn’t need to be
solely accomplished through expanding the
existing customer base.
“I don’t think we have to just be indigenous
toCanada going forward,” he said.
“With the value proposition we have,
there’s a lot of upside opportunities to look
at other parts of North America. And that
growth, both within the existing Canadian
footprint – plus with expansion into other
regions – will be both organic growth and
also potential M&A activity. It’s not going
to be a one-dimensional strategy. It’ll be use
trying to grow with our existing customers
and then looking at M&A where it can
enhance our existing footprint or allow us
to get intomarketswe’re not in today.”
