TFI International acquired Ontario food-grade hauler Keith Hall & Sons

In August 2020, TFI International acquired Keith Hall & Sons Transport, a family-run carrier based in Burford, Ont., that hauled liquid and dry foods and general freight.

The deal was reported on Aug. 4, 2020.

The fleet

At the time of the purchase, Keith Hall & Sons:

• generated about $30 million in annual revenue
• employed more than 100 full-time company drivers, plus about 20 part-time drivers and owner-operators
• ran nearly 120 company tractors and more than 200 trailers, including tanks, vans and reefers
• operated a food-grade tank wash at its Burford facility

TFI chairman, president and CEO Alain Bédard said the carrier fit well with TFI's food-grade business and hauled products similar to its other tank companies. He described it as TFI's third acquisition in specialized truckload in 2020.
