TFI International Inc. has reported a drop in second-quarter profit as weak demand took a toll on the volume of goods it hauls.

Canada’s largest trucking firm reported net income of US$98.2 million for the three months ended June 30, down from US$115.7 million a year earlier.

That amounted to earnings of US$1.17 per diluted share, a decrease from US$1.36 during the same 2024 period.

Revenue was US$2.04 billion versus US$2.26 billion in the prior-year quarter.

Montreal-based TFI says the decrease was mainly due to reduced volumes driven by weaker end-market demand.

Chief executive Alain Bédard says the company was able to perform despite still-subdued market conditions and he’s pleased that during the quarter TFI was able to pay a dividend and buy back shares.
