TFI continues to integrate the acquisition and make changes to match the company’s operational strategy and improve efficiency. Bédard said he believes the division will achieve an operating ratio — the percentage expenses represent of revenue — in the 80 range within two years, down from in the 90s now.

“We are going to get this operation lean and mean so we have drivers pick up up more freight and driving less miles,” he said.

That requires a new focus on booking loads in a much smaller radius from TFI’s depots. He said that a daily set of deliveries for one driver shouldn’t require 300 miles of driving.

Bedard is an idiot who has not a clue. First off no teamster LTL carrier in the USA has ever operated at an or of 80 for any extended period of time. Secondly, the drivers go where the freight is available and tendered for pick up. If Bedard wants to build density in a tighter route, he'll need to give the shipppers/consignees better rates than he does now. TFI is a higher cost carrier that gives below average service, not a good combination.
