TFI International announced that its data center and power grid-related transportation business is growing, highlighting strong revenue gains and a leadership move within its truckload operations.
TFI’s go-to-market, asset-based truckload brand SFI, with a fleet of about 8,000 tractors, transports high-value and sensitive cargo for data center and electric grid customers through multiple TFI operating companies.
TFI’s truckload segment generated more than $3 billion in total revenue in 2025, including $43 million tied to data center-related freight. That business grew from about $8 million in the first quarter to more than $15 million by the fourth quarter, according to a news release. Broader electric grid-related revenue surpassed $110 million and has also shown strong recent growth.
Hoppe named SFI chief commercial officer
The company also announced that Scott Hoppe has moved into a newly created role as chief commercial officer of SFI. Hoppe joined TFI International in 2024 through the acquisition of Daseke, and has more than 25 years of industry leadership experience, including roles as vice president of business development, chief operating officer and president of E.W. Wylie.
One of Hoppe’s early priorities will be to leverage SFI’s capabilities across open deck, tank, logistics, dedicated, bulk, van and heavy haul divisions to support the ongoing buildout of data centers and related electric grid projects across the U.S. and Canada.
“We are pleased that in Scott’s new role he will help leverage what is by any measure one of the most extensive open deck transportation networks in North America, with multiple operating companies working seamlessly as SFI and under the TFI umbrella to support time-sensitive and complex client needs,” said Alain Bédard, chairman, president and chief executive officer.
“The data center industry has become a major economic driver, still in its early innings, with several owners, operators and developers already working with SFI. We see a significant opportunity to further our involvement by leveraging our many inherent strengths that are perfectly suited for the multi-year buildout ahead.”
