CINCINNATI (October 28th, 2024) — Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the second-largest freight brokerage in North America and one of the largest global third-party logistics firms, is expanding its presence in Florida with a new office in Tallahassee.
TQL connects customers with shipping needs and carriers with available capacity and service offerings. The company, founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1997, works with 140,000-plus carriers to create greater supply efficiencies for its customers and offers a comprehensive portfolio of logistics services.
Founded in 1997 in Cincinnati, Ohio, TQL is one of the largest logistics firms in North America, with 9,000+ employees in 60+ offices across the U.S.
“Florida’s workforce has proven itself time and time again with every office opening,” TQL President Kerry Byrne said. “We know Tallahassee will be no different and we are excited to join the state capital community.”

Tallahassee is TQL’s seventh location in Florida. The expansion reinforces TQL’s investment in Florida. In 2010 TQL opened its Tampa office and has since added locations in Daytona Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Orlando and a second Tampa office. These offices and their more than 850 employees have earned TQL 67 workplace awards, including Best Companies to Work For in Florida three times.
“Under Governor Ron DeSantis’ leadership, Florida continues to make strategic infrastructure and workforce development investments that attract businesses in competitive industries to the state and to fuel an economic ecosystem that allows businesses to grow and create jobs. We are excited for the expansion of TQL and look forward to the new workforce opportunities they will bring to Tallahassee,” Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly said.
Leon County and Tallahassee’s Strategic Intermodal System Highways, rail lines, freight distribution centers, and airports made the location an ideal spot for TQL’s new office.
“Tallahassee welcomes Total Quality Logistics with open arms as they expand their presence in our great city. Their decision to open a new office here is a testament to the strength of our local infrastructure, talented workforce, and business-friendly environment. We are excited to see TQL bring nearly 100 new jobs to our community, further contributing to our City’s economic growth and opportunities. We look forward to a strong partnership with TQL as they continue to thrive and grow in Tallahassee,” City of Tallahassee Mayor John E. Dailey said.
