TQL Celebrates $35M Newly Finished HQ Expansion

Total Quality Logistics (TQL) the second-largest brokerage in the United States, just made a big investment in its employee satisfaction and company culture, which have often been criticized.

The company recently upgraded its Cincinnati headquarters–1,12 ft. long and costing roughly $35 million in total. TQL Product Manager Chris McMahon ran a full marathon in and around the building, which has space for 3,500+ employees.

During his run, he ran past the new facilities like their basketball and pickleball courts, golf simulator, 24/7 gym, full-service cafeteria, 11 mothers’ rooms, and 40+ new meeting spaces.

All in all, there will be some pretty comfortable sales reps in the building.
