Total Quality Logistics to expand in St. Louis, investing $370,000 and creating 85 new jobs

April 21, 2023 by Staff Reporter

Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the second-largest freight brokerage firm in North America, announced today it is expanding its presence in St. Louis, investing $370,000 and creating 85 new jobs.

“We’re proud to see Total Quality Logistics expanding and creating jobs in St. Louis,” said Governor Mike Parson. “As we work to strengthen our state’s infrastructure, it’s exciting to see a logistics leader investing and growing locally. This company’s expansion is great news for our thriving transportation industry and further reinforces our status as a world-class logistics hub.”

Since its founding in 1997, TQL has grown to become the nation’s 70th largest private company with 56 offices in 26 states and more than 9,000 employees. Last year, TQL oversaw the transportation of more than three million loads of freight around the globe. The company has operated in Missouri since 2014, with offices in St. Louis and Kansas City that employ more than 100 people. TQL’s new facility will increase its capacity and ability to serve customers in the St. Louis region and beyond.

“St. Louis is a growth market for TQL,” said Kerry Byrne, President of TQL. “We’ve been in the city for nine years and are proud to grow our team, office and commitment to this incredible community. Thank you to Governor Parson and the Missouri Department of Economic Development for their continued support.”

“TQL’s investment in St. Louis will support the local economy and create more opportunities for Missourians in the area,” said Maggie Kost, Acting Director of the Department of Economic Development. “Our state’s growing transportation and logistics sector is vital to our economic resilience and success. We’re glad to support TQL’s expansion and look forward to the benefits it will bring to the industry, the region, and our state.”

For this expansion, TQL will benefit from the Missouri Works program, a tool that helps companies expand and retain workers by providing access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
