Cincinnati, OH (Aug. 15, 2023) — Total Quality Logistics (TQL), the second-largest freight brokerage in North America and one of the largest global third-party logistics firms, has been honored a 17th time as part of Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 5000 annual list of fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.

TQL is among only three companies, or 0.01% of honorees, that have earned the Inc. 5000 distinction 17 times. TQL, which recently celebrated its 26th anniversary, has made the prestigious list 17 times in the last 19 years.
