    Ohio-based Total Quality Logistics (TQL) has opened a new office in Huntsville, with plans to create 100 new jobs.

    The second-largest freight brokerage in North America, TQL will have offices in Bradford Office Park within Cummings Research Park.

    The company came to Mobile in 2014, and expanded to Birmingham in 2016. It has been recognized nine times as one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Alabama,”

    I won't be suprised if Capstone Logistics builds a $100 million gym too. Their lumper fees are becoming higher than the loads pay.

    How long have you had these thoughts? Is this something you knew when you were quite young? Have you acted upon them?

    If no one books their loads, it wouldn't be long before they were a tiny broker.

    When i was younger I wanted to slash them. To make Americas work force harder and stronger. Plus have cigarettes only sold with out filters. Plus only zippos could be used. Now that am I'm older I have changed my mind, conestogas are not a sign of weakness.

    lumper fees just get passed back to the customer

    I load my own wagon and throwing cases in itself is a work out…

    They have the freight and hundreds of thousands companies trying to get a piece of it.
    The question is why this criminal enterprise is allowed to flourish for so long and who is protecting it.

    What happens if you hurt yourself?
    My current company doesn't allow me to touch
    the freight.
