The second-largest freight brokerage in North America and one of the largest global third-party logistics firms is expanding in Virginia with a new office in Hampton Roads.
Total Quality Logistics, which opened a Richmond office in 2015, recently opened a Norfolk office at 5700 Lake Wright Drive near the airport, the company announced Tuesday.
The company is adding 100 jobs in the area, Mayor Kenny Alexander said in the joint announcement from the Hampton Roads Alliance, which markets the region to companies. TQL Norfolk is hiring for entry-level sales positions.
The proximity to the Port of Virginia terminals helped in the decision.
“Norfolk is an established transportation hub with immense opportunity for supply chain management and logistics,” TQL President Kerry Byrne said.
TQL connects customers with shipping needs and carriers with available capacity and service offerings. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1997, the company works with more than 140,000 carriers to create greater supply chain efficiencies for its customers. The company employs more than 9,000 workers in 60 offices across the U.S.
