Troy, Michigan – Mayor Dane Slater and the Troy City Council, along with Total Quality Logistics (TQL) officials today announced that the third party logistics company is opening a new sales office in the city of Troy, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit.

TQL was featured in the November issue of Inc. magazine as one of the top job creators in the country and recognized by the publisher of G.I. Jobs magazine as one of this country’s most Military Friendly Employers.

“We offer careers for entry-level employees that allow them to progress quickly and take on leadership roles. More than 90% of the current sales leadership within our organization has been promoted from within,” said Byrne.
