CINCINNATI

Today, FC Cincinnati opens it's home MLS (soccer) season in it's brand spankin' new stadium on the west side of downtown.  It's a beautiful stadium with all the latest bells and whistles.  Naturally, someone bought the naming rights.  It's called TQL stadium.

So, who is TQL.  Well, here goes.  TQL stands for Total Quality Logistics.  It is a private company operating in the freight forwarding business.  It is the largest privately owned business in Cincinnati.  

TQL provides it's customers with freight brokerage all over the U.S. and around the world.  They can handle full and less-than-full truckload services.  Delivery by special and intermodal services.  

The company was started locally in 1997 and has grown to the point that it now has over fifty offices in 26 states.  The little company now employs over 5,000 employees. Two years ago they posted revenue of $3.6 billion and net revenue of $683 million.  

The new stadium will be a diamond in the crown of the Queen City.  Check it out sometime.
