What TQ Logistics, Inc. does

TQ Logistics, Inc. is a privately held U.S. transportation company headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, founded in 1999, that provides Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) and complementary dedicated transportation services to Fortune 500 enterprises. Under the DCC model, TQ assigns dedicated vehicles, drivers, and routes exclusively to a single customer on a long-term contractual basis, offering the operational control of a private fleet without the customer's capital, insurance, compliance, and HR burden. The company supports approximately 40 operating locations across 24 states, with trucks moving in 40+ states weekly, and serves verticals including appliances/electronics, medical/healthcare, pharmaceutical, retail, food/beverage, industrial supply, furniture, and scientific/research manufacturers.

The technology stack is assembled from third-party integrations rather than proprietary platforms: AI-powered safety and telematics via Samsara; driver-behavior and risk monitoring via SpeedGauge; routing and dispatch via Trimble Maps; transportation management via Truckpedia (which claims to automate up to 80% of manual tasks); compliance and driver qualification management via CDL Suite and J.J. Keller Encompass; and data analytics via Vusion. Real-time GPS shipment visibility is exposed to customers through a tracking portal. The company additionally offers Dedicated Yard Management (24/7 on-site spotters, dock coordination, WMS/TMS/telematics integration) and Private Fleet Conversions, which migrate existing private fleets and their drivers to outsourced dedicated operations.

TQ generates revenue through long-term subscription-style DCC contracts with enterprise customers, with pricing determined per-customer via a complimentary fleet analysis conducted by senior leadership. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting Presidents, CEOs, and Directors of Operations, supplemented by a content marketing program (News & Insights blog, The Dispatcher newsletter). The company has no public revenue disclosure, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A activity; ownership appears to remain privately held following the August 2025 CEO succession from Andy Beeston to Andrew Bounds.
