TQL Nationally Recognized as Military Friendly Employer®
Total Quality Logistics (TQL) announced today that it has earned the 2014 Military Friendly Employer® title by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse.
Now in its 11th year, Military Friendly Employers® media is a resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment. Each year, companies taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Advisory Board consisting of leaders in military recruitment. This year, more than 5,000 companies competed for the title.
“Members of the military possess important skills that translate well into the fast-paced job of transportation logistics. They have an outstanding work ethic, they are quick to learn new skills, and they find success in any situation,” said TQL Military Recruiting Specialist and Marine Corps veteran, Matt Disher.
TQL will be showcased, along with other 2014 Military Friendly Employers® in the December edition of G.I. Jobs magazine and online at.

The 2014 Military Friendly Employers® reported hiring more than 117,000 service members and spouses over the last 12 months, representing an average of 14 percent of total new hires,” said Sean Collins, vice president for Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran.
