Launching a logistics career in Charleston
If you’re an aspiring sales professional seeking to launch your logistics career, TQL Charleston is the place for you. Just ask National Sales Recruiter Madeline C., who learned firsthand how a career at TQL Charleston could offer unlimited potential.
“I started with TQL as a former student-athlete right after graduating college and found a long-term career right away. I was able to put my competitive drive to work while also being extremely team focused. We host potlucks, celebrate each other’s success, stay active with intramural sports and elevate our careers,” Madeline said. “A game-changer for me was being paired with a mentor who helped me set a strong foundation for my career, and having hands-on leadership who takes the time to learn my career goals and helps me to achieve them.”
Charleston’s award-winning culture
Culture is the heart of TQL Charleston’s success. Our office has been recognized nine times as a South Carolina Top Workplace and has been named a Best Place to Work in South Carolina. With a headcount of 250 hard-working employees and an actively growing team, you’ll be surrounded by driven individuals who are passionate about sales.

We know that when TQL’ers feel supported, they perform their best. That’s why TQL Charleston offers perks that go beyond the typical workplace:

Success is always recognized and celebrated at TQL Charleston. From leadership-hosted happy hours to team outings and milestone events, achievements big and small are acknowledged.

Two recent patio parties showcased that spirit perfectly. The team enjoyed its third annual crawfish boil, filled with good food, great company and a chance to celebrate hard work. To celebrate its 15th anniversary, TQL Charleston gathered for cornhole, volleyball, a dunk tank and more. Both events brought TQL’ers together outside office walls to celebrate success.
Beyond the office walls
Employees frequently take part in intramural sports leagues like flag football, pickleball, kickball and softball. The volleyball and softball teams even brought home league championships. These activities not only strengthen team bonds but also bring a healthy dose of competition to life outside the office.
The office also supports professional growth and connection through groups like Women in Logistics (WIL). This group empowers TQL’ers with mentorship and community through events like their annual Galentine’s Day pottery-painting.
Continuous excellence
TQL Charleston is home to some of TQL’s top talent. In 2024 alone, 15 team members qualified for our annual President’s Club trip in Los Cabos, Mexico, as some of the top sales representatives in the company. Joining this team means surrounding yourself with colleagues who continually set the bar high and inspire others to do the same.
