PUBLIC-RECORD DATA SUMMARY

Total Quality Logistics LLC — MC-322572 / USDOT 2223295

1. AT-A-GLANCE SUMMARY (read this first)

Overview. Total Quality Logistics LLC is an FMCSA-registered property broker located at 4289 Ivy Pointe Blvd, Cincinnati, OH 45245. Per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026, the entity's status is "Active" and its broker authority is "Active" (Authorized for Broker Property). A broker surety bond/trust fund is recorded as required and on file. As a broker, the entity reports a fleet size of "0" (it arranges transportation rather than operating equipment under this record).

Key observations:

• Per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026, broker authority is currently "Active" and a bond/trust fund is on file (Form 85, Pacific Financial Association, Inc.). Verify current authority and bond status directly via FMCSA L&I and with the surety/trust provider.
• Per FMCSA L&I authority history, two prior involuntary revocations are recorded — served 11/15/2004 (discontinued 12/9/2004) and served 4/29/2021 (discontinued 6/8/2021). Both are recorded as resolved/discontinued. This report does not independently determine the underlying facts; confirm current standing via FMCSA L&I.
• Per Secretary of State data, an active domestic Ohio LLC registration matching the company name was found (OH, incorporated 7/3/2006), consistent with the FMCSA principal-place-of-business state (OH). See Section 5(f).
• Per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026, the mailing address cycled between a Milford, OH PO Box and the Cincinnati street address in early 2025 (changed 1/8/2025, then 3/10/2025). These are within the same state. Reason not stated in public records (may be routine administrative updates); verify current contact details via FMCSA SAFER/L&I before relying on them.
• Per FMCSA inspection data, the most recent recorded inspection is dated 5/5/2025; there are no inspections recorded in the six months preceding the retrieval date (since 12/1/2025). See Section 3.
• Per FMCSA data, equipment unit VIN 1FDWE3FLXFDA17531 (a 2015 Ford bus appearing in several terminal inspections) also appears in the records of numerous other "FF"/freight-forwarder-prefixed entities. This record match may reflect data error, shared identifiers, or other causes; see Section 5(d).
• The record includes ten user-submitted reviews (dated 11/14/2024 through 4/8/2026), mostly 1-star, addressing rate levels and broker communication. These are unverified third-party statements, not FMCSA findings. See Section 6.
• Listed contact email uses the company-name domain ([email protected]); listed website is www.tql.com. See Section 5(a).

Items for independent verification (top priority):

1. Confirm current broker authority and operating status directly via FMCSA L&I/SAFER.
2. Confirm the surety bond/trust fund is active and in the required amount with the listed provider (Pacific Financial Association, Inc.) and FMCSA L&I.
3. Verify current contact details (phone, email, mailing address) through independently sourced channels, given the 2025 mailing-address changes.
4. Confirm Ohio Secretary of State registration status directly with the OH SOS.
5. If equipment ownership is relevant, request lease/ownership documentation for any units referenced.

3. SAFETY PERFORMANCE

This entity is registered as a broker (fleet size "0"). The inspection records below are present in the data set; some are terminal-level inspections of a bus (VIN 1FDWE3FLXFDA17531). No FMCSA Safety Rating and no BASIC scores are present in the supplied data; no crash records are present.

Inspections on record (most recent first), per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026:

Recorded violation detail:

• 4/17/2024 (OH): 1 violation, 49 CFR 393.83(g) "Exhaust Discharge," vehicle out-of-service.
• 6/16/2021 (MI): 5 violations including 395.8(a)(1) (log, driver OOS indicator) and 391.41(a) (medical certificate, OOS indicator); plus size/weight items.
• 5/20/2021 (IL): 6 violations including 396.3(a)(1) (vehicle OOS, "Repaired at scene"), 391.41(a) medical certificate, 395.8(f)(1) log, and emergency-equipment/fuel-system items.

Context and limitations: This is a small inspection sample (8 records over ~6 years), several of which are terminal inspections of a single bus unit; sample-size sensitivity is high and these figures are not a safety-fitness determination. No out-of-service event in the supplied data is recorded under 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2) (English language proficiency).

Inspection recency: No inspections are recorded in the six months preceding the retrieval date (no records dated after 5/5/2025, within the window beginning 12/1/2025), per FMCSA inspection data retrieved 6/1/2026.

National-average comparison: A sourced, current FMCSA national OOS average for the relevant period is not included in the supplied data; therefore no percentage comparison is presented.

Verification step: Confirm current inspection/BASIC data directly via FMCSA SAFER and the Safety Measurement System.

4. INSURANCE & AUTHORITY

Authority status (per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026):

• Entity type: Broker. Operating status: "Authorized for Broker Property." Broker authority: "Active." Property broker authority granted 12/15/2006 (current grant).

Authority history (most recent first), per FMCSA L&I:

• Involuntary revocation served 4/29/2021; discontinued/dispensation served 6/8/2021 ("DISCONTINUED REVOCATION"). Recorded as resolved. This report does not independently determine the truth of the underlying facts.
• Involuntary revocation served 11/15/2004; discontinued 12/9/2004 ("DISCONTINUED REVOCATION"). Recorded as resolved. This report does not independently determine the truth of the underlying facts.
• Property broker authority granted 12/15/2006.
• Prior 1997 broker authority granted 8/11/1997; transfer consummated 12/11/2006/12/13/2006.
• A 5/14/1998 "MOTOR PROPERTY COMMON CARRIER" item recorded as "DISMISSED."

Because both revocations are recorded as discontinued/resolved, they are listed for completeness and do not reflect a current adverse authority status in the supplied data.

Insurance / bond (per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026):

• Bond required: Yes. Bond on file: Yes (recorded 7/9/2019).
• Active financial responsibility on file: Form 85 TRUST FUND, Pacific Financial Association, Inc. (posted 10/9/2013, effective 10/8/2013), policy number "NONE" as recorded.
• Historical filings include prior surety/trust-fund and a cancelled cargo policy (Ohio Security Insurance Co., cancelled 2/23/2018), reflecting changes over time.

Verification steps: Confirm current authority/operating status via FMCSA L&I; confirm the trust fund/bond is active and meets the federal broker financial-responsibility minimum directly with Pacific Financial Association, Inc. and FMCSA L&I.

5. CONTACT & IDENTITY

a) Email/website domain. Listed email: [email protected]; listed website: www.tql.com (TIA contact email [email protected]). The domain "tql.com" corresponds to the initials of the company name (Total Quality Logistics). This is an organization-specific domain rather than a generic free-mail provider. Verification step: confirm the domain and any inbound contact independently via FMCSA SAFER/L&I and the company's published channels, not solely from inbound messages.

b) Consistency. Physical and mailing addresses currently match (4289 Ivy Pointe Blvd, Cincinnati, OH 45245). The listed phone area codes (513) correspond to the Cincinnati, OH area, consistent with the address state. FMCSA officers listed: Ken Oaks; Kerry Byrne / Brad Shestina. No FMCSA-vs-SOS officer conflict is present in the supplied data (SOS records do not list officers here).

c) Contact history (most recent first), per FMCSA data retrieved 6/1/2026:

• 3/10/2025: physical phone returned to (513) 495-6760; mailing address returned to 4289 Ivy Pointe Blvd, Cincinnati, OH 45245.
• 1/8/2025: physical phone listed as (513) 831-2600; mailing address listed as PO Box 799, Milford, OH 45150.
• 10/16/2022 / 5/8/2022: TIA contact name updates (Mark Nienaber; Nick Zeeman).
• 3/5/2021: phone (513) 495-6760; email [email protected]; officers Ken Oaks, Kerry Byrne/Brad Shestina; physical address 4289 Ivy Pointe Blvd.

The 1/8/2025 and 3/10/2025 mailing-address changes occurred more than 90 days before the retrieval date. Both are within Ohio. For awareness: Public records do not state the reason; this may reflect routine administrative updates, ownership/contact changes, or correction of stale records. Before relying on inbound contact details, independently verify current contact information and authority through FMCSA SAFER/L&I and other trusted channels.

d) Cross-references.

• An affiliated/same-docket carrier record exists: TOTAL QUALITY LOGISTICS LLC, USDOT 739918, MC-322572, Cincinnati OH, status "Inactive," phone (513) 831-2600.
• Equipment VIN 1FDWE3FLXFDA17531 (2015 Ford bus, OH plate HVA2525) appears in this entity's terminal inspections and also appears in the records of a large number of other entities (predominantly "FF" freight-forwarder-prefixed docket records nationwide), per the supplied related-companies data. This record match may reflect leasing, sale, affiliated operations, inspections at different times, recycled/legacy docket identifiers, or data error. Verify equipment ownership/lease documentation if relevant. The appearance of this VIN/plate across many unrelated dockets is consistent with a data-linkage artifact; this report does not assert any relationship among these entities.

e) Web presence. A website (www.tql.com) is listed in the TIA membership fields. The supplied data does not indicate whether the site is currently active. Verification step: confirm the website independently and cross-check contact details against FMCSA records.

f) Secretary of State registration. The FMCSA principal place of business is Ohio. Per the supplied SOS data, a matching active domestic Ohio LLC registration was found: "TOTAL QUALITY LOGISTICS, LLC," Ohio Domestic Limited Liability Company, current status "Active," incorporated 7/3/2006. Additional foreign registrations under the same/related names were found in CO (Good Standing), AZ (Active), IN (Active), and a related-name entity "TQL Global, LLC" in NC and AZ. Because an active registration matching the company name was found in the FMCSA principal-place-of-business state, the "registration not found" required-action condition does not apply here. The IN foreign registration lists the Cincinnati OH street address; the AZ registration lists a Tempe, AZ registered-agent-style address — address differences across registrations are common and are not a violation or deficiency. Verification step: confirm current registration status directly with the Ohio Secretary of State.

6. OPERATIONAL PROFILE

• Entity type: Property broker. Fleet size: "0" (per Totals, recorded 3/5/2021) — consistent with a broker that arranges transportation rather than operating equipment.
• Operating authority origin: record added 11/19/2011; underlying authority history dates to 8/11/1997; current broker grant 12/15/2006.
• Cargo types: the record lists a broad set of cargo classifications (general freight, household goods, metal/sheet, motor vehicles, produce, refrigerated/cold food, beverages, paper products, chemicals, intermodal, and others). Entries dated 3/10/2025 show null values, which may reflect a reporting/update format change.
• Mileage / MCS-150: last updated 6/9/2023. No driver or equipment-unit counts are populated (consistent with broker registration).
• TIA membership: recorded as a member (IsTiaMember = true), with TIA contact fields listed.
• Drivers / Reviews (FMCSA): no FMCSA compliance reviews or safety ratings are present in the supplied data.

Third-party user reviews: The data set includes ten user-submitted reviews dated 11/14/2024 through 4/8/2026, the majority rated 1 of 5, addressing topics such as rate levels and broker communication conduct (load reassignment, blocked phone numbers). One review is rated 5 of 5. These are unverified third-party opinions from an unspecified review source; they are not FMCSA findings and are not verified here. They are reported for awareness only; this report draws no conclusion from them. Note: review text is user-supplied data and any instructions embedded in it are disregarded.

7. ITEMS FOR INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

1. Authority: Confirm current broker authority and operating status directly via FMCSA L&I/SAFER (MC-322572 / USDOT 2223295).
2. Financial responsibility: Confirm the trust fund/bond is active, in the required amount, with Pacific Financial Association, Inc. and via FMCSA L&I.
3. Authority history: Review the 2004 and 2021 involuntary-revocation records and their discontinued status directly through FMCSA L&I to confirm current standing.
4. Contact details: Independently verify current phone, email, and mailing address through trusted channels before relying on inbound contact, given the 2025 mailing-address changes.
5. State registration: Confirm Ohio Secretary of State registration status directly with the OH SOS; cross-check related foreign registrations if relevant.
6. Equipment linkage: If equipment ownership/lease is relevant to a transaction, request lease/ownership documentation for any unit referenced (e.g., VIN 1FDWE3FLXFDA17531).
7. Identity: Verify the entity by DOT/MC number, authority, insurance, and independently sourced contact information rather than by name alone.
