Why We Started IQL…
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. That’s exactly what came to mind for us.
Having spent decades working for the largest companies we were yearning to create our little slice of paradise. A place where we could continue to utilize our industry knowledge but also run the company as desired. From how we maintain relationships with carriers & customers to our belief in what will yield success for us long term.
Right when we created IQL we determined that focusing on quality of service would be best and not relentless growth. We believed that the market would reward the quality we had to offer and IQL would grow at it’s own healthy pace.
Where We Are…
Thanks to our customers giving us a chance to earn their trust, years later we upgraded from operating out of a basement to an office right across from Philadelphia in New Jersey (our home state). We handle shipments nationwide not limited to drayage but all modes. Private vessel projects, setting up distribution networks and more.
Where We Are Going…
Despite our growth & success we still have an appetite for more. We don’t seek to handle all customers but only those that are right for us and aligned with our values mentioned below. Being logisticians we focus on handling all of the modes our customer needs instead of being niche. We will always focus on our customers first and new business somewhere lower on the list. It’s been our recipe for success so far.

Our Values
-
Is doing the right thing all of the time, even when nobody is looking. This is a core value for us as sometimes things happen. Accidents, congestion or other instances that cause delays to shipments. Yes it isn’t the rosiest thing to tell a customer that their freight is going to be late but that’s our responsibility. Some things are out of our hands and we can only be transparent. We will tell you the good, the bad & the ugly as soon as we find out to help you plan accordingly.
-
We know we aren’t the cheapest option but our pricing will always be competitive. You get what you pay for in many cases. With IQL, you aren’t paying for a load board broker who auctions off your freight to the lowest bidder. IQL only works with vetted carriers that have been used for years that we personally know. The peace of mind comes for free when using IQL.
-
Transportation is like New York City (City that never sleeps). So our lights will stay on so yours can go off. We are available 24/7 if you need to book a hot shipment or just have an inquiry. We have Carrier & Customer Portals with live feed for transparency as well. All requests are responded to within an hour and you will never have to send an email asking for an update, we’ll beat you to it.
