Qued joins TIA’s Directors Circle, strengthening industry leadership and innovation

The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA), the voice of the $343 billion third-party logistics (3PL) industry, is proud to welcome Qued as the newest member of its esteemed Directors Circle.

"We’re thrilled to welcome Qued and Prasad Gollapalli to the Directors Circle," said Chris Burroughs, TIA Vice President of Government Affairs and Staff Liaison to the Directors Circle. "Qued’s innovative approach to automation and scheduling brings tremendous value to our industry.

"We look forward to adding Qued's knowledge and perspective as we help TIA chart its course as an industry thought and practice leader for its members and the broader supply chain industry."

Qued is the second logistics technology company headed by Mr. Gollapalli to be named to the Directors Circle. Trucker Tools, which Mr. Gollapalli founded and led as CEO, previously was a member of the Directors Circle. He sold Trucker Tools in 2021.
