From QQR's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
QQR Freight is the brand behind a family of companies that keep critical freight moving for supply chains that can't afford to stop. The family includes QQR Transport, Inc. and QQR Logistics Solutions, Inc. The QQR companies bring disciplined execution to automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aerospace, energy, and other key industries throughout North America, including major U.S.‑Canada and U.S.‑Mexico cross-border lanes.
This role sits within the Accounting and Finance team and owns payroll for QQR Freight's family of companies: drivers and office staff at QQR Transport, and office staff at QQR Logistics and the shared services team. QQR Freight is building its finance function in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is looking for an experienced payroll professional ready to grow with it.
Compensation
Placement within the range is based on relevant work experience, demonstrated skills, and applicable education or professional training. The total compensation range for this position is $55,000 to $75,000 annual salary.
Job Overview
QQR Freight is seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist to own payroll from start to finish. This role covers two very different kinds of payroll, and we need someone who is equally strong at both.
On the trucking side, you will run weekly driver payroll and settlements for a truckload fleet scaling to hundreds of company drivers. Driver pay is built on miles, loads, and stops, plus detention, layover, accessorials, and per diem. The plan changes with the work: solo or team, regional or over-the-road, dry van or open deck, and dedicated accounts with their own pay terms.
You understand how a load moves from dispatch to delivery, how to reconcile pay against ELD, dispatch, and load data, and why accurate, on-time pay is one of the biggest levers a carrier has on driver retention.
On the office side, you will run semimonthly payroll through Paychex for office staff across QQR Freight's family of companies. That covers salaried and hourly pay, overtime, PTO, benefit deductions, and commission and bonus pay for the brokerage sales team. The dispatchers, recruiters, and sales staff who keep freight moving deserve the same accuracy and fast answers as the drivers behind the wheel, and this role is measured on both.
QQR Freight is scaling fast through organic growth and acquisitions. Because QQR Freight operates through separate legal entities, you will keep each entity's payroll records and reporting separate while managing multiple pay schedules and states. You will work closely with HR and Recruiting, Operations, Finance, and executive leadership, with full accountability for accurate, timely payroll and clean reconciliations across driver and office payroll alike.
Within 90 days, you are fully proficient in our payroll and operations systems and running weekly driver payroll and semimonthly office payroll independently. Drivers and office staff are paid accurately and on time, commissions are reconciled before payout, and pay questions are answered promptly.
Within 12 months, you have reduced pay corrections and off-cycle checks in driver and office payroll. You have built reconciliation routines that scale with a fleet of hundreds of drivers and a growing office and sales staff, and you have delivered clean quarter-end and year-end filings. You are the person drivers, staff, and leadership trust with their pay questions.
Why QQR Freight?
Exceptional transportation companies are built by exceptional people. The QQR companies work to the QQR Standard: Honesty, Discipline, Innovation, Respect, and Growth. In payroll, that standard is personal.
Honesty means we do what we say we will do, and a paycheck is where people see it most clearly.
Discipline means a process that holds up as volume grows.
Innovation means fewer manual steps and better tools as the companies scale.
Respect means a driver calling from the road and an employee in the office get the same straight answer.
Growth means room to build your career as the finance function grows.
We give our people the autonomy, resources, and support to make a real impact, for the company and its customers and for their families and themselves.
