Experience & History

The evolution of Murphy Warehouse Company illustrates how four generations of the Murphy family evolved from traditional “family” firms to become a professionally operated organization, run by successive generations. Dating back to 1904, the company has been able to weather economic downturns and intra-company disputes, only to build itself into a nationally recognized leader in the transportation and logistics industry.                                                                                                     
Murphy’s history is in many ways one of the company’s most precious assets. The company’s core values – courage, persistence, and above all integrity – have allowed the family business to endure events such as the Great Depression, changing technologies and business practices, as well as the trauma following the deregulation of the transportation industry in the 1980s. 

With that, it is a common belief at Murphy that to compete and survive, we must be a preferred employer within our industry. Our people are what make us and we take pride in our experienced staff as they have continued to perform and deliver exceptional results for our loyal customers. As a result, our integrated infrastructure composed of public warehousingtransportation services, and logistics has allowed us to develop cost effective and product-appropriate, customizable solutions to any logistical challenge.
