Having an experienced third-party logistics provider in charge of their supply chains gives companies peace of mind.

Murphy Logistics can be your long-term contract logistics partner, providing integrated services as well as deep industry experience in compliance-critical industries. We provide warehousing, distribution, and transportation under a single contract to streamline the experience for our clients and lower their costs. We’re proud to serve clients across demanding industries such as the food and beverage, medical, industrial, and consumer goods markets. When these companies need a contract logistics partner who can guarantee efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and compliance, they turn to Murphy.
Integrated Warehouse & Distribution Services
Compared to public warehousing that offers short-term contracts, our contract warehousing gives clients the long-term, dedicated capacity they need to keep their inventory safe, secure, and organized. Our facilities span 15 campuses totaling more than 5 million square feet of space in Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, and New York. These warehouses are equipped to handle a diverse range of requirements, including bulk, rack, food-grade, air-conditioned, and temperature-controlled logistics. No matter what the product requirements, we have the space that’s most appropriate for it.
We also integrate distribution services into the warehousing contract with capabilities including pick and pack, cross-docking, kitting, and rail-served facilities. Clients also can rest assured we have all the necessary certifications to ensure safety and compliance, including SQF, MN & WI Board of Pharmacy and MNSHARP. Our strong focus on regulatory compliance makes us an ideal choice for highly regulated industries.
Transportation & Freight Management
Our asset-based fleet of more than 160 trucks and 3PL brokerage network of partner carriers across the country put us in the best position to help clients meet their transportation needs. We can provide them with access throughout North America to help them scale capacity to meet the moment. We also offer a range of FTL, LTL, rail, and intermodal options to provide clients with the right mix of logistics services to optimize their cost savings and speed-to-market.
This hybrid model combining asset-based trucking and freight brokerage gives Murphy a level of flexibility other 3PL providers can’t match. We also offer a higher degree of visibility and reliability than other companies, with all trucks equipped with satellite tracking and onboard communications for real-time monitoring of freight. Because our contract logistics services are offered under long-term contracts, clients can be sure that they’ll always have the capacity they need during peak seasons.
Value-Added Contract Logistics Services
Beyond our core warehousing, distribution, and transportation services, clients also choose Murphy Logistics because of the value-added services we provide in tandem. These include kitting, repackaging, customs clearance, labeling, and bonded warehousing that reduce complexity and keep costs low for our customers. With capabilities such as reverse logistics, order fulfillment, and inspection and quality control baked into the contract agreements, our clients won’t have to worry about juggling multiple vendors. We’re the end-to-end supply chain services solution for all their contract logistics needs.
We also offer clients access to our Warehouse Management System, which provides them with visibility and real-time decision-making capabilities across their entire supply chain. We’re also capable of flexing labor, space, and transport capacity to match seasonal surges or unexpected spikes in demand without any disruption to clients’ services. Simply put, Murphy Logistics is a full-service contract logistics operations provider offering the best of both worlds. Our extensive owned assets provide reliability, while our numerous brokerage partnerships deliver flexibility.
