Project Logistics Services for Oversized & Specialized Shipments
Not all shipments are the same, and there are bound to be those that require specialized treatment. Oversized, sensitive, and high-value shipments have needs that go beyond what routine transport services can provide. They may require customized routes, special permitting, stringent compliance, or highly coordinated warehouse support. In situations like these, it’s best to have a qualified and experienced 3PL provider there to offer the logistical expertise needed to handle these unique cases.
As one of the most trusted Midwest project logistics providers with more than 125 years of experience, Murphy Logistics has the ability to handle even the most unique project-based supply chain challenges. From our base of operations in the Twin Cities area, we connect to United States and international shipping routes through our asset-based fleet, 3PL carrier relationships, rail partnerships, and extensive brokerage network. These give us the edge when it comes to one-off specialized project cargo services across a wide range of industries.
From heavy-duty construction equipment to temperature-sensitive perishable goods, clients from virtually all sectors trust Murphy to provide nationwide project logistics tailored specifically to their unique needs.
