Flexible Logistics Brokerage & Carrier Network Solutions
Transporting goods across the supply chain requires more than trucks alone. Murphy Logistics provides complete logistics brokerage services that leverage our network of carriers and asset-based fleet. We negotiate rates, manage capacity, and coordinate shipments so your loads move on schedule at agreed service levels. By combining vetted carriers with our own fleet, we can cover changing volumes, new lanes, and specialized requirements more consistently than a pure brokerage model.
We serve both large enterprises and smaller shippers across medical, food, industrial, and consumer goods markets. We’re trusted by clients in the medical, food, industrial, and consumer goods sectors, among others. Combined with our committed capacity, continuous performance monitoring, and stringent safety oversight, Murphy provides a reliable, flexible option for shippers seeking a logistics broker.
Carrier Network and Capacity Management
Our committed capacity means we have prearranged carrier agreements that enable us to respond quickly to changing demand. Rather than relying solely on open-market spot freight, we can assign shipments to pre-vetted carrier partners. We monitor carrier safety compliance and on-time performance so we can control safety and service risk.
Thanks to our extensive network of carrier partners, we can provide you with the transportation modes that best fit your needs. Whether you need dry van or temperature-controlled transport, we can support your requirements in terms of volume, surge conditions, and variable lanes.
Integration with Asset-Based Fleet and Full Supply Chain Services
Because we also own our own fleet of trucks, we can handle your shipments in-house when needed for even more control. These services are integrated seamlessly into our warehousing and contract logistics capabilities, so even if you need transloading, warehousing, and distribution, we can do it all under the same roof. This integrated model reduces hand-offs, simplifies vendor management, provides a single view of inventory and shipments, and can lower total transportation and handling costs, even in complex supply chains.
If you’re looking for a 3PL provider who can “fill the gaps” via freight broker services as well as internal capacity, Murphy can cover both brokerage and in-house capacity. We routinely handle surge volumes, seasonal shifts, and mixed-mode transportation requirements.
Industry Expertise and Specialized Brokerage Services
Whether transportation is provided through carrier partners or our own fleet, we match equipment and service levels to the needs of each shipment. With our specialized transit options including refrigerated, multi-mode, and dry van, we can accommodate clients in the food and beverage, medical/healthcare, industrial, and consumer goods markets.
Our brokerage program is tailored to handle variable service levels depending on the industry served. We vet the carriers we work with for specific industry constraints, such as food safety and medical device compliance. Whether we provide transportation through these partners or in-house, you can be confident we’ll deliver the right blend of capacity and capability. For example, medical devices may need quick delivery with high visibility, whereas food products typically need refrigerated lanes.
