No loads match that search. Try a state — TX, IL, MN, OH, CA — or clear the filters.

Home terminal: Murray, Kentucky. The road: everywhere else.
J.S. Murphy Expedites LLC runs coast to coast and border to border. The load board above is the evidence: Plymouth, Minnesota in the north; Corpus Christi and San Benito, Texas on the Gulf; palletized stone delivered into Brooklyn, New York; and a 7,057 lb transformer load out of Dyersburg, Tennessee that dropped in Tulsa and Oklahoma City on its way to Benecia, California — followed by a 4,800 lb equipment haul back east from Fremont, California to Garfield, Arkansas.
Short day runs close to home get the same care as the cross-country hauls. If it fits the deck and scales under 10,000 lbs, it can go.
