Overview
Murphy-Hoffman Company operates a commercial truck dealership and service network for fleets, owner-operators and commercial buyers, covering heavy- and medium-duty vehicles. Its locations sell trucks, stock parts, perform maintenance and body repair, and provide mobile service for vehicles in customers' operations. The company earns revenue by selling equipment and parts, repairing trucks, leasing and renting vehicles, and arranging commercial finance; its transport refrigeration business supports temperature-controlled equipment. Its operating roots trace to a dealership opened in Springfield, Missouri, in 1975, and its headquarters are in Leawood, Kansas.
