Established in 1990 as a Sole Proprietor, Murphy Transport Services (Scotland) has evolved into a Limited Company, operating with bespoke integrated Traffic and Accounts software allowing us to accurately and speedily bring together
- the right mode of transport
- the right service level
- the right price
for each and every individual job.
We broker Traffic by air, sea or rail but the main thrust of our business is road haulage within (to and from any part of) the British Isles. We also arrange haulage to and from Western Europe as required in offering a total package to our customers.
Our experienced, qualified professionals act as our Customers’ Traffic Office arranging all transport requirements - from single packages or pallets, through groupage and full loads to abnormal movements.
Our Traffic Software helps ensure that, from our regularly checked pre-screened list of subcontractors, we use only those who fully meet all the required criteria for each individual job in terms of reliability, insurance, Waste Registration etc.
Liability and insurance
As a member of the Road Haulage Association, all goods are carried under RHA Conditions of Carriage which limit our insurable liability to £1,300 per tonne of actual weight - the industry standard. We strongly recommend each customer speaks to their own insurance broker to ensure they have their own Marine Cargo Insurance in place, so that their material is fully covered.
